She sure had us fooled.

Actress Trina McGee, best known for her role as Angela Moore on '90s sitcom, Boy Meets World, bewildered fans with a shocking confession in a recent TikTok video.

In the clip, the now 53-year-old divulged a truly surprising fact about her time on the series—she was actually six months pregnant while filming the show.

Though married to Courtland Davis and of age to be having a baby at the time, the admission completely threw many fans for a loop, seeing as most were unaware that McGee is eleven years older than her love interest on the show, Rider Strong (Shawn Hunter), which was based on the lives of high school/college-age young adults.

Appropriately set to the tune of Brandy's 1994 smash-hit "Baby," the social media snippet began with Trina head-bobbing on camera as on-screen text read: "That time I played a teenager but in reality I was 6 months pregnant..."

She then shrugged before the video cut to a screen grab photo of her from a Boy Meets World episode, zooming in on her growing bump, discreetly covered-up by a long cardigan.

Followers and fans of the wildly popular sitcom jumped into the comments with reactions galore, showing both shock upon learning the true-life fact and appreciation for Angela's character.

"I have watched this show repeatedly ever since I was a kid....I never suspected a thing! 😳" someone wrote, with another agreeing, "Wow! Usually I can tell when women are pregnant on a TV show but I did not know! 😳"

Someone claimed their mother's instincts knew all along, writing: "Hehe I remember watching the show with my mom and she swoooore you were pregnant and my lil young self thought she was nuts. 😂😂😂"

Many commented on her age and youthful looks, saying she could still play characters much younger 'til this day.

"I know you went through a lot on Boy Meets World but seeing you on-screen was everything for me growing up🥰 Thank You!" one TikTok user wrote, an intentional note in response to former comments the actress made about uncomfortable things she experienced while filming the show. The comment was met with much agreeance from fellow viewers of the clip, garnering over 3k likes in under 24 hours.

In the past, the Bronx, New York, native—who also appeared in film Friday After Next as well as TV series All of Us and The Hughleys—opened up about ill treatment she endured behind-the-scenes while filming, including exclusion and racism.

In September, she sat down with a few of her former costars to unpack some of that trauma and set the record straight. “I was told, in kind of a weird, off-handed way by a very important person, that you guys all went to [showrunner] Michael Jacobs, and you said, ‘We don’t want her in the last episode. She’s somehow taking our light,’ was the gist of it,” McGee revealed on a Pod Meets World episode. “I was told that after I shot what was the show before the last episode, which was called ‘Angela’s Ashes’ when I left.”

Colleagues Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle, and Strong all appeared oblivious to the revelation, making it clear that those events didn’t happen and that they had no idea about them until that moment. “Can we say for the record, Trina, that never happened,” Friedle noted, adding, “That’s not competitiveness; that’s sociopathy. This pisses me off. This is next level.”

McGee said that she believed her former co-stars, commenting, “I can tell by your reactions,” but also remembered being told by show-runners to "turn down her Blackness."

“I have had that in my head for so long, and I’ve never watched that show. I’ve always felt like, ugh… That hurt me a long time,” she added.

The actress later returned to the series to give closure to her and Shawn's romantic situation in a 2015 episode of spinoff, Girl Meets World.
