Melissa Joan Hart Reacts To 'Quiet On Set' Allegations
HuffPost
The former Nickelodeon child star said she hasn't actually seen the disturbing documentary yet.
Melissa Joan Hart is showing support for her former Nickelodeon colleagues amid the release of “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV,” an Investigation Discovery docuseries in which Drake Bell of “Drake & Josh” fame alleges he was sexually abused by a Nickelodeon dialect coach as a teenager.
Hart rose to fame as a Nickelodeon child star herself, and remains best known for “Clarissa Explains It All” and ABC’s “Sabrina the Teenage Witch.” Her appearance Thursday on the podcast “Meghan McCain Has Entered the Chat” makes her the latest Nickelodeon alum to speak out.
“No one’s come to me and talked to me about any of these situations,” she told McCain. “And that’s not to say anything about anyone’s story — I absolutely trust them, believe them 100% — but my experience was that I was in Orlando from 1989 to 1993 or 1994.”
Hart was 14 when she landed the starring role in “Clarissa,” and spent the next four years filming the sitcom while preparing for college. The actor told McCain she had a “wonderful” experience on set.
However, other former stars have said their experiences at the channel were very different. Bell alleged in “Quiet on Set” that Nickelodeon dialect coach Brian Peck sexually abused him during production of “Drake & Josh” in Los Angeles. Several network alums have spoken out in support of Bell.
