A well-known porn star has shared the unexpected clause that's put in her contracts.

Maitland Ward started out as a traditional actress and got her big break on the popular 1990s sitcom Boy Meets World.

She's also starred in movies and TV shows like White Chicks, The Bold and The Beautiful, and Dish Dogs; but in 2019, she ditched Hollywood in favor of a more risqué career in the adult industry.

Several years later and Ward is now a well-known porn star and makes 10 times more than she did as a mainstream actress.

She also believes she gets 'more respect' from people since joining the adult industry.

"I really think people treat me with more respect now, honestly, especially even in Hollywood right now," Ward previously told Fox News.

"I'm pitching my memoir into a TV format and talking with people. They're so respectful, and they're so positive about my story, especially younger people and different people that I speak to in Hollywood and stuff," she continued.

Ward released her book, titled My Escape from Hollywood: Unapologetic, Unfiltered, and Unashamed, in September 2022.

Over the years, she's been extremely candid about what it's like working as a porn star and even revealed that she has certain clauses in her contracts.

"People think a porn set is like some wild orgy 24/7 but it’s not — it’s more controlled than you could imagine," she revealed to The Sun in 2022.

"All the sexual positions have to be agreed on, written down, in black and white. You agree in writing to have sex on film and exactly what that sex will be."

Ward went on: "You have to say you’re not under the influence of anything or anyone.

"Even the celebrity sex tapes these days, if that film is in a store being sold with a cover and everything, then they would have had to agree to that."

She also insisted that she has 'never ever in a million years been pressured to do anything I didn't want to' by a male film director or fellow performer.

"In the sets I have always been on, if you say no, the rule is the filming stops with no questions asked," Ward added.

The actress-turned-pornstar didn't share what type of things she'd typically say no to, but her fellow performer Angela White has.

White said she would never do anything illegal, hateful or derogatory.

"I really just focus on things that are fun and working with directors that I enjoy being on set with and working with performers that I have a genuine connection with," she continued. "Those are what I focus on."
