This is soooo messed up. As a Black woman who grew up loving this show, if definitely gives me a bad taste in my mouth about this show/ cast.🤦♀️🤦♀️😔😔😔😔
Trust me I felt the same way as you till I dig into every interview and what not. And figured out it's her she's just not a good person she contradicts herself and she didn't try to get along with the crew. She even has said in interveiws that she thought she was a better actress and she deserved more then what most of the game they got in most of the bloopers she's a lot of the times the only one not laughing. She even mentioned she say that they were out getting money for going back to the new series and she didn't like that so she started talking about all the stuff she went through. She not an host good person and I feel like no 1 got along with her
@@jonjase7962 Keep"digging" because they admitted they treated her badly. Stop making excuses for bad, ugly behavior. This shows their true character and they continued to act that way as adults until they were called out! Stop trying to blame the victim. It's not working.
@@terrim8928 no they admitted they said stuff that they didn't know would be considered bad. Which was the one joke will told her and the one comment the lady that place tapanga said. But everyone one seems not to like her. Why is it that sometimes the whole cast and producers not like someone and why is it she doesn't really get along with any of them also she literally said in a recent interview that they are not bad ppl they are just white ppl misinformed and she said they are not racist as well but she did say they all annoyed her and she doesn't talk to any of them and that that all are just rude and by all she ment cast and most of the crew. She literally was throwing shade saying that they don't deserve there fame and she deserves it more because of her back round and acting in her past projects. I'm sorry but like I said I was hurt when she first came out but she's slowly changed my mind about it just by listening to everything else she's said in other interviews. She literally said the only reason she came out and even mentioned it was because she say they were on TV making money and she didn't like it.
@@jsta9713 you're so right about that! I never understood why people were so secretive about their age. I'm in a similar situation as Trina. I'm almost 40 and look like I'm in my 20s. People are shocked when they find out how old I am. It's always such a funny reaction. But I'm grateful.
No it doesn’t. Not to that extent. I never had it like that either. Depends on where you are. But I won’t lie at times; it was awkward but I have been in all black workplace and felt out of place too. I’m just different.

After hearing her and seeing lots of cast interviews and bloopers I really think she's sour and she went in there thinking they were gonna praise her and with some attitude and not clicked with her and it is what it is.
She reminded me of a younger Josephine Baker on "Boy Meets World".. Not because of how she acted, she has a similar look to Josephine Baker, both are very beautiful women. 😍 Lovely 😍 ❤
Honestly filmography wise Trina is the most decorated and steadily working actor. Then Rider Strong. I haven't seen Will in much, Danielle, only seen her in the boy meets world shows and 1 episode of full house. Ben savage, haven't seen him in anything other than boy and girl meets world. Trina is a working successful actress.
Trina's filmography is nothing to speak of. She's basically appeared on things as "Girl #3" She had a connection in the business that got her all these small spots but nothing significant other than Boy Meets World in her late 20s. The others hit it big as young actors at like 11 years old so obviously they weren't in that much. Trina is definitely the least successful out of all of them though and its not even close. That's why she first came out with these racism claims because she was jealous of the others having being successful and wealthy while she was unsuccessful, bitter, and broke.
I remember Danielle being in some American Pie or Nation Lampoon spin-offs I think........one of the weird ones, nothing memorable. Only things I remember Will for are being Ron Stoppable and Terry McGinnis. The rest I remembered being in nothing until the Girl Meets World spinoff happened.
Crazy . I most say I did watch the show until the end . But I don’t stay for any type of racism . I’m a Latin woman and I face racism my self . I’m sorry for what you went through. Thank you for sharing your story❤
Ive loved her characters throughout the years. She’s seriously one of the most beautiful people in the industry. I’m so glad she’s been using her voice. Thank you for sharing this!!
Ben didn't apologize because he knows she's not worth his apology. She's drama and toxic. The others wanted to cover their behinds. She's probably trying to extort them for more money so she's starting to tell these stories again.
@@marksommers4179Ben the pdf file should be in prison with his uncle Harvey. You and them are one and the same so why would anyone care what you think?

Oh sorry it's "drama" to expose discrimination and racist behavior. Just another ignorant person who doesn't want to hear about any negative history 🙄 and likes to live in Denial River. Keep living in ignorance while we ADULTS live and deal with the real world and it's real problems. She made that show more successful and deserves respect just like all the others but of course there's "those type of ppl" who are gonna just call it drama 🤡 and don't worry we know exactly why you are the way you are.
@@marksommers4179 why is is that when black people share their experiences, that is where people like you see the problem? It’s never an issue with how black people are treated with you all, it’s always how black people respond to being mistreated that y’all take issue with.

I didn't really hear anything specific besides the Jemima comment. It seems like she had preconceived notions about white people and was looking for them to be racist
trina was honestly the cutest one. she easily could have played roles of being royal, while i don’t necessarily see topanga playing any princess roles, she gives more girl next door who cuts class to pda in the staircase with her boyfriend. trina was an IT girl, fr✨
I always remembered how beautiful she was, (and still is) it's such a shame she went through that. Her cast mates never gave it a second thought,nir would there have been an apology if she didn't mention it sooo many years later. There is power in our words,!
I was born in ‘87, grew up watching this show, LOVED IT- so many life lessons. But I connected on a whole new level when Angela joined the cast- so from a biracial girl born in Detroit, who moved to an ALL white area in 1st grade, I was SO THANKFUL to have beautiful black women like her to look up too. I know she went through a lot, but I appreciate so much her diversity to the cast❤
Woah she's a year younger than my mom , and I'm gagging because if you have them stand side by side you would never know that they are technically the same age. I mean wow this girl was born in the late 60s and she looks freaking amazing!!!
the 90's werent so good as far as treatment of anyone who wasnt white . im mixed race (cape verde/white) and even i had it bad plus being gay also. talk about social anxiety that no medicine can ever treat or cure. now im 40 and still deal with the triggers that bring up those feelings. ignorant people scare me.
She was treated worse in Girl Meets world. Tapanga didn't even exchange words with her and Cory only said one word. They wanted to make her character look like nothing .How sad a character who gave so much. She changed Shawn's life. How RUDE . No respect for a great character. She is still beautiful, more beautiful than before. The best revenge she had was that Girl Meets World was not as successful as Boy Meets World.
Wow she’s from Riverdale that’s crazy 😭 I’m from the ghetto side of Yonkers which is right next to Riverdale it’s like once you leave the ghetto you get to this nice little area and she’s right it’s beautiful there small little town with their own schools and colleges you would never think your in the Bronx 😂😂
God is a great record keeper. Trina is living well and looks great. Karma is crazy, because rumor has it the girl that played Topanga is sick. So let people stay racist, evil, narcissistic whatever because life will hit em for being just that.
She was Diagnosed breast cancer. karma is a bitch what comes around comes around. sad none of the cast members of the people who worked behind the camera stood up for her.
All these apologies 20+ years from her costars are meaningless. There only apologizing because of the social climate and fear they won't get another acting job if they didn't. They even let her off the promo picture. They only said they're sorry because they were confronted and not because they actually changed
That’s what I’m saying! What did it profit them. Look at their careers now. Nobody is hiring them. What jobs did they get by acting like that. It was wrong then just like it is now. They could’ve apologized at any point before now. And the producers are guilty too ans shouldn’t get away either.
I started watching the show because of her and I'm black I was a teenager at the time and I still watch that show. I can't believe they did that to her SMDH 🤔
She's a liar. The thing she told about Ben was clearly something he was doing as a joke and its funny if you have a sense of humor. Trina always had this huge ego as if Boy Meets World was her show though. She has talked about how these younger kids "didn't respect her" she wanted them to fall at her feet because she was older basically. She acts like she was a decorated actress but was completely unknown before Boy Meets World.
@@marksommers4179nothing was funny about any of those “jokes” ppl always want to do BS and then say oh it was a joke. Lies from the pits of hell but we all have to answer to the same creator. What would be her motivation to lie on Ben the pdf file 😂😂 yeah the Open Secret revealed him and his brother’s true colors long ago, but I’m sure you don’t want to talk about that. PDF file, racist is just some of the descriptors that fit here but yeah she’s the liar.
@@Queenofdacastle The documentary you're speaking of was made to highlight child and teen actors who were abused by adult Hollywood agents, producers, etc that were 40+ years old. The documentary was very clearly showing a young teen getting groped by an older man. But by all means victim blame and accuse victims of crazy things because you're too stupid to understand such a simple thing.
I've watched a different world dozens of times and I remember that scene with her remembering saying she looked so familiar.. WOW.. It's really horrible she went threw that.. stay blessed 😊
😢 ugh heart breaking to know that’s how they treated her and I adored Angela and Sean . Well guess we can’t be surprised that’s how it was. But gosh I hope Sean didn’t treat her that way too! I wouldn’t have even been able to act properly if that was me
I like Trina. This story has been told multiple times at this point and a few of the guilty parties apologized(cept Ben Savage but those boys were known for being jerky). Wheres the growth? She was an adult black actress on a mostly white cast show with co-stars about a decade younger than her in the 1990s...what shes telling is not surprising.
I’m black and I went through the same ish back in the day. I think it was due mostly to the lights back then weren’t used to people outside of their race in their spaces. I mean back then they were center of attention and culture revolved around them.
Come on now she was the only black actress on the entire show, that should tell you something, that in the boy meets world universe Angela was the only black person Corey knew wth
@@ddoubleu170 Some representation? The programming block was filled with black TV shows. You could see black actors on every channel. God forbid a show didn't have one. I never put on Moesha and asked where her white friends were.
Wasn't Kim z the only white cast member on real housewives of Atlanta and got choked out by nene and called a who're throughout her run on the show? And nene sued due to Kim being racist yet she never said the N word yet been called her white B**ch all the time
@@marksommers4179they must have representation even if it’s fake. There’s plenty of places where only white populations are or one or two black people etc. your comment is spot on! If they hated her, she wouldn’t have worked at all…easier to play victim than just own she’s insufferable!
And that was the problem the lack of diversity was obvious. Whites and blacks were still being separated 🙄 so you just proved their point. 👍 Of course they're gonna compensate by making shows catered to black people if white people are obviously not interested in diversity in their shows. 🤷🏻♀️ But I'm glad TV has grown since and shows are now more integrated with all races.
While not happy about Ms. McGee's treatment on Boy Meets World, I am happy that the different cast members grew up and realized they were wrong. More importantly, they apologized.
Wow they basically created her character as the token “black” girl smh. Thanks for social media platforms for disclosing backstories of childhood sitcoms, movies etc behind the scenes. It breaks my heart that this information leaves a bad impression and can’t watch Boy Meets Worlds in a good light 😥 On her brighter note Trina looks AMAZING 🥰
@@marksommers4179 Did you even watch the video???? The other cast members were mean to her and due to fact that they were mean to her she didn’t have a good experience. Usually when it’s a predominantly white cast it’s always protocol to have a “black” character which is considered a token black character to have diversity or lack there of. They do the same thing in the work field, they hire a minority for diversity when it’s a predominantly white setting
I still go back in time to watch the episodes I Love You Donna Karan and Chasing Angela Angela made me keep watching. Trina makes me go back and rewatch!
Could you imagine having to maintain professionalism whilst being degraded and mistreated by a co-star that you are in an on-screen relationship with smh.
That her coworkers publicly apologized is wonderful and likely healing. Most of us don’t get that and I’m glad she did. I’m sure it healed them too. As a Haitian, I’m annoyed at how some of our men just go on and create other families. Shame on him for not meeting her until she was 40.
Yeah you could really feel her and Ben Savage did not get along. When you watch the show you can feel that energy carry into the acting. So I was not surprised when she said he was like that. It's sad because she deserved to be treated with kindness and respect.
Unfortunately, I'm not surprised to hear this. I'm happy that some of the cast has taken accountability for their own actions and words. And I'm glad she's doing well
Hi Trina, wow I lived in Riverdale Bronx, early 2000s and everything she is saying is correct. Jewish neighborhood and they didn’t like people of color living there. We experienced it being maybe only two spanish families in our building. So glad to know we are from the same area, can only imagine how difficult it must have been to be growing up there in the 50s 😬
I really hate hearing this because this is one of my favorite shows to this day. How unfortunate. I hope each person sincerely felt shame and sincerely apologized, not just for the viewers.
She is soo pretty! Topanga was for sure jealous of her! It’s obvious she wanted all the attention from the boys and was a hater. She has a beautiful heart for forgiving them. God bless her miracle baby ❤
This is soooo messed up. As a Black woman who grew up loving this show, if definitely gives me a bad taste in my mouth about this show/ cast.🤦♀️🤦♀️😔😔😔😔
I let my child watch this, thinking they were totally inclusive. I again feel fooled. Cheers😊😊😊

I was on her side at first but she also talked about how when she first talked about will and denial making the comments they did towards her without them knowing it was hurt full she also said after that interview they reached out to her and apologized and that it was all a miscommunication thing then she goes and pretty much has done a lot of interviews over the years just talking about how she thinks they are all aholes and all that. After hearing her and seeing lots of cast interviews and bloopers I really think she's sour and she went in there thinking they were gonna praise her and with some attitude and not clicked with her and it is what it is.
@@Librana0688also Rider Strong always stood up for her
The only person who ever stood up for her was Ryder Strong. Period.
She is so captivating ❤ her look, her voice, her energy ✨️
Her features are absolutely beautiful!
And they still still did her dirty!! They still did her dirty when she did Girl Meets World.
Yep
What happened what did they do ?
@@anthonymontes8815 search up girl meets world reunion scene
Then why did she do it? She didn't have to.
Ben savage dad was dying of cancer the week she was on Girl meets world. She's nuts for expecting him to be kissing her ass.
She reminded me of a younger Josephine Baker on "Boy Meets World".. Not because of how she acted, she has a similar look to Josephine Baker, both are very beautiful women. 😍 Lovely 😍 ❤
I can see Josephine more in her older age, not so much when she was younger.
i hatee they treated her in such a way.
Honestly filmography wise Trina is the most decorated and steadily working actor. Then Rider Strong. I haven't seen Will in much, Danielle, only seen her in the boy meets world shows and 1 episode of full house. Ben savage, haven't seen him in anything other than boy and girl meets world. Trina is a working successful actress.
Ben is running for office and he has been on nickelodeon. Trina I haven't seen on anything.
I only remember her from BMW well all of the cast I can only remember from this show
Trina's filmography is nothing to speak of. She's basically appeared on things as "Girl #3" She had a connection in the business that got her all these small spots but nothing significant other than Boy Meets World in her late 20s. The others hit it big as young actors at like 11 years old so obviously they weren't in that much. Trina is definitely the least successful out of all of them though and its not even close. That's why she first came out with these racism claims because she was jealous of the others having being successful and wealthy while she was unsuccessful, bitter, and broke.
I remember Danielle being in some American Pie or Nation Lampoon spin-offs I think........one of the weird ones, nothing memorable.
Only things I remember Will for are being Ron Stoppable and Terry McGinnis.
The rest I remembered being in nothing until the Girl Meets World spinoff happened.
Ben savage was in little monsters with his brother when he was a little kid
Crazy . I most say I did watch the show until the end . But I don’t stay for any type of racism . I’m a Latin woman and I face racism my self . I’m sorry for what you went through. Thank you for sharing your story❤
❤
Whew, to be Black…
Maybe Black, beautiful & talented, sometimes folks with same can't tolerate others have it,😢
Is a Blessing, Power, Confident, Intelligent, and Excellence.
Her story isn’t yours
She looks amazing for her
age.. in her 50's ❤wow❤
Ive loved her characters throughout the years. She’s seriously one of the most beautiful people in the industry. I’m so glad she’s been using her voice. Thank you for sharing this!!
She was my favorite. Always thought she favored Inman the Model for those who don't know know.
I love Iman she was married to David bowie. So shocked when he passed
Yes, she did/does.
I'm sorry they apologized bc they didn't want to be canceled, off camera, they feel the same way!
Ben didn't apologize because he knows she's not worth his apology. She's drama and toxic. The others wanted to cover their behinds. She's probably trying to extort them for more money so she's starting to tell these stories again.
@@marksommers4179Ben the pdf file should be in prison with his uncle Harvey. You and them are one and the same so why would anyone care what you think? This lady is 10 yrs older than looking good living her best life while they are looking like crypt keepers trying to gain relevance 😂 what a joke you and them are.
Oh sorry it's "drama" to expose discrimination and racist behavior. Just another ignorant person who doesn't want to hear about any negative history 🙄 and likes to live in Denial River. Keep living in ignorance while we ADULTS live and deal with the real world and it's real problems. She made that show more successful and deserves respect just like all the others but of course there's "those type of ppl" who are gonna just call it drama 🤡 and don't worry we know exactly why you are the way you are.
@@marksommers4179 why is is that when black people share their experiences, that is where people like you see the problem? It’s never an issue with how black people are treated with you all, it’s always how black people respond to being mistreated that y’all take issue with.
I didn't really hear anything specific besides the Jemima comment. It seems like she had preconceived notions about white people and was looking for them to be racist
She was born in 1969 she looks Amazing!!!❤
I wondered what her experience was like on that show. She is a lovely lady.
She is gorgeous ❤
I stuck with Boy Meets World for Angela and Shawn’s story line. I didn’t give a crap about the main character’s story line.
Same
Ditto
Corey Matthews was the worst, fr fr 😂
SAME!
Nah Topanga was popping
From Nickelodeon to This, all these 90's show hit different knowing what I know now 😑.
trina was honestly the cutest one. she easily could have played roles of being royal, while i don’t necessarily see topanga playing any princess roles, she gives more girl next door who cuts class to pda in the staircase with her boyfriend. trina was an IT girl, fr✨
I was an actor. The biggest surprise to me was the amount of racism I saw in the industry.
Racism was very much alive in the 80s and 90s as it is today. 🤷🏾♂️
I always remembered how beautiful she was, (and still is) it's such a shame she went through that. Her cast mates never gave it a second thought,nir would there have been an apology if she didn't mention it sooo many years later. There is power in our words,!
I was born in ‘87, grew up watching this show, LOVED IT- so many life lessons. But I connected on a whole new level when Angela joined the cast- so from a biracial girl born in Detroit, who moved to an ALL white area in 1st grade, I was SO THANKFUL to have beautiful black women like her to look up too. I know she went through a lot, but I appreciate so much her diversity to the cast❤
Woah she's a year younger than my mom , and I'm gagging because if you have them stand side by side you would never know that they are technically the same age. I mean wow this girl was born in the late 60s and she looks freaking amazing!!!
the 90's werent so good as far as treatment of anyone who wasnt white . im mixed race (cape verde/white) and even i had it bad plus being gay also. talk about social anxiety that no medicine can ever treat or cure. now im 40 and still deal with the triggers that bring up those feelings. ignorant people scare me.
We don't except your apology cause its in you and you will NEVER change.
This seems to be a common story for most black actresses from the 90's.
anyone of color sadly
She was treated worse in Girl Meets world. Tapanga didn't even exchange words with her and Cory only said one word. They wanted to make her character look like nothing .How sad a character who gave so much. She changed Shawn's life. How RUDE . No respect for a great character. She is still beautiful, more beautiful than before. The best revenge she had was that Girl Meets World was not as successful as Boy Meets World.
Thats crazy.. had tubes tied AND went thru menopause and still got pregnant.. lol a miracle baby is right..
LOL if you believe her story you're a fool. Im sure in a few months she will claim she had a "miscarriage" and the imaginary baby died.
Wow she’s from Riverdale that’s crazy 😭 I’m from the ghetto side of Yonkers which is right next to Riverdale it’s like once you leave the ghetto you get to this nice little area and she’s right it’s beautiful there small little town with their own schools and colleges you would never think your in the Bronx 😂😂
idk if i can ever watch boy meets world again
God is a great record keeper. Trina is living well and looks great. Karma is crazy, because rumor has it the girl that played Topanga is sick. So let people stay racist, evil, narcissistic whatever because life will hit em for being just that.
She was Diagnosed breast cancer. karma is a bitch what comes around comes around. sad none of the cast members of the people who worked behind the camera stood up for her.
@NewBloodMoon6000 NewBloodMoon6000 I didn't want to say it but I'm glad u backing me up❤️
God doesnt give people sickness. Not the almighty loving God I know anyway.
@@Sincerely_SweetAesthete Might need to read the Bible
@@Sincerely_SweetAestheteGod most certainly does allow, uses and gives sickness and pestilence. If you read the Bible, you'd know that.
All these apologies 20+ years from her costars are meaningless. There only apologizing because of the social climate and fear they won't get another acting job if they didn't. They even let her off the promo picture. They only said they're sorry because they were confronted and not because they actually changed
That’s what I’m saying! What did it profit them. Look at their careers now. Nobody is hiring them. What jobs did they get by acting like that. It was wrong then just like it is now. They could’ve apologized at any point before now. And the producers are guilty too ans shouldn’t get away either.
Gee, imagine expecting decency from actors? These are the most self-absorbed people on the planet. There are very few good people in that industry.
I started watching the show because of her and I'm black I was a teenager at the time and I still watch that show. I can't believe they did that to her SMDH 🤔
She looks great!!!!
It's Amerikkka, no surprise. 😩
Nope
She's lying!
Don’t pretend it’s not the best & the worst
Honestly makes me dislike the other characters and the show
She's a liar. The thing she told about Ben was clearly something he was doing as a joke and its funny if you have a sense of humor. Trina always had this huge ego as if Boy Meets World was her show though. She has talked about how these younger kids "didn't respect her" she wanted them to fall at her feet because she was older basically. She acts like she was a decorated actress but was completely unknown before Boy Meets World.
@@marksommers4179nothing was funny about any of those “jokes” ppl always want to do BS and then say oh it was a joke. Lies from the pits of hell but we all have to answer to the same creator. What would be her motivation to lie on Ben the pdf file 😂😂 yeah the Open Secret revealed him and his brother’s true colors long ago, but I’m sure you don’t want to talk about that. PDF file, racist is just some of the descriptors that fit here but yeah she’s the liar.
@@Queenofdacastle The documentary you're speaking of was made to highlight child and teen actors who were abused by adult Hollywood agents, producers, etc that were 40+ years old. The documentary was very clearly showing a young teen getting groped by an older man. But by all means victim blame and accuse victims of crazy things because you're too stupid to understand such a simple thing.
I've watched a different world dozens of times and I remember that scene with her remembering saying she looked so familiar.. WOW.. It's really horrible she went threw that.. stay blessed 😊
She's 55 and beautiful and they, well ..... Girl you look good! Tell your story and let it all out
😂 I said the same she didn't gain no weight
Omg I loved her and Sean together. 😭😭
I don't think Sean was mean to her if I remember right.
@@childof83He wasn’t
@@tyrishasmith-grady703 😞 damn.
Hell no, not me. I didn't like them together.
Why would you like she and Sean together, especially after what you heard, this whole interracialcouple thing is played out
I loved that show because of Angela and Shawn
She looks like Scary Spice. She was also called this in Friday After Next. 😊
They really don't look anything alike at all.
She's the Temu version of Scary Spice if anything.
They do look so much alike!
@@privatejapan5599 I had no idea that was her in Friday after Next! 🤣😂😍
Just same skin tone and hair colors. Other than that, where are the similarities?
I was in love with her back then she's still beautiful
😢 ugh heart breaking to know that’s how they treated her and I adored Angela and Sean . Well guess we can’t be surprised that’s how it was. But gosh I hope Sean didn’t treat her that way too! I wouldn’t have even been able to act properly if that was me
If I remember correctly he was actually the only one who treated her good
I like Trina. This story has been told multiple times at this point and a few of the guilty parties apologized(cept Ben Savage but those boys were known for being jerky). Wheres the growth? She was an adult black actress on a mostly white cast show with co-stars about a decade younger than her in the 1990s...what shes telling is not surprising.
I can’t even watch that show now after I found out how she was treated. And I used to love that show. Smh
I’m black and I went through the same ish back in the day. I think it was due mostly to the lights back then weren’t used to people outside of their race in their spaces. I mean back then they were center of attention and culture revolved around them.
It took eight minutes to get to the point. The stuff about BMW starts around 7:00 minute mark
Thank you!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🙏
Those apologies are irrelevant. 🤨
Come on now she was the only black actress on the entire show, that should tell you something, that in the boy meets world universe Angela was the only black person Corey knew wth
At the time, we knew - but we were just happy to have some representation. It was obvious and glaring though.
@@ddoubleu170 Some representation? The programming block was filled with black TV shows. You could see black actors on every channel. God forbid a show didn't have one. I never put on Moesha and asked where her white friends were.
Wasn't Kim z the only white cast member on real housewives of Atlanta and got choked out by nene and called a who're throughout her run on the show? And nene sued due to Kim being racist yet she never said the N word yet been called her white B**ch all the time
@@marksommers4179they must have representation even if it’s fake. There’s plenty of places where only white populations are or one or two black people etc. your comment is spot on! If they hated her, she wouldn’t have worked at all…easier to play victim than just own she’s insufferable!
