So Much Drama‘Descendants’ Alum Sarah Jeffery’s Feud With the Original ‘Charmed’ Cast Explained

The feud started in 2018 after Holly, 46, sent an initial message wishing the new cast well via Twitter in 2018, she also warned the CW not to “even think of capitalizing on our hard work.”

“Charmed belongs to the [four] of us, our vast amount of writers, crews and predominantly the fans. FYI you will not fool them by owning a title/stamp. So bye,” the Pretty Little Liars alum wrote at the time.

Now, two years later, Holly and Rose claimed the reboot “sucks” in a viral video after their version of the series was removed from Netflix.

“I haven’t seen it, I can’t say that. I’ve never seen it,” Rose, 47, added. “I’m happy that people have jobs. But it can still suck.”

After the video of Holly and Rose went viral, Sarah responded in a series of Twitter posts on October 12.

“You know, I saw this earlier and I refrained from saying anything. I thought, better to just let them shout into the abyss. But I do want to say, I find it sad and quite frankly pathetic to see grown women behaving this way,” the actress wrote. “I truly hope they find happiness elsewhere, and not in the form of putting down other WOC. I would be embarrassed to behave this way. Peace and love to y’all.”

Once she caught wind of Sarah’s reply, Holly seemingly hit back without calling out the actress by name.

“That’s some bullshit. And a lot of it. Clearly,” she posted to Twitter on October 13. “People speaking, excuse me typing, derogatory accusations of a person’s character despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary because of a difference in opinions about a TV show is just plain wrong. And also personal gain honey.”

In a separate message, Holly added, “There’s more important things happening in the world. Carry on.”

Instead of replying to the apparent shade, Sarah recounted a moment “pre-COVID” when her dad met another original Charmed alum, Shannen Doherty, and wished the cast well.

“He told me she was so kind, thrilled for us, and excited to take a picture. She sent her love,” Sarah wrote alongside the photo of her dad and Shannen.

Rose also hit back at Sarah’s claims in an Instagram Stories post on October 15.

“Absolutely nothing to do with race, that’s quite a stretch you took,” she wrote. “I’m beyond glad any WOC has a well paying job. Hell yes to that. I’m sure you are a great actress.”

After Rose responded via Instagram Stories, The Originals and The Vampire Diaries alum Phoebe Tonkin praised Sarah on Twitter for standing up for herself.

“I am so inspired by your class and elegance. I myself have been on a show that has been rebooted (not a few years after I filmed it!) and was nothing but excited and proud of the next generation of Mermaids to experience the world of H20,” she posted on October 15, 2020.

Sarah responded and thanked Phoebe for her support, saying, “It must have been so lovely for the cast of the H20 reboot to have your support as well — THAT is classy and elegant xx.”

Fellow former Charmed star Shannen, shared her reaction to the reboot with an October 15, 2020 statement to EW.

“What’s old is new … and I think it’s wonderful a new generation can connect with three strong, powerful women, not to mention the many jobs the show provides,” the actress said.

In June 2022, Sarah told E! News that she understands where the animosity from the original cast and crew is coming from. “I’ve heard through the grapevine that there was there are some feuding going on and I understand because it’s such a beloved show, so I’ve known from the beginning that there would be fans and people who were protective of the original show,” she said.

She also explained her disappointment to end the reboot with season 4, as they were hoping to close out the series on season 5 — with an OG cast cameo, too! “I would have loved to have the OGs come and play if they wanted to,” she said. “I would have been honored to have them and just make it a full circle moment. And I hope that the fans would have appreciated that as well.”
