Holly Marie Combs Says Shannen Doherty Would Be 'Shocked' by Outpouring of Love After Death

Shannen Doherty's 'Charmed' co-star, Holly Marie Combs, shares how her longtime friend would feel about the response to her death. In a special episode of Shannen's 'Let���s Be Clear' podcast, Holly reflects on the 'outpouring of love' the 'Beverly Hills, 90210' star has received since she died.

I loved Shannen Doherty since 1990 when she played Brenda in season 1 .. so 34 yrs I loved and been a fan of hers ... She will definitely be missed😢❤

[@kaygee1663]

I feel sorry for Holly, but I feel worse for Shannen's Mom. There's nothing worse than losing a child. I know first hand. You never get over it. Its the nightmare with no end. I hope her Mom has a lot of family and friends to lean on. RIP Shannen 🙏❤

[@Ju5tThatSaraH]

Yes, I don't have children, but I know loss. In my perspective you never move on, you just move forward the way you can ❤ and in your own time.

[@ross23233]

Cliché. You are making makes a broad generalization about a complex and deeply personal experience.Some people get over it; not all mothers are the same. Some mothers may have a strong connection with their son and daughters but also have a rich spiritual life that helps them accept tragedies and move on, enjoying life.

[@Ju5tThatSaraH]

@@ross23233 It's the way I feel and see it. So sorry I forgot to put in my perspective before. You are allowed your opinion, I get what you mean. But by saying it's a cliché you're minimizing my feelings about it. You don't have to agree, that's fine. Just don't tell people that their opinion is a cliché. I know loss. I have lost a close family member, and no I didn't move on. I moved forward and that is a difference for me. Have a nice day 🌸

[@kaygee1663]

@@ross23233 No Ross, that is NOT a cliche. I'm not about to debate the loss of a child with you. The fact that you called grieving the loss of a child a cliche, shows how challenged you are. Grow a pair and talk about something you actually know something about. Its not our fault you ended up with a Mom who didn't care about you.

[@Ju5tThatSaraH]

@@ross23233 sorry about your son. But please don't tell others what to do and what's right. It's great you are at peace with it. Some people just can't get over it and move on, but they move forward. No need for you to be so patronising toward other peoples grief. People grieve differently. I have moved forward, I live my life and am happy and content. Doesn't mean I don't remember or think about them or miss them. That's me. You do you. If you don't agree it's fine, you grieve your way which is fine, others grieve their way. Take care 🌸

[@pretendamnesia]

Their friendship is so beautiful.

[@jamiesmith6950]

Don't believe her she had her fired and she was jealous of Shannon she admitted it

[@pretendamnesia]

@@jamiesmith6950 Alissa had Shannen fired. NOT Holly. And Rose knew the story but never said anything.

[@flowersL]

​@@jamiesmith6950 do you mean alyssa milano

[@jenbeard5783]

​@@jamiesmith6950I think you're getting the ladies mixed up. Shannen talks about it in the first few episodes of the podcast. She was friends with Holly (Piper) for three decades. Even before the show and wouldn't do the show without Holly. Allyssa (Phoebe) threatened to sue if they didn't get rid of Shannen. She thought she was the bigger star and should get more money even tho Shannen helped put a lot of the early show together. Holly wanted to quit without Shannen but was threatened with a lawsuit so she made them go with what story Shannen wanted to tell about the firing. At the time she was worried she'd lose work if people knew she had been fired so she said she quit. Holly just tried to stay neutral and do her job but they were friends until the very end. Alyssa however made backhanded compliments and lied about Shannen for the last decade.

[@amyjohnson7329]

My heart breaks for holly

[@MrMikeabcd1]

Had a huge crush on Shannen, growing up seeing her on the small screen. Her passing brings sadness, may she RIP

[@Taylor.Dude.]

Had a crush on her too. Very beautiful woman until the very end!

[@der_Allsehende_Seher]

I am rewatching "Charmed" We have lost another dear soul too soon. Rest in peace, wonderful Shannen Doherty. ❤

[@MSeliskaZ]

So am I… I didn’t like her as a s child but life is not easy. I feel really sad that Shannon is no longer here… this Holly’s interview breaks my heart. It’s so painful to see people you really love to die. Befor I lost 2 very important people in my life-one was my best friend and then my father…- I thought that it’s just something that’s not gonna happen to people around me. When someone so young passes away, it’s just so not fair🥺

[@ckd0680]

I've loved Shannen since the last season of Little House on the Prarie! She was an amazing actress & was one of my favs of all time. I'm pissed at how media treated her! I'm pissed she didn't get the recognition she truly deserved! She was a Icon & one of the most NATURALLY gorgeous women on the planet! This GA girl is heartbroken for her family & friends but also us fans! Cancer robbed us of a beautiful gift!

