Melissa Joan Hart dismissed rumors that she ever had “beef” with Lena Dunham — noting that the two have never even met.
via Page Six:
“I’m a fan of Lena’s work and all that she does to support females in our industry and hope to share a latte someday,” the “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” alum, 46,wrote on Instagram on Friday.
“Please be careful not to get caught up in the hateful rhetoric of these sites that promote division and spew crap to make a profit.”
Hart pointed out that she was only addressing these rumors because she had “numerous friends” ask her about the alleged rivalry.
The “Melissa and Joey” alum also posted screen shots of what was submitted to the blind items Instagram account Deuxmoi.
One the posts claimed that Anjelica Huston — who worked alongside Hart in Lifetime’s “The Watcher in the Woods” — said some “very nasty things” about Dunham, 36, at a party once, likely because of her friendship with Dunham’s “enemy.”
Another post claimed Hart and Dunham had been “frenemies for a long time,” claiming they somehow knew each other because the “Not That Kind of Girl” author’s father was friendly with the creator of Hart’s kids show, “Clarissa Explains It All.”
“The dinner party fight about child drag queens was just one piece of the puzzle,” the source alleged. “Melissa has a knack for alienating people in her life — they disappear like magic.”
Hart wrote on her Instagram in response, “We have no ‘beef’, and as far as I remember we haven’t even had the pleasure of meeting let alone having enough of a relationship to warrant any time to discuss drag queens.”
The mother of four added, “I’m a fan of Lena’s work and all that she does to support females in our industry and hope to share a latte someday.”
If Melissa DID have a problem with Lena, she certainly wouldn’t be the first — or the only one.
