Former 'Boy Meets World' Actress Accuses Disney of Treating Female Stars as Sexual Objects

Maitland Ward, who played Rachel McGuire on Boy Meets World, has called out Disney for requiring young female stars "to be sexual" during the late '90s and early 2000s. The actress, who has previously discussed being "sexualized" on the show, claims that the issues mainly came from the "Disney machine" and not the cast members. Ward also recalled being asked to try on lingerie for the show's producers multiple times and attributes these encounters to Rachel being the character who most frequently removed her clothes on the show. Despite the issues, Ward still remembers her time on the show as an "innocent time" with a cast that was "very much family."
