Boy Meets World alum Maitland Ward isn’t over her contentious appearance on the latest episode of series rewatch podcast, Pod Meets World.

In fact, she feels the heated discussion between herself and former costars (and the podcast’s hosts) Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle, and Rider Strong was “orchestrated.”

To recap, the episode, which was the first to feature a warning to listeners about “adult language and subject matter,” took an uncomfortable turn towards the end, when Fishel asked Ward, “Do you hate us?” and brought up comments Ward had made about the podcast in the press.

“No, I do not hate you,” Ward said. “I think that you hate me because you wouldn’t speak to me on Girl Meets World, and that was hurtful.” A tense back-and-forth mostly between Fishel and Ward about various perceived slights over the years ensued, but the conversation eventually cooled, and Fishel made it clear that she didn’t hate her former costar “not even the slightest,” before offering to have her on the podcast again sometime.

“I do think it was orchestrated,” Ward said about her former costars in an interview with The New York Post. Ward first joined the beloved sitcom in 1998 during its college years, at the beginning of season 6. She stayed with the series through its conclusion in season 7. According to Ward, she was closest to Friedle on set, and he was the one who kept encouraging her to do the podcast, promising her it would “be so much fun.”

“If he knew this was gonna happen like this and didn’t give me any warning about it, that really sucks. That really, it’s just a betrayal that way from him,” she said, adding that now she feels like “I can’t trust that he would ever watch out for me in a situation or have my back.”

Ward added that she would have liked a heads-up. “If I was told, ‘Listen, Danielle wants to really hash this out ahead of time,'” she said. “Because on the show, I was not starting anything with her. I was not going to start anything big with her. We were just going to have conversations.”

“I thought, as we got into the show, it was weird that she wasn’t bringing anything up even in conversation,” she continued, “like, ‘Hey, let’s talk about this. We might have had some bad times in the past. What were your feelings? And what were my feelings? And we can both apologize and talk it out.'”

Ward also had an issue with Fishel bringing the conversation up at the end of the episode, telling the outlet, “I thought the show was winding down at that point. And I think she wanted to catch me off guard. She wanted to try to rattle me, and she did. I didn’t expect it.”

Boy Meets World ran for seven seasons on ABC from 1993-2000.