And that was the problem the lack of diversity was obvious. Whites and blacks were still being separated 🙄 so you just proved their point. 👍 Of course they're gonna compensate by making shows catered to black people if white people are obviously not interested in diversity in their shows. 🤷🏻♀️
But I'm glad TV has grown since and shows are now more integrated with all races.
SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!!! THIS IS SO SAD!!! I WATCHED BECAUSE OF HER!!!!
I’m not surprised. They just can’t help themselves. Evil and Phony apologies.
While not happy about Ms. McGee's treatment on Boy Meets World, I am happy that the different cast members grew up and realized they were wrong. More importantly, they apologized.
Wow they basically created her character as the token “black” girl smh. Thanks for social media platforms for disclosing backstories of childhood sitcoms, movies etc behind the scenes. It breaks my heart that this information leaves a bad impression and can’t watch Boy Meets Worlds in a good light 😥 On her brighter note Trina looks AMAZING 🥰
If you see a black person in an all white environment then yes, that person is the “token” black person
Do you even know what "token" means? She was given character on the show and they were very good to her, not a token.
@@marksommers4179 Did you even watch the video???? The other cast members were mean to her and due to fact that they were mean to her she didn’t have a good experience. Usually when it’s a predominantly white cast it’s always protocol to have a “black” character which is considered a token black character to have diversity or lack there of. They do the same thing in the work field, they hire a minority for diversity when it’s a predominantly white setting
Why am I not surprised?
Pregnant at 54? That’s amazing❤ I didn’t think anyone could at that age
Having been a black woman in an all white environment for most of my life I understand where she is coming from
I still go back in time to watch the episodes I Love You Donna Karan and Chasing Angela Angela made me keep watching. Trina makes me go back and rewatch!
That was my show❤❤❤ and I really really really really really loved her on it!!!
Could you imagine having to maintain professionalism whilst being degraded and mistreated by a co-star that you are in an on-screen relationship with smh.
She was 7-10 years older than them boys. Why are we only now realizing we need to protect child actors
She is lovely, inside and out! Her facial features are so beautiful!!
I Love Her! She Was Amazing In That Show And Really Brought It To Life. She’s always Been Beautiful
That her coworkers publicly apologized is wonderful and likely healing. Most of us don’t get that and I’m glad she did. I’m sure it healed them too. As a Haitian, I’m annoyed at how some of our men just go on and create other families. Shame on him for not meeting her until she was 40.
Yeah you could really feel her and Ben Savage did not get along. When you watch the show you can feel that energy carry into the acting. So I was not surprised when she said he was like that. It's sad because she deserved to be treated with kindness and respect.
This makes me so mad and sad for her. I loved boy meets world. I’m happy she handled the situation with so much grace. She’s beautiful inside and out.
I loved her in Boy Meets World
She is amazing and beautiful!
Unfortunately, I'm not surprised to hear this. I'm happy that some of the cast has taken accountability for their own actions and words. And I'm glad she's doing well
She's in great shape and she aged well 💐
Hi Trina, wow I lived in Riverdale Bronx, early 2000s and everything she is saying is correct. Jewish neighborhood and they didn’t like people of color living there. We experienced it being maybe only two spanish families in our building. So glad to know we are from the same area, can only imagine how difficult it must have been to be growing up there in the 50s 😬
Ain’t no way I’d been kissing a racist tv or not
I didn't know TV's could be racist
💯💯💯💯💯
@@fidelgarcia2224 SHUT UP
That part, i ain't know why she did kissing scenes with him
@@H20X her love interest wasn't racist, he always stood up for her
Well done video!
Thanks!
She's right Riverdale is beautiful. Very scenic. It looks and feel like Middle American town
I really hate hearing this because this is one of my favorite shows to this day. How unfortunate. I hope each person sincerely felt shame and sincerely apologized, not just for the viewers.
Omg she still look so young! Can believe they did her like that 😮
Beautiful, talented woman. Glad to see that she moved past the ignorance of other people.
Love all of their maturity and forgiveness to each other so much ❤😢🙏 I miss these universal energies on TV so very much
She is soo pretty! Topanga was for sure jealous of her! It’s obvious she wanted all the attention from the boys and was a hater. She has a beautiful heart for forgiving them. God bless her miracle baby ❤
Clown🤡. Danielle is a queen👸
She was great in that scream ep 😂
