Sarah Jeffery Has a Message for 'Charmed' Reboot Critics: 'Let's Be Kind With Our Opinions'
Sarah Jeffery is speaking out to defend her new CW reboot series Charmed.
The Descendants actress took to Twitter on Saturday (May 26) to share a message that everyone needs to hear.
“I’M ONLY GOING TO GO HERE ONCE,” she began. “I fully understand how dear the OG Charmed is to many. For very, very good reason. We are so beyond grateful to have the opportunity to bring this reboot to life and bring current, timely themes to the forefront of a show that stars not one, not two, but THREE WOC!!! We regard the foundation that was laid with great respect.”
“But, when my character is challenged, when there is futile yet harmful noise about how we are either incapable or doomed, I will vociferously defend myself and my sisters,” she continued. “The original Charmed will always stay very much intact and will always be widely respected. I invite you to come on this journey with us to discover more stories within the universe. I also respect your declination. But please, let’s show up for one another in favorable ways and be kind with our opinions.”
“I know our show will have a positive effect on so many women, youth, and anyone who is receptive to being on the right side of history,” she finished.

I will bite my tongue until my character/persona is challenged. No. You do NOT get to make calls about my ethnicity. You do not get to sweep my 7 YEARS of consistent work in this industry under the rug. We are fully capable and we are here. @Charmed_Oddity https://t.co/sQLqZLCJjz
