Charmed fans will remember Rose and Shannen from the show.

When Shannen Doherty was fired from Charmed, after three series, Rose McGowan was brought in as her replacement. This spawned a supposed rivalry between the girls which media outlets tried to exaggerate. Back when the news broke it was rumoured that their co-star Alyssa had given the studio an ultimatum to choose between her or Shannen. Once Rose began on the show the attention was shifted onto her and people began to fabricate a "feud" between the two girls. Now, over 10 years since she first began on the show, Rose has penned a heartfelt and powerful message to Shannen and posted it on Instagram. In the letter she refers to the two of them being "pitted against each other for society's pleasure" and that they were "both cast in a fake real life role". She went on to give out about how they were both treated by the media and also by the "Beige Brained White Dudes in Charge". She ends the letter wishing Shannen strength during her battle with cancer. Read it here: "Dear @theshando, Someone made this of us & I wanted to share it with you as it made me reflect. We have a funny history. As young women we were pitted against each other for society's pleasure. The rules of Hollywood engagement brainwashed into us were truly vile. The men & brainwashed women in our business made it so we couldn't be friends, I regret that. We were cast in this weird fake reality show where we were supposed to be enemies. I resented it greatly. I regret not being awake enough to articulate this to you at the time. Fear was drilled into me from day one in this town & you were the barometer by which my behavior was judged. I was under a microscope, one false move and I'd be branded 'difficult' just like you. I think we all know what happens when girls here get out of line. I willfully remained enigmatic & unengaged. The Bad Girl Shaming you received at the hands of the media was merciless. Global media shaming is real AF, as you know. Fuck them all & their machine, too. You cast a long shadow over my life. We were both cast in a fake real life role, that of the Bad Girl. I had to prove I wasn't as bad as you or I'd get the axe, too. But we were never the bad ones, it was them., the Beige Brained White Dudes in Charge. Well fuck them. Damn them for fucking with our minds & careers just because their misogynistic belief systems couldn't sanction two strong females in a traditionally subservient role- actress. I refused to give them the cat fight they so wanted. Shannen, we didn't know it yet, but we were the good ones. Two boss young women that scared the 'faux-liberals in provincial Hollywood, for that sin we got burned at the media stake, egged on by Hollywood who believe the press they start. There was a strongly inferred threat of me being blacklisted in tv as I'd been in film. Instead of understanding that we were a different breed, they tried to crush us, but they couldn't. I send you strength. ⚒?#rosearmy #BRAVE #shannendoherty #typos4life" See the post here:
