Porn, Money, and Women in Hollywood (w/ Maitland Ward)

Maitland Ward is an adult film star and author of a new book called Rated X: How Porn Liberated Me from Hollywood. Best known for her role as Rachel Maguire on "Boy Meets World," Maitland enjoyed a successful career as a Hollywood actress before making the transition into the adult film industry.

Her videos and photos on OnlyFans now earn her over $1 million per year, in addition to the money she makes from adult films. "Rated X" is her first book, and it's surprisingly well-written, showcasing her talent as a writer. In today's interview, we discuss:

  • How she got into acting in the first place

  • Maitland's experience on "Boy Meets World"

  • The cold indifference of Hollywood, particularly as she approached her 30th birthday

  • How and why she got started on OnlyFans

  • How her husband and her parents feel about her burgeoning career in pornography

  • How having sex on camera is an expression of her true identity and what she gets out of her work besides an enormous amount of money
