Rose McGowan didn't twiddling my thumbs on social media when talking about her alleged experience on the set of Charmed.The 46-year-old actress accused her former co-star, Alyssa Milano, of making a "toxic AF" work environment once they both starred on the hit WB show.
It appears the social media rift began on Friday, Aug. 21, following the ultimate night of the Democratic National Convention.
Milano first tweeted "a thread of all the items the Democratic Party has done to form the planet a far better place."
In her post, the 47-year-old star began with the 19th amendment, writing, "Under the leadership of Democratic President Wilson , the U.S. Constitution was amended to grant women the proper to vote."
Shortly after, McGowan quote tweeted the message. "Ummm... did you conveniently forget only WHITE WOMEN got the proper to vote? They betrayed all others," she shared. "To quote Marilyn Manson, 'I wasn't born with enough middle fingers.'""If I had been the leader of the Suffragettes, i might have waited and fought for EVERYONE'S right to vote. They f--ked up. And you wonder why Black Women think white feminists are frauds. Most are," McGowan continued.
Milano chimed in, "Rose and anyone bleating an equivalent 'dEmOcRaTs DoNt HeLp PeOpLe' nonsense, your lies are getting to hurt people less privileged than you. it is the quite thing an ACTUAL fraud would do. Thousands of individuals are dying each day but you continue together with your hyperbolic attention seeking tweets."
Moving faraway from politics, McGowan then accused Milano of appropriating the #MeToo Movement. "1) You stole #metoo (a brilliant communication tool, not a movement) from Tarana. You co-opted my movement, the Cultural Reset, for fame, jealous of me for outing my rapist. You made 250k per week on Charmed. (Con't)," the actress claimed.
McGowan then shared her alleged experience on the set of Charmed together with her former co-star.
She tweeted, "2) You threw a slot in front of the crew, yelling, 'They don't pay me enough to try to to this s--t!' Appalling behavior on the daily. I cried whenever we got renewed because you made that set toxic AF. Now, get off my coattails you f--king fraud."
McGowan later uploaded an interview clip from 2018, during which she told Nightline that she wasn't a lover of Milano's. "I do not like her... 'cause i feel she's a lie," she said at the time.In response to the resurfaced interview, Milano posted, "Do you think that we will get #AlyssaMilanoIsALie to trend no 1 before I fall asleep? Everyone saying sweet things—I see you. Thank you. Everyone saying horrible things—I see you. F--ck off."
Of the back-and-forth on social media, Milano said during a statement to E! News, "Hurt people hurt people. Commenting any longer doesn't align with my wellness plan."
We have also reached bent McGowan's rep and Warner Bros. for comment, and have yet to receive a response from neither.
As fans will recall, the 2 actresses starred on Charmed together when McGowan joined the cast within the fourth season. Milano played Pheobe Halliwell, while McGowan played Paige Matthews.
The series ran from 1998-2006. Holly Marie Combs (Piper Halliwell) and Shannen Doherty (Prue Halliwell) were a part of the first cast and starred within the first three seasons with Milano. When Doherty departed in 2001, McGowan became a lead.
