Maitland Ward is spilling the beans on her clash with “Boy Meets World” costar Danielle Fishel now that she’s caught her breath — and she’s telling us she definitely didn’t expect to be cornered like that!

The actress-turned-adult entertainer opened up to TMZ, saying the heated “Pod Meets World” episode wasn’t about DF wanting to truly mend their estrangement, but more about wanting to “give it to her” — so much so, Maitland says it felt like she suddenly morphed into villainous Regina George.

Catch the video, ’cause Maitland doesn’t hold back — she makes it crystal clear she wasn’t buying any of Danielle’s excuses, like “accidentally” unfriending her on Facebook and leaving her message unread for years.

She also tells us it was hurtful when Danielle tried to explain she couldn’t talk to her on the “Girl Meets World” set because she was supposedly “too busy” and felt she had an ulterior motive for inviting Danielle to her wedding.

It’s a jaw-dropping interview, with Maitland throwing some serious shade at their other costar, Will Friedle … saying she thought they were tight, but he betrayed her by basically leading her to the interview to be “slaughtered.”

Bottom line — Maitland says, despite thinking the podcast would tackle lighter topics, she holds no grudges against Danielle and does not regret going on the podcast.

Chris Eubank Jr. vs Conor Benn might be two months away, but the fireworks between the two boxers have already started going off — ’cause Eubank Jr. just slapped the taste out of Benn’s mouth WITH AN EGG during an intense stare-down.

The wild scene went down in Manchester on Tuesday … as part of a promotional event for their highly anticipated showdown at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in April.

While they were exchanging words, Eubank Jr. is shown on camera reaching into his sleeve, pulling out the egg, and then smacking his opponent with it.

In a post on X, Eubank Jr. poked fun at the egg contamination reasoning … saying, “Apparently egg contamination was the reason for his two failed drugs tests. So I contaminated him with an egg.”

Benn also responded to the showdown … saying, “That’s the only shot you’ll land on me, you f***ing prick.”

Justin Baldoni’s lawyers are blasting Blake Lively camp for asking for an enhanced protective order … especially given how Blake has publicly smeared him … even having her husband make a joke over the situation on “Saturday Night Live.”

In a letter to the judge on Tuesday, obtained by TMZ, Baldoni’s lawyers accuse Lively of trying to keep crucial evidence from the public, pointing out that she’s been anything but shy about her accusations in the past. They’re calling her move a bold attempt to keep the public in the dark because they feel her image is tarnished.

In Baldoni’s legal letter, his lawyers point out what they call “a planned skit” on “Saturday Night Live: 50th Anniversary Special,” last week in which Lively’s husband Ryan Reynolds stood up and made a joke about her claims for sexual harassment and emotional distress.

Last week, Lively’s lawyers filed a motion, claiming the “case involving high-profile individuals and allegations of sexual harassment” needed extra privacy to protect the involved parties from threats and potential witness tampering.

They also claimed identifying the two women from the “It Ends With Us” set would expose them to a “dangerous climate of threats, harassment, and intimidation.”
