Charmed: Madeleine Mantock Pushes Back: "People Are Ghoulish"

If you caught our report yesterday, ex-Charmed star Madeleine Mantock (Macy Vaughn) took to Twitter to offer some perspective on her departure from The CW series ahead of its fourth season. Noting that she was "incredibly dissatisfied, for lots of reasons" and that led to her departure, Mantock added that she "thought it better to withdraw because it wouldn't be appropriate" to speak out about those reasons and that "it was never suggested to me that I delete anything, or stop offering my opinions." Mantock wrote that she was "grateful to be finished," and that she hoped the cast & crew are "having a great time." Well, apparently something happened over the past 24-hours, and from what we're reading in Mantock's most recent tweets, it doesn't look like it was anything good.

"People are ghoulish," Mantock began in what would be a series of four tweets. Following that, she also leveled an accusation that apparently took place during the production of the series (though no specific details were offered): "Putting YOUR hands down a crew member's trousers, will make you the centre of an HR investigation and cost you your job."

From there, Mantock appears to push back on reactions to her initial tweets: "Bitterness and lies. I left there so I didn't have to put up with this nonsense." And though noting that she "shouldn't even have to defend my character," Mantock shared images of messages that were allegedly sent to her showing examples of how she was a positive influence on the set.

"I was trying: 'If you've not got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.' I was incredibly dissatisfied, for lots of reasons, and thought it better to withdraw because it wouldn't be appropriate, to be honest. Which is my default," Mantock wrote in the first of a two-tweet response yesterday to being asked if she was choosing to be silent or that the studio had some legal means to keep her from speaking about her departure. "It was never suggested to me that I delete anything, or stop offering my opinions. I am endlessly grateful to be finished and I hope they're having a great time xx."

Now here's a look at Mel (Melonie Diaz), Maggie (Sarah Jeffery), Harry (Rupert Evans), and Jordan (Jordan Donica) in the promo & episode overview for this week's S04E07 "Cats and Camels and Elephants, Oh My…":
