Melissa Joan Hart Recounts 1999 Night of Body-Shaming and Threatened 'Sabrina' Firing

She tells Betches' Picture Day the Scary Movie part went to Carmen Electra after a fitting that fixated on breast size.

Overview

  • Hart says a photo with Britney Spears at the Drive Me Crazy premiere shows her bloodshot eyes after what she calls one of the worst days of her life.
  • She recalls being en route to Vancouver for Scary Movie when she got a call saying she was off the film because she “didn’t have big enough boobs.”
  • Hart says her lawyer then informed her at the premiere that she was being fired from Sabrina, The Teenage Witch over her recent Maxim cover.
  • Reporting notes she ultimately kept her Sabrina role and continued working in television despite the threatened dismissal and the lost film part.
  • Hart also recounts declining a subsequent Playboy offer, citing the attention from the Maxim shoot and the impact on her family.
