Following the death of actress Shannen Doherty, her mother, Rosa Doherty, has announced that she will continue her daughter's podcast, Let's Be Clear, in honor of her legacy. Shannen Doherty, best known for her roles in Beverly Hills, 90210 and Charmed, passed away on July 14 after a long battle with breast cancer.

In the latest episode of the podcast, Rosa Doherty reintroduced herself to listeners as the new host. "I want to thank you all for all the support, outpouring of love, and support that you've given Shannen over the years, and now for her family," Rosa said. She emphasized that the podcast was particularly meaningful to her daughter because it allowed her to share her story and truth. "This podcast meant so much to Shannen because it allowed her to tell her story and tell her truth," Rosa added.

Rosa also shared that continuing the podcast was a wish Shannen expressed before her passing. "I am now going to be doing my best to try to continue this for her, because that's what we discussed that she wanted me to do," Rosa said. Despite acknowledging that she could never fully replace her daughter, she expressed her commitment to keeping Shannen's memory and message alive: "I'm here for all of you, and I hope you're all here for me."

In the episode, Rosa introduced her first guest, Anne Marie Kortright, a close friend of Shannen's. The two discussed their shared grief and the challenge of maintaining the podcast. Rosa admitted that the process is overwhelming but expressed hope that it would become easier over time. "When I did it before, I was sitting across from Shannen, so right now it's a little overwhelming for me in that respect," she said.

Reflecting on her daughter's impact, Rosa stated, "Her legacy will be the love that she gave to everybody that she knew, and the love that she gave to the people she didn't know."
