Maitland Ward joined the forged of Boy Meets World (accessible to stream with a Disney+ subscription) in Season 6 and has remained near some members of the forged. She’s even stated Will Friedle was “so supportive” of her profession transition into porn. As for Danielle Fishel, there was no love misplaced, and after an enlightening dialogue of Ward’s grownup movie profession on a latest episode of Pod Meets World, the actresses lastly aired their grievances, with Fishel kicking off the tense dialogue by asking point-blank:
Do you hate us?

Maitland Ward stated she felt slighted that Danielle Fishel had unfriended her on Fb after attending her marriage ceremony in 2006, and she or he ignored a Fb message she’d despatched Fishel congratulating her on her personal marriage ceremony and the spinoff. Ward continued:
However no, truthfully, you didn’t converse to me on the set of Lady Meets World, aside from, ‘Hello.’ I’ve no footage with you or something on that set, of Lady Meets World. Since you have been at my marriage ceremony and all the pieces, and I believed we have been pals.
Rider Robust and Will Friedle got here to Danielle Fishel’s protection when Maitland Ward recalled the fellows hugging her and being glad to see her when she visited GMW, declaring that that they had time to speak to Ward as a result of they weren’t working like Fishel had been. The alternate continued:
- Fishel: Sure, I used to be working. I used to be undoubtedly working.
- Ward: No, you had an perspective about it, although, as a result of I do know you. There was some beef between us, and I didn’t get it. And perhaps I picked up the incorrect alerts, however undoubtedly there was some type of weirdness there.
- Fishel: And so what did you assume it was?
- Ward: I didn’t know in any respect. I didn’t know when you thought I used to be making an attempt to return onto the set and take over, not take over however, like, attempt to steal consideration or one thing. However I didn’t know. I actually was very genuinely confused why we wouldn’t be good.
- Fishel: I don’t really feel as if I used to be not good with you, however I undoubtedly didn’t have a relationship with you, like, ‘Oh my gosh, my long-lost buddy Maitland!’ I used to be working.
Danielle Fishel went on to say Lady Meets World was “a really, very tough set,” and under no circumstances like they’d skilled on Boy Meets World. She known as it “tumultuous,” and bought validation from her former co-stars when she stated she felt ostracized and criticized. She stated she was sorry if that got here throughout as one thing private. Nonetheless, Maitland Ward wasn’t fast to simply accept the apology, saying:
Pay attention, you didn’t like the truth that I used to be getting lots of consideration at the moment and going off in my very own house and taking away that spotlight.
Danielle Fishel had one other bone to select with the grownup movie star concerning her feedback to the media about their podcast:
- Fishel: It looks like nearly anytime the podcast is within the information, within the press, there’s a shortly adopted up TMZ interview with you.
- Ware: Oh yeah, all people’s . Yeah, they at all times wish to know.
- Fishel: How do these occur, by the way in which?
- Ware: As a result of they arrive and get me. They discover me on the streets.
- Fishel: Oh my gosh. I don’t know if I’ve ever been discovered on the road.
- Ware: Are you making an attempt to accuse me of utilizing you? Are you making an attempt to accuse me of one thing?

- Ware: They’re not stopping me exterior of my home.
- Fishel: OK. I don’t know the place they’re stopping you. I used to be simply questioning, as a result of it hasn’t occurred.
- Ware: It’s an awfully massive concern for you proper now.
The charged dialog continued with Danielle Fishel principally saying she’d tried to have this dialog in personal however that Maitland Ward needed to do it on the podcast for scores, or as Ward allegedly put it, to “rock the stats.” Ward countered that she thought Fishel’s needs to succeed in out to her privately have been disingenuous.
I don’t assume it may be stated that the 2 essentially discovered frequent floor, however they did appear to no less than hear one another out and have been ultimately in a position to get again on monitor to speak about Boy Meets World.
We’ll must see if this dialogue can function the top of the actresses’ beef with one another, or if this heated dialog was simply one other footnote within the Boy Meets World drama.
