Rose McGowan accuses Alyssa Milano of making Charmed set 'toxic' in Twitter feud
They starred together on Charmed for almost a decade but over the weekend an argument broke out between former costars Rose McGowan and Alyssa Milano, in which McGowan called Milano a "fraud" and claimed she made the set of the hit show "toxic AF".
The feud began late last week after McGowan took to Twitter to criticise the Democratic Party following the final night of their National Convention. Milano then tweeted a screenshot of McGowan's comments in which she claimed the Democrats had "achieved nothing". Accompanying the screenshot, Milano created a thread of things the Democratic Party has achieved over the years, ending with a tweet in which she specifically called out McGowan for her comments calling them, "hyperbolic attention seeking tweets."
The following day McGowan hit back at Milano on Twitter with a series of tweets containing a number of accusations, including the claim that Milano "stole #metoo from Tarana [Burke]," and that Milano earned "250k per week on Charmed," but "...threw a fit in front of the crew, yelling, ‘They don’t pay me enough to do this shit!’ Appalling behavior on the daily." McGowan also claimed that she cried every "every time [Charmed] got renewed because [Milano] made that set toxic AF."
A thread of all the things the Democratic Party has done to make the world a better place.

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) pic.twitter.com/d9HmnJEYXM

The feud ended with Milano seemingly blocking McGowan, who scared a screenshot of someone else being blocked by Milano alongside the caption "#metoo."

While Milano has since pinned a tweet saying, "Commenting further doesn’t align with my wellness plan."
Commenting further doesn’t align with my wellness plan.

Both stars have seemingly continued to tweet about the argument in the days following, with Milano retweeting a comment that said, "I wanna be on a toxic set with Alyssa Milano," while McGowan tweeted a picture of herself kissing her middle finger.
