Maitland Ward highlighted the difference between her “Boy Meets World” salary and her OnlyFans income.
In Monday’s episode of “Hollywood Demons: Child Stars Gone Wild,” the actress recalled (via Us Weekly) making “$20,000 or $25,000” per episode playing Rachel McGuire on the hit Disney Channel show.
The 49-year-old noted, however, that acting didn’t give her “all the guarantees” as she could be “fired” at any point.
Ward contrasted this career to her work on OnlyFans, which brings in “six figures a month.”
“I am creating this brand,” the former adult film star pointed out. “I can make it go for as long as I want it to go.”
Ward, who was apart of “Boy Meets World” for two seasons, also played Jessica Forrester on “The Bold and the Beautiful” for three years.
In 2019, she pivoted to the adult film industry and launched an OnlyFans account.
Ward released her memoir, “Rated X: How Porn Liberated Me From Hollywood,” three years later.
Over the weekend, she spoke to Fox News Digital about how “free” she feels pursuing this alternate path.
“My story is multifaceted,” she explained. “It’s really a story of self-discovery and finding who you are as an authentic person in any way that you want to.”
Elsewhere in the interview, she blasted the “Hollywood machine” for viewing her as “product” early in her career.
“Back when I was getting into it … they looked at these young actors as like property coming in,” Ward said of the industry’s “twisted male gaze.”
She added, “Women were just put into this box where you had to be this young woman that was either a virgin and a slut all at once. And I hate to use those terms exactly, but that’s what it was.”
Last year, Ward made headlines for telling the same outlet she has been given “more respect” by the public working the porn industry than as a mainstream actress.
“I really got a lot of positivity overall, which shocked everyone I knew,” Ward said. “Everybody thought people were just going to rip me apart, and I was going to be judged and raked across the coals.”
