Maitland Ward, who made her name on the 1990s Disney-produced sitcom "Boy Meets World", says she enjoys more industry respect now that she has branched out into pornographic filmmaking.

Ward tells Fox News Digital, “I really think people treat me with more respect now, honestly, especially even in Hollywood right now. I’m pitching my memoir into a TV format and talking with people.

They’re so respectful, and they’re so positive about my story, especially younger people and different people that I speak to in Hollywood and stuff. They’re just much more receptive to the story. And I really feel like I have a lot of positivity around it. I’m able to create my own brand, my own content, the way I want to create it.”



“I’m creating full-length movies. I’m doing things like making projects that I really feel passionate about. I work with a female director, who has been amazing.

And I think people are always surprised by that, that two women are creating these long erotic, pornographic art pieces. And I think that’s really special.”

What happens when childhood memories don’t feel the same anymore?

This video isn’t about judgment or controversy. It’s about how nostalgia works, why perception changes over time, and what happens when the people behind our favorite childhood characters grow in directions we didn’t expect.
