I Felt Pressure to Be Sexy: Boy Meets World Star on Growing & Sexploitation in Hollywood.

 

Danielle Fishel aka "Topanga Lawrence" REVEALS the real reason she nearly quit BOY MEETS WORLD!

 

She opens up in the MBB studio about facing body image issues and the pressures of objectification while she was underage, what it was like to have global pop star Lance Bass from NSYNC as her first serious boyfriend, and how chasing validation led her to perfectionism.

 

Danielle discusses why BOY MEETS WORLD holds such a nostalgic feeling for all of us (& did you know she didn’t originally get the role of "Topanga"?!?!), how fame affected her friendships in school, her divorce, and getting into therapy after her first marriage ended.

 

She also shares how her background in psychology led her to realize the importance of being established in who you are before you begin a healthy adult relationship.

 

TUNE IN to MBB today to hear the full convo!