[@nonenone4360]

Watched Shannen for over a couple of decades, so being one of her fans and admirer of Shannen's my prayers have been with her and her tribe. ❤️‍🩹😇💐

RIP to Shannon she was so talented, beautiful,strong going through what she went through. And she will be missed deeply so many of our legends from back in the day are passing sooo sad. 💔🙏😥

[@jmb1666]

She aged so beautifully. I just loved her...badass image and all. We all go through phases, but in the end, she proved to be an amazing person.

[@user-us5pv8zw3z]

We do love Shannen. We love her because of her determination to not be a victim of cancer but a warrior who put up a just and honorable fight. We love Shannen because she refused to coddle the media but always spoke the truth. We love her because of her moral fortitude. We love Shannen. ❤️

[@KellysMagicalRealm]

Shannon and Holly had the most beautiful friendship ❤❤ One so strong it can outlast anything even death!

[@PeaceIsWork]

They spout hate when you are alive and after your death they all claim they loved you

[@dinahwestallen]

Exactly!! Thats Jennie in a nutshell

[@sweets3745]

😢 ❤ from down Under 🇦🇺 one of my favourite humans I never met! My bedroom walls where covered in her from magazine's in the early 90s as young pre teen. I became a fan of charmed instantly because she was on it. She was so screwed over by so many people and situations yet she was still a beautiful soul. This one really hurts. It stings. I can't imagine what it's like for those closest to her. HMC your in my thoughts and to her Mum. Your loved. Thankyou for the Gift Of SD. ❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢

[@MarilynE-h3d]

Shannen was so gorgeous, talented, & kind. This is a beautiful tribute from a true friend 🌸

Shannen Doherty Was The Best Actress. I Feel Bad For Holly Marie Combs💔💔💔💔💔💔😢😢

[@freespirit_17]

😞 ditto

[@buckeyefangirl1976]

These two had a beautiful and very real friendship and "sistership" ♥️♥️. I remember when Shannen and Holly both were very young actresses and we watched them both grow into beautiful accomplished women and actresses. My daughter and I were hoping and praying Shannen would survive her battle. She certainly was a warrior. Both of us are very sad she is gone. It doesn't seem real. I watched Holly on her podcast and cried when she did. I know she's missing her sister friend so much. My condolences to her and her son who is Shannen's godson. To Shannen's mom, brother, her family, friends and fans. We were huge fans. Soar with the angels Shannen. You touched all our lives and will be missed so much.♥️💔😥

[@braknazwyjestgit]

We still love Shannen because she was a good person. Role model. Warrior.

[@frankiemillaire8040]

So terribly sad for you Holly my heart breaks hearing your cracking voice xxx Bless you x Yes she was loved

[@ashleykettner5093]

All the vilified women (mostly by media, others online) are the strong REAL ones. While the fakes spend their lives whining crying and playing victim card to public for $ and attention. This pattern always persists. Holly is a real one who always had her friend’s back. The emotion in her voice 💔

[@AbbaLovesUs]

Yes, I miss her. ❤

[@MaxCharmed]

Charmed forever

[@andreat3627]

You are so very missed, May your rest in eternal peace.

[@ThisGuysAnimation]

I hope this isn't misunderstood, but I can't accept that Shannon Dorothy is truly gone. I guess it's my deep love for *Charmed* keeps her alive in my mind. I constantly imagine all the ways Prue could have returned, with the endless possibilities of multi-universes and spiritual planes. Recently, I've been questioning the existence of God. If He exists, why would He let this happen to us? Maybe I'm not meant to understand the reasons, but I firmly believe Shannon's story isn't over. He can't be finished with her.

[@MalissiaCreates]

I still can’t understand or really believe and accept the death of my partner of several years dying suddenly on Easter morning. It’s natural to have moments of denial when we grieving, especially when we have videos of them alive and thriving. I watch the short films we made together and it’s like he’s still here. Love never dies.

[@devojka3721]

Exactly I don't accept this really unfair😢

[@CashUnlimited8]

You question God because someone that you didn’t know, from a show that you have an attachment to passed away? There are MANY tragedies in the world and we all have a date that HE will call us Home. I’m very saddened by her passing and I hope she’s resting in Paradise . I also hope that you are able to come to terms with the fact that real life exists outside of Charmed.

[@Kamo766]

May Shannen Doherty 💐 soul continue to rest in peace, 🕊️

[@djett3979]

I met Holly last year at FanX in Salt Lake City. I told her that I enjoyed watching her and Shannen in Off the Map. She said that they were hoping to do another one. You could see their special friendship.

[@randyhughes8450]

Shannen deserved better,If I was her husband I'll give my life and soul for her.To die without a mate besides her family and friends is a ultimate betrayal.I wish I can turn back time to prevent this.

[@tessax]

Shannen was the most talented, famous and beautiful actress in the world, Holly is the only one truly grieving Shannen because Holly was her true friend and sister…..Jennie is two-faced they were all jealous of Shannen, they need more Botox to cover up their fake persona because it’s showing and it stinks.

