When Playboy got here calling, the “Clarissa Explains it All” star put her foot down and said no.
“I was like, ‘I can’t do it,’” Hart recalled. “I can’t do it, and they supplied me a lot of money, and I used to be like, ‘I can’t do it because I don’t need my brother to be damage by that, just like the last factor he wants. He’s already getting tortured by me and underwear, let alone utterly.’
She continued, “And I would have been willing to do it because I was like, I’m not ashamed of my body. I’m proud of my body. I’m fine with that. But then I’m really glad I didn’t because now I have three boys and I don’t need those images out there for them.”

Hart had some instinct that her choice at the time would impression her future.
She famous she was “kind of happy I made that choice for my brother, which then also translates to my children.”
Hart married musician Mark Wilkerson in 2003, and later welcomed three sons, Mason, Braydon and Tucker.
“I always kind of knew that that would be a correlation, that someday, I would have children that would you know, what do I want them to see?,” she said. “And I kind of played that through my siblings’ eyes, so, I feel like I also was raised by these hippie parents who were growing their own pot in the garden.”

She added, “My mom once told me, she was like, ’You know, I did all the drugs. You don’t have to. They’re not worth it.’ And I was like, ‘OK, great, that sounds like … I like that, like I take your word for that. I don’t need it.’”
Hart beforehand told Fox News Digital that she tries to restrict self-imposed stress as a working mother-of-three, but she’s only human and “mom guilt” is real.
“That’s the thing about my job; I get to be a full-time parent when I’m not working,” she said. “But mom guilt, I think, is real; parent guilt is real across the board, I think, no matter what you’re doing.”
She added, “I do strive to look at the blessing of the fact that I get to be home, driving them to college [or] be there for their birthdays. I’m making sure I’m home for Halloween this 12 months. I didn’t get to be at homecoming, so there’s sacrifices. But then I get to work utterly, too. Right now I’m completely immersed in this film I’m doing, and I’m getting full time to focus on that. And then I’ll go home and have full-time mommy time.
“It’s this weird balance that always, you know, you’re never sure if you’re getting it right, but I think that’s just parenthood.”
