Melissa Joan Hart is expressing her regret after she revealed that she took a teenage Britney Spears to her first club.
Hart spoke to Entertainment Tonight on May 16 about her friendship with the popstar which developed after she appeared in the music video for her song “You Drive Me (Crazy).”
The former “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” star, who is six years older than Spears, said that she and the singer would often do press together and “had a lot of fun” at the time, which lead to a sisterly bond between the stars.
Hart recalled a time when she tried to get Spears out of her shell and join her and her friends at a nightclub, explaining, “I saw that she was just surrounded by people, never able to break free. And I was like, ‘Hey want to come?’”
“I would go to a club every night -- I love dancing and I loved going out, but I also knew to be responsible and, like, when to stop,” she added.
Hart noted that she should have known better than to invite Spears to the club with her and said it was a moment she still thinks “to this day.”
“She was underage and young and -- but I [was] just like, ‘Let’s go out. We’re just gonna go out and have some fun,’” Hart said. “And I feel really guilty about that still to this day because I should have known better, being a big sister.”
