Melissa Joan Hart has publicly apologized for off-color comments she made about terminally-ill actress Farrah Fawcett.

According to Wednesday’s edition of The NY Post, the former star of television’s Clarissa Explains It All and Sabrina, The Teenage Witch was recently verheard remarking that she hoped Fawcett “didn’t die and cost her” the cover spot on last week’s issue of PEOPLE Magazine – the actress was photographed showing off her slender new figure on last week’s issue.

Melissa quickly took to her blog to clarify herself:

“It has come to my attention that something I said has been completely misconstrued in the press,” Melissa wrote Wednesday. “I was merely explaining what I had read about how the cover of People magazine was chosen… I truly hope that Farrah and her family know I wish them the best at this time in her life. And that I would never be so selfish to disrespect anyone, let alone someone I admire greatly.”
