Boy Meets World’s Original Topanga Actress Recalls Being Fired

Television

Before there was Danielle Fishel, there was Bonnie Morgan.

The Rings actress recently opened up for the first time about being cast and subsequently fired from Boy Meets World after one day of production, which her alleging her quick tenure on the sitcom came down to a decision from director David Trainer.

On a June 26 episode of the podcast Pod Meets World, co-hosted by Fishel and fellow Boy Meets World alumni Rider Strong and Will Friedle, Morgan explained the reason she was given for her firing, saying, “The director said I couldn’t take direction, which is one thing I had never been accused of.”

However, she says she soon learned that wasn’t the case.

It came out very quickly to my agent that the director didn’t think I was pretty enough,” the contortionist and stunt performer continued. “Literally, did not think I was pretty enough. So that meant that a grown up, a man, a boss, could lie about me and tell me I was untalented because the fact was, he didn’t think I was pretty.”
