Adult film career
Beginning in mid-2013, Ward began posting nude and topless photographs of herself on Snapchat and Instagram, gaining a large following on both sites.[14] In April 2016, she posted her first nude pictures to social media of her being body-painted for Luciano Paesani for a Los Angeles exhibition called "Living Art".[13] In 2019, she announced on Instagram that she would be performing in an adult film entitled Drive, a move described by In Touch Weekly as a "drastic career-shift".[6] Ward received support from former Boy Meets World co-star Trina McGee.[7]
In May 2019, Ward signed with adult talent agency Society 15.[15] She stated that she had been approached by adult actress and director Kayden Kross and was "just floored" by the proposition of doing adult films.[6] She told In Touch Weekly, "It's been an evolution. It's all been my authentic journey because everything that I have done along the way is something I wanted to explore and do. I just did it publicly for my fans, that is the exhibitionist style of me."[16] Drive was released online at the website Deeper.com on September 30, 2019.[6]