I've been listening to the podcast the last few days and am appreciating her so much more. I already liked her but knowing her side of a lot of the mistruths told about her that she never lowered herself to address make me love her so much more. As a cancer survivor myself I admire her perspective and work to give us a voice.

So sad. Some of us were very upset when she was killed off in Charmed it's like she died twice only this time it's permanent and there's no coming back this time 😭😭😭😭😭😭 her real life and Charmed role as Prue really did resonate with my big sister 💔 and as I hear about her troubled past and bad press I realized I can relate to her as well and how hard it is to rise above that. I can't even comprehend how hard this must be for Holy and Shannen mom 😔 Rest in peace, beautiful Angel

[@justinerebecca3567]

Jennie Garth using her death as an opportunity to promote her clothing or whatever tf she's schilling, is despicable, and it's no wonder shannen didn't like her or want her at her funeral. Dylan and Brenda 4ever.

[@a.e.7988]

Wonser!!??? schilling WTH. Please learn some grammar before you type. This is a disgrace!

[@Scene68]

Yeah, I find that to be very tacky. She should have had the decency to promote her QVC product way after the fact. Meshing the two is disgusting to me.

[@geekista]

Dont know much about media, but i think her clothing line promotion has been set up long before. It just happen to be right after Shannen's death,i think ?

[@allknowingoracle3277]

Yup Garth is as vile as Milano. Both self centred opportunists.

[@justinerebecca3567]

@geekista that's literally no excuse to combine the 2 topics. You focus on Shannen and that's it. If your products are that amazing, they will sell themselves. You don't use death as an opportunity to make a few dollars because you're irrelevant.

[@rosehiver6262]

I’m sure she knew how much people loved her and supported her during her battle. That’s the magic part of social media.

[@stormiewoods1490]

My heart hurts that Shannen didn't feel the immense love so many myself included had for her.

[@amystokes5784]

I still can't believe she gone. My heart breaks for all of us 💔😢

[@s.p.baughman7885]

Their chemistry was off on charts on Charmed. You can truly tell they were real life besties.

[@izl1104]

Shannen was someone I always looked up to. Had respect for her and was inspired by her confidence. And also could relate to her.

[@maryjomichele]

As a breast cancer survivor, this hits very hard. I was diagnosed in 2012. I still have fear about recurrence.

I know how it is to be misunderstood 😢.....Shannen was a fighter 💜🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾...such a great actress 💜.... Shannen definitely will be missed!!!!

[@reginagutierrez7627]

I still can’t believe she’s gone. Her passing has affected me like as if a family member has died. I have loved Shannen for years. I always felt she was given bad press to ruin and taint her reputation. I have disliked Alyssa and Jennie ever since. May she finally be pain free😢❤

[@Ciclopea2]

Loved Shannen and her talent and her strong, no BS type of character. That strength made her one hell of a warrior throughout her life and career, she didn't have to preach about it, you could see it. Everyone has their favorite shows with Shannen, but i even loved her when she hosted "Scare Tactics", she was perfect on that hilarious and brilliant show, another TV classic. She's one of those memories with a smile of my younger years, and an inspiration forever, RIP Shannen.

[@Katiemadonna3]

She was amazing!!!! All fans of Shannen knew was amazing, the fans adored and love her!!! RIP SHANNEN! WE LOVE YOU!!!!

[@mjrhappyfan13849]

It really sucks that she suffered that long, but she worked hard on trying to keep herself together and made something of herself before she went and didn't take it in to herself and she shared what she was going through. I think that's awesome and I'm glad you guys were still best friends

[@SavannahJ79]

All love and light to Holly, it's so tough being without your loved ones. I hope Shannen is able to "haunt" her in the most beautiful of ways xx

[@jstratus4]

We new the truth when she died we stand with Shannon.we love her till the end.she fought and to be honest she won a bunch of times.its ok for her to rest now.still gone to soon but what a beautiful legacy she left behind.

[@cornbredx]

While I didn't watch a ton of things Shannen Doherty starred in it's still really sad to me she died so young. She WAS still in things that I saw and loved (Heathers for example) and was a staple of TV in the 90s even if it was TV I didn't watch. It's truly sad that she is gone. I had no idea she was going through that. It's so awful how quickly we all disappear into time. At least now she has found peace- small comfort though it may be.

[@joffreyg7994]

Shannen made a lot of mistakes in her career but I always liked her. She was strong and very good. She deserved more imo.

I find it interesting that Jennie Garth would go on this media blitz about her QVC line around the time she is supposedly grieving. Why couldn't you have waited to do that? On top of that, when Luke Perry died, someone she truly loved, she never once did a public interview about his death until many months after. She should be ashamed. Life and art mirroring. I am sure Kelly wouldn't be as somber for Brenda. SMH...
