AceShowbiz - Ben Savage has been accused of ghosting his "Boy Meets World" co-stars and friends. The "Still the King" actor was revealed by Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle and Rider Strong in a brand new interview to have "disappeared" from the three of them.
The surprising revelation was made public after Danielle, Will and Rider sat down with Variety for a feature story that was published on Wednesday, June 28. Revealing that three of them had not been talking to Ben for three years, Danielle stated, "He ghosted us."
Will chimed in to explain, "He disappeared - I wish I knew why, to this day. We didn't have a fight. There's no falling out. There was no animosity. He just woke up one day, and decided I don't want this person in my life anymore." He added, "I finally sent a text saying, 'I've known you for 30 years, what's going on?' I said, 'I'm gonna call you every day until you tell me not to call you anymore.' "
"That lasted about three weeks or a month, every single day," Will continued. He further stated that the subject of him not being in touch with Ben anymore is a "sore" one for him. "I've known him since he was 11 years old, and we have a shared history. And we were doing these conventions together, and we were getting to know each other as adults, and then he just kind of went, 'I'm done with you,' " he reasoned.
Will further shared, "I tried and tried and tried for months, until finally my wife was like, 'Why are you doing this to yourself? He obviously doesn't want you in his life.' " He then pointed to his, Danielle and Rider's iHeart Radio rewatch podcast, "Pod Meets World", as saying, "If there's anything this podcast has taught me, it's that everyone is on their own journey."
"And having their own experiences that can be perceived many different ways, depending on your POV," Will continued elaborating. "Speaking for myself, Ben and I may be estranged right now and we may have our complaints about each other, but I will always love Ben and want what’s best for him. I don't think this is the end of our story - but time will tell."
