She described her life around the time that Doherty, 52, was fired from the show in 2001 as “hard.”
“I have worked super hard in my life, in the last 25 years, to heal all of my trauma,” Milano said, noting that the process included healing more trauma than just “the trauma that I experienced while shooting [the show].”
TheInsatiablestar said that she intended to be a “healed person that helps heal people” and added that she wished that Combs, 50, and Doherty could sit on a stage with her to discuss any long-standing issues.
Milano said she’s already apologized for the part she played in what happened on theCharmedset, so she doesn’t know “how else to fix it.”
“I even don’t know if I could put myself out there any more than I already have to try to fix it,” she said, calling the situation “heartbreaking” and “uncomfortable.”

“I don’t know one other show that has had the success thatCharmedhad where the cast still speaks ill of the experience a quarter of a century later,” she wrote in a caption of the post that featured a transcript from MegaCon.
