Life as a teenage witch wasn't always magical for Melissa Joan Hart.

During a recent podcast appearance, the actress looked back on the time she was nearly "sued and fired" from her starring role on the '90s sitcom Sabrina the Teenage Witch after posing in her underwear for a Maxim magazine photo shoot, calling it "the worst day of my life."

Hart, 47, recounted the ordeal on the Boy Meets World rewatch podcast Pod Meets World. When hosts Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle, and Rider Strong referred to a photo of Hart posing with Britney Spears at the premiere of the 1999 teen rom-com Drive Me Crazy, Hart explained that she wasn't as smiley as she seemed: "If you look at my eyes, I'd been crying all evening."
