"Boy Meets World" Star Sobs, Gets Off

Posted Mar 18th 2008 2:09PM by TMZ Staff

Topanga, the chick from "Boy Meets World," went before a judge and cried so hard he let her off.

Danielle Fishel went under radar as she appeared in a LA Courthouse earlier this year. She had failed to show for a hearing in an earlier DUI case and a warrant was issued for her arrest. Then last December, she was pulled over in the O.C. When cops ran her name in the computer, they found she had a warrant and busted her.

Danielle, in her finest form, went to court and completely broke down before the judge, sobbing uncontrollably. Guess what -- it worked. The judge didn't nail her and reinstated her probation.

The judge did say if Danielle screws up again she'll get 25 days in the pokey.

1. I think she has a lot to cry about.

2. You drink and drive, you should be punished for it. No way they should have let her off over a few tears.

3. Ah, unequal justice. I've seen many a poor Black and Hispanic woman cry in open court back in the Bronx, and seldom has the priveleged white judge on the bench even pretended to give a damn. But let a young, white woman cry, and statutes be damned. Maybe she'll even get a third chance.

Britney's Family Court experiences are unparalleled in this country for someone who is poor and non-white.

It's a crying shame.

4. Once again, ONLY in Hollywood do they refer to Orange County with an article "THE" preceding it. Dumb!

8. that's funny, i heard that she was busted for driving under the influence a few years ago...and actually went to jail for it and served her full sentence, unlike most celebrities out there, but there was some sort of mix-up, causing them to put out a warrant for her arrest, and that she got pulled over when she wasn't drinking and was arrested anyway because of the warrant. now who should i believe? for some reason i don't think it's the internet gossip page.
