The Clueless actress made a cameo in the video, while the Boy Meets World  star was just hanging out on set.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Donovan thought Fishel was excluded from the video because she didn&#8217;t want to be featured. In reality, Fishel said that her boybander boyfriend had just broken up with her after they attended prom together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I was so sad,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I think I also brought him our prom pictures to that shoot. Like, &#8216;Here&#8217;s your copies of our prom pictures. Are sure you want to do this?'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The podcast host said that their relationship had already been made public at this point. Meanwhile, Donovan revealed that she dated Joey Fatone &#8220;under the radar&#8221; during this time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Fishel said she remained &#8220;close to all of them&#8221; despite the split and even spent New Year&#8217;s Eve in Hawaii with NSYNC in 1999.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When Fishel and Bass began dating, the singer was still figuring out his sexuality. The Girl Meets World star said that their relationship ended after her prom night, when the singer came to the realization that they wouldn&#8217;t work. Years later, Bass <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/gallery\/coming-out-showbiz-timeline\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:came out;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">came out<\/a> as gay in a 2006 PEOPLE cover story.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;We loved each other. It was just platonic,&#8221; Fishel said.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Lance Bass\/Instagram Danielle Fishel and Lance Bass went to prom together in 1999\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"319\" height=\"480\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/30adc19c9a8f47dc3d862a92d0e415b4.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Lance Bass\/Instagram<\/p>\n<p> Danielle Fishel and Lance Bass went to prom together in 1999<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Sign up for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/forms.dotdashmeredith.com\/ew-tv-inline-offer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Entertainment Weekly;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Entertainment Weekly<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/forms.dotdashmeredith.com\/ew-tv-inline-offer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:&#039;s free daily newsletter;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">&#8216;s free daily newsletter<\/a>\u00a0to get breaking TV news, exclusive first looks, recaps, reviews, interviews with your favorite stars, and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The two remain close friends.

This can&#8217;t happen anymore.&#8217; This was the catalyst for me that made me start to accept myself, which took a long time after that, but that was definitely the first little straw that broke.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Listen to the full episode of Pod Meets World with Elisa Donovan below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read the original article on <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/danielle-fishel-recalls-going-to-nsync-music-video-shoot-after-lance-bass-breakup-11796978\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Entertainment Weekly;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Entertainment Weekly<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Danielle Fishel recently recounted hanging out with NSYNC after her short-lived romance with Lance Bass.
