The Truth About Melissa Joan Hart And Danny Masterson's Relationship

Though he was once known for his role on "That '70's Show," Danny Masterson is unfortunately better known for his sexual assault charges. According to US Weekly, five separate woman came forward in 2017 to accuse Masterson of sexual assault and misconduct. As of June 2020, the disgraced actor was charged with three counts of rape. 

Though Melissa Joan Hart dated Masterson before any allegations of rape, and prior to her memoir being released in 2013, what she wrote about her short-lived relationship with the disgraced star proves that Masterson has always treated women poorly. According to the TikTok user @celebritymemoirbookclub, Hart recalled how Masterson would push her into garbage cans as a means of flirting. "Being with him was also the first time I had hooked up with an aggressive, handsy guy, so I dressed in layers to make it more difficult for him to get what he was after," Hart wrote, per TikTok. According to Us Weekly, Masterson is slated to begin trial in August 2022 and faces up to 45 years in prison.
