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.

Maitland Ward revealed she feels more empowered and respected in her career as a porn star than she did as a television actress. “I really think people treat me with more respect now, honestly, especially even in Hollywood right now,” the “Boy Meets World” alum told Fox News in a recent interview.

One actress famous for her roles on Boy Meets World, and guest-starring on Home Improvement now feels that becoming an actress in the adult entertainment industry is much better than her previous career.

Six years ago, former Disney star Maitland Ward dipped her toes into the world of pornography, and she hasn’t looked back since.

Maitland Ward, who found fame while starring as Rachel McQuire in the later seasons of "Boy Meets World," opened up about her transition from child actress to adult film star.
