The article is deceptive because it presents a one-sided and biased account of the feud between Alyssa Milano and Shannen Doherty. It does not provide any evidence or sources to support the claims made by either party, nor does it acknowledge any possible alternative explanations for their conflict. The article also uses emotional manipulation and sensationalism to elicit sympathy for Milano while portraying Doherty as a villain. Additionally, the article implies that there is still some unresolved tension between the former co-stars without providing any context or details about their attempts at reconciliation.
The article uses phrases such as 'almost a quarter of a century later', 'lack of female support', and 'hurt people hurt people' to create a sense of urgency, importance, and drama for the story. However, these statements are not supported by any facts or data, nor do they acknowledge the possibility that some readers may find them irrelevant or exaggerated.
The article does not provide any context for why it chose to cover this story now after so many years have passed since the feud occurred. It also does not explain how it relates to current events or issues of interest to its audience.
The article does not mention any attempts by either party to resolve their differences through mediation, therapy, communication, or other means. It also does not provide any context for why they decided to go public with their feud after so many years. This suggests that the author is more interested in sensationalizing the drama than in presenting a balanced and fair account of what happened.
The article cites only one source for its claims about Milano's ultimatum, which is Holly Marie Combs. However, it does not mention that Combs was also a friend of both actresses and may have had her own biases or agenda in recounting the events. Moreover, the article does not provide any corroborating evidence for Combs' account from other sources such as producers, crew members, or witnesses who were present during the negotiations.
The article implies that there is still some unresolved tension between Milano and Doherty by ending with 'it's heartbreaking'. However, it does not explain why this is so or how they have tried to move on from the situation. It also does not mention any positive aspects of their collaboration such as their shared passion for the show, their mutual respect for each other's talents and contributions, or their appreciation for the fans who supported them.
The article uses phrases like 'a toxicity that is still happening', 'lack of female support', and 'hurt people hurt people' to evoke a sense of victimhood and injustice for Milano. However, these statements are not supported by any facts or data, nor do they acknowledge the possibility that Doherty may have been treated unfairly or harassed by some members of the cast or crew.
The author of this article is Alyssa Milano's friend and collaborator on various projects. This can be inferred from the use of phrases such as 'I don't think it's really that I'm sad for me or for my life', which suggests a personal investment in the outcome of the story, and 'Do I wish that we could all sit on a stage? Yeah, because again, this was like almost a quarter of a century ago. How is it possible to continue to hold on to that?', which implies an emotional connection with Doherty as well as frustration over their inability to move past the issue.
The article uses emotional language such as 'sad', 'heartbreaking', and 'holding on to that' to elicit an emotional response from the reader. However, it does not provide any evidence or sources to support these claims or show how they affect Milano's life or career.

The article does not acknowledge the possibility that there may have been other factors involved in the decision to replace Doherty or that both actors may have contributed to the conflict. It also ignores any positive aspects of Doherty's performance or character on the show.
Combs, Doherty's guest on the podcast, confirmed that Milano strong-armed the producers into firing Doherty after three seasons
Doherty was an original cast member of “Charmed” alongside Milano and Holly Marie Combs. Doherty's character Prue was killed off after three seasons and replaced by Rose McGowan's Paige.
Origins of the feud were traced back to the promotion and advertising of the show before the airing of the series’ first season, with Doherty saying in a previous episode of her podcast that there was a “lack of female support” when it appeared the show’s marketing revolved around her despite Milano and Combs also being leads.

Alyssa Milano has denied claims she had her former co-star Shannen Doherty fired from their hit show Charmed. However, in a December appearance on Doherty's podcast and an Instagram post shared Saturday, Milano elaborated on the situation behind the scenes at that time regarding the firing of Prue Halliwell (Doherty's character) and Rose McGowan replacing her as Paige Matthews. She also mentioned that there was a professional mediator brought in to investigate all claims and an on-set producer/babysitter who were both present during the investigation. Milano stated that she did not have the power to get anyone fired, but it is unclear if this statement is entirely accurate as Doherty's character was ultimately replaced with McGowan's Paige Matthews.
