Melissa Joan Hart turned down Playboy after seeing her family's reaction to her Maxim cover. The 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch' actress is grateful she made that decision.
Melissa Joan Hart shocked fans this summer when she revealed she was nearly fired from 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch.' The actress admitted a cover shoot with Maxim magazine, which featured her at age 23 mostly naked beneath a bedsheet, created such a controversy she was told she was in breach of contract . Although the issue was resolved after Hart wrote an apology letter , the actress says the situation led her to turn down Playboy magazine. It was a choice she made to protect her family.
My brother in high school, all his friends go, ‘Look at your sister.’' She recalled that her brother and father questioned why she chose to do the cover. 'So, when Playboy came around and asked, I was like, 'Nah. I'm not going to do that to them.' And thank God, because now I have boys,' she said of her three sons with her husband of 20 years, Mark Wilkerson. 'My siblings have always been my sort of, my guiding light.
Now I'm so glad I didn't because I have a very conservative husband who would probably not have even looked at me twice if he knew that that's, you know, the kind of girl I was or that's what I was doing,' she revealed.
