Maitland Ward, the actress who played Rachel McGuire in Boy Meets World, recently appeared on the former costars’ podcast, Pod Meets World, along with Rider Strong and Will Friedle. The conversation quickly took a turn for the worse as she faced off with her longtime friend Danielle Fishel over a long-standing feud.
Ward expressed hurt and confusion after Danielle pointedly asked if she hated her co-stars, saying it felt like “Topanga” switched to “Regina George.” She also took issue with Danielle’s claim that she probably unfriended Maitland on Facebook without much thought, which made Maitland feel “really great” – implying a deep-seated hatred.
The argument centered around an incident in 2013 when Danielle allegedly unfriended Maitland on Facebook. Maitland also felt hurt by Danielle’s surprise at being invited to her 2006 wedding to husband Terry Baxter. The actress expressed frustration with how the conversation ended, stating she wouldn’t have attacked her friend like that.
Maitland Ward has since spoken out about the feud, saying it’s “sad” to her as well. She has not ruled out reappearing on Pod Meets World in the future to clear the air, but made it clear she won’t engage with Danielle in a similar way again.
