Former Disney actress Maitland Ward has revealed she hasn’t been in touch with her Boy Meets World co-stars since launching her porn career.

The 45-year-old initially pursued a career in acting with her first major role being Jessica Forrester on the CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful.

But the performer is best known for portraying Rachel McGuire in sitcom Boy Meets World, which ran on ABC for more than a decade.

The coming-of-age series follows Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) as he learns to cope with the pressures and anxieties of being a teenager as she grows up in the State.

After the show came to an end, Maitland picked up further acting gigs in films like White Chicks, before deciding to jack it all in for a career in porn.

Speaking on the Skinny Confidential Him & Her podcast, Maitland reflected on her life and career and spoke about whether she still hangs out with her Boy Meets World co-stars.

She said she had heard from three of her former colleagues amid her change of direction: Trina McGee-Davis, who played Angela Moore, Will Freidle, who portrayed Eric Matthews and creator Michael Jacobs.

Maitland explained: ‘Trina [McGee]… supported me in the beginning and Will has contacted me since then and says he supports me, but won’t watch anything that I do.’

She added: ‘The rest, I have not heard a word from.’

Maitland went on to say while she had communication with the rest of the gang, she hadn’t heard ‘Oh, you’re terrible’ from them.

‘But I kind of felt like I was just gone from them—like, we don’t want anything to do with you anymore. Especially, it was with the Girl Meets World thing. I was the only cast member not to be on the show,’ she continued.

‘And I wasn’t even doing porn at that time. I was just doing my cosplay and getting red-carpet pictures and doing that.’

Maitland previously said she felt her storylines in Boy Meets World were ‘sexual’ when discussing her stint on the drama.

She said in her memoir Rated X: How Porn Liberated Me from Hollywood: ‘There was always an undertone or innuendo — some joke that junior high boys might make as they compared d**k size next to their lockers.’
