One long-standing Hollywood feud has come to an end! Despite having a rocky relationship in the early 2000s, Rose McGowan made amends with Shannen Doherty amid her ongoing cancer battle.
The Charmed co-stars were not chummy during their time working together with Rose revealing they were “pitted against each other” by TV execs and had a “funny history.”
“The men & brainwashed women in our business made it so we couldn't be friends, I regret that,” she wrote, including fan submitted art. “We were cast in this weird fake reality show where we were supposed to be enemies. I resented it greatly.”

In the long Instagram rant, McGowan also sent Doherty “strength” while she battles with breast cancer, which she was diagnosed with in February 2015.
Shannen has been documenting her treatment on social media step-by-step after revealing her cancer has spread to her lymph nodes.
"It's hard,” she said. “I started thinking that I wasn't going to live... I don't look past today. I don't know if I'll ever look like me again. I want to believe that if I fight, I'm gonna be OK.”
