Boy Meets World Stars Clash: Shocking Podcast Feud Revealed!

by

On the Pod Meets World podcast, Maitland Ward, who was famously known for Boy Meets World, had a nostalgic chat. However, the conversation took an awkward turn as she engaged in a disagreement with her previous castmate, Danielle Fishel.

In the ’90s, Boys Meets World was a beloved television sitcom that aired from 1993 to 2000. This show focused on the character Cory Matthews (played by Ben Savage) as he navigated the ups and downs of adolescence.

In 2022, actors from the iconic TV series, namely Danielle Fishel, Rider Strong, and Will Friedle, started a podcast called “Pod Meets World.” On this podcast, they discuss, analyze, and reminisce about the sitcom’s episodes, share behind-the-scenes stories, and talk with cast members and crew.

In the most recent installment, Rachel from The Maitland Ward sitcom is featured, who has moved into the field of adult films since then. During their extended discussion about this subject, the dialogue unexpectedly shifted when Fishel directly posed the question to Ward: “Have you grown to dislike us?

The duo engaged in a fiery exchange, with allegations such as: Fishel avoiding Ward during the set of Girl Meets World spinoff in 2015; Ward portraying them negatively to the media; the hosts expressing unfavorable opinions about Ben Savage and show creator Michael Jacobs; and Ward attempting to save their dispute for increased podcast listeners.

The situation became incredibly heated when it appeared as if Ward had departed from the show temporarily, only for her to reappear moments later, clarifying that her electricity had failed. Despite managing to carry on, the air remained thick with tension.

The discussion begins approximately at the 1 hour 7 minute point (taking ad breaks into account). At this juncture, Fishel poses a broader, general query: “Could I ask a more encompassing question – do you dislike us?

In a response, Ward clarifies, “I didn’t think you disliked me, as your silence on Girl Meets World made me feel that way. That was painful.” However, Fishel corrects him by saying she did speak to her, but Ward counters, “Well, we weren’t exactly talking much. You removed me from Facebook.

In 2013, when Fishel got married, Ward had sent her a message, but Fishel didn’t respond. It seems there was a miscommunication, as Fishel claims she doesn’t frequently use Facebook and thus didn’t notice the message.

Later on, Ward communicated the matter to Friedle, prompting Fishel to view the message and apparently feel upset, causing her to request Ward’s phone number from him.

She said to Will, “Will, could you kindly find out if it’s possible for me to get Maitland’s phone number so I can apologize to her?” He replied that they should wait and use it for their podcast instead, as it would boost ratings. This is what she explained.

In this case, Ward alleges that she acted deceptively, and explains that he believed the podcast episode was imminent, which is why he chose to postpone their conversation instead.

Additionally, Fishel implies that Ward criticizes the media by saying something along the lines of, “It appears that whenever our podcast makes headlines or is mentioned in the news, it’s followed closely by a TMZ interview. However, Ward claims that journalists track her down instead.

Discussions sometimes veer towards the 2023 disclosure that Savage has cut off communication with Fishel, Friedle, and Strong. Ward remarks, “I believe there’s a rift as well because you all seem to have negative feelings towards Ben and Michael.

They emphatically claim they don’t dislike either of them, but then Friedle interjects, “Ben is one of the most significant individuals I’ve encountered throughout my life, and it’s unbearable for me that we can’t communicate with him.

That’s exactly what happened: he stopped communicating with us. Over the past three years, I can provide you with a record of our messages, and during a conversation with Ben, he suddenly stopped responding out of nowhere. One day, without any warning or explanation, Ben made the decision that he no longer wanted me in his life.

Later on, Fishel stated that, just as she capitalized on publicity when Girl Meets World was in the news and found it beneficial for her career in cosplay and role-playing, she saw this conflict as another chance for her to generate media attention.

She states, “I’m simply not the one you can count on for that task. Furthermore, I found it insincere of you to contact me. To me, seeking to do it for statistics seems dishonest.

Reaction to Boy Meets World podcast episode

Despite varying responses to the intense conversation, numerous individuals have stepped forward to back Ward, asserting that she was taken aback during the podcast discussion.

On Twitter, someone posted, “Supporter of Maitland Ward wrote, ‘They invited her as a guest and caught her off guard. If Danielle doubted her sincerity about discussing issues on the podcast, then why invite her in the first place? More so when they continued to criticize her even after the conversation ended.’

Indeed, Danielle’s actions seemed very insincere and patronizing to many. Some even lost their respect for her due to this behavior. Another individual echoed these sentiments, stating that Danielle appeared unnecessarily harsh and reminiscent of a former mean girl who has grown older.

During the interview, she deceived Maitland as well. For instance, ‘I didn’t remove you from my Facebook friends list.’ Later in the interview, with just three minutes remaining, she acknowledged that it was plausible that she did indeed unfriend Maitland.

Other people found the argument to be trivial or merely a source of entertainment. As one individual put it, “Not being friends on Facebook shows how insignificant this disagreement is.

Someone stated, ‘I didn’t anticipate the Topanga versus Maitland Ward commotion to kick off my week, but boy oh boy, it’s quite a wild ride!’
