Join UsIn a shocking turn of events, actress Trina McGee Davis went public with allegations of racism, verbal abuse and downright ugliness during her three years on the Boy Meets World set. The actress joined the show in Season 5 as a love interest for Rider Strong’s character, Shawn Hunter, joining the cast as a series regular the following season. She also became best friends with Danielle Fishel’s Topanga. While the show was all hugs and family and love while the cameras were rolling, Trina paints a different picture behind the scenes.
In a series of tweets first published in January that have been resurfaced recently in the media, the actress alleges among other things that she was called “Aunt Jemima” on set, a “bitter bitch” and “told ‘it was nice of you to join us’ like a stranger after 60 episodes.”
As her followers began to engage with her tweets, Trina clarified a few facts. She declined to name names at this time, despite multiple attempts by her fans to get her to do so, but did say that they were the main actors on the show and that they were the ones included on the poster.
“At times the tension of the disrespect was extremely stressful,” she tweeted. “25 yrs old at the time raising a family and did not deserve to be thinking about this. None of those three colleagues had children. Just cowardly egos and hot diarrhea mouths.”Several times she made comments to the fact that she would like the three unspecified actors to come forward of their own volition and admit to their poor behavior. “They should be a light and own up to it,” she tweeted. “Sad and sick behavior.”

Called aunt Jemima on set during hair and make up. Called a bitter bitch when I quietly waited for my scene to finish rehearsing that was being f’ed up over and over due to episode featuring my character. Told “ it was nice of you to join us” like a stranger after 60 episodes

I did my job and I expect my due. At times the tension of the disrespect was extremely stressful. 25 yrs old at the time raising a family and did not deserve to be thinking about this. None of those three colleagues had children. Just cowardly egos and hot diarrhea mouths.

One reply was that calling me Aunt Jemima was the same as calling me The Jolly Green Giant. Just a fictional food character. I could care less what people call me until the vibe starts to block coins. This is the difference between prejudice and racism.

Trina did reprise her role in one episode of the recent “Girl Meets World” spinoff series, sharing a single scene with Rider.
