Melissa Joan Hart Addresses ‘Quiet On Set’ Allegations: ‘I Absolutely Believe Them One Hundred Per Cent’

Melissa Joan Hart is the latest Nickelodeon star to address Quiet On Set, the Investigation Discovery docuseries that revealed alleged experiences of abuse, sexism, and racism on children’s TV shows from the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Hart, who starred in the Nickelodeon teen sitcom Clarissa Explains It All from 1991 to 1994, appeared on the Meghan McCain Has Entered The Chat podcast on Thursday, March 28, stating she “absolutely believes” the allegations even though she doesn’t have any personal horror stories.

“I don’t know other people’s experiences, and I’m not negating anything anybody else says. I’ve never been told these people’s stories that are in the [docuseries],” Hart said, per Deadline. “And I have to say, I’ve never heard a story from a Nickelodeon star personally; nobody’s come to me and talked to me about any of these situations.

She added, “I absolutely trust them, believe them, one hundred per cent.”

During her time with the network, Hart worked out of the Nickelodeon Studios based in Orlando, Florida. This studio closed permanently in 2005 after much of the production had moved to Nickelodeon Studios on Sunset in Los Angeles, California.

“In Orlando, I had nothing but a wonderful experience,” Hart added, noting, “They did work the kids a lot harder than they probably legally should. We had a ton of fun. It was just long hours, that’s all… because I had to do school and the show.”
