Danielle Fishel got caught up in a “Boy Meets World” racism row in 2020 when Trina McGee, who played Shawn’s girlfriend, Angela Moore, claimed that she’d experienced prejudice while filming the ABC sitcom back in the 1990s and then again when she returned for its 2010s spinoff “Girl Meets World.”
McGee revealed she was labeled everything from “Aunt Jemima” to a “bitter b****,” repeatedly blanked and essentially treated “like a stranger” while filming the latter despite being a cast member for almost 60 episodes of its predecessor. Will Friedle later, who played Corey’s older brother Eric, later admitted to and apologized for calling her the racist term, while Fishel confessed to him being the most unwelcoming culprit.

In response to a tweet about the scandal, the actor posted, “I owed Trina McGee an apology for being rude, cold, and distant when she guest starred on GMW (her tweet regarding warm hellos being met with cold blank stares was about me).” Fishel also later told Insider that the cast, including McGee, are now closer than ever: “The things that have come out of those conversations, the tears that have been shed, the hugs that we’ve had, the closeness it has brought us, has been some of my favorite moments of the last several years.”
