'Just the tip of the iceberg': Pamela Anderson doubles down on creepy allegation against Tim Allen



Pamela Anderson is doubling down on her accusations of impropriety against Tim Allen.

What are the allegations?

In her new memoir, Anderson claims that on the first day of filming for "Home Improvement," the hit sitcom that aired from 1991 to 1999, Allen exposed himself. She suggested Allen did this because she had appeared in Playboy magazine.

Anderson claimed in her book, according to Variety:

On the first day of filming, I walked out of my dressing room, and Tim was in the hallway in his robe. He opened his robe and flashed me quickly — completely naked underneath. He said it was only fair, because he had seen me naked. Now we’re even. I laughed uncomfortably.

Anderson, who played a minor role on "Home Improvement," was 23 years old at the time of the alleged incident; Allen was 37.

For his part, Allen has unequivocally denied the allegations. "No, it never happened. I would never do such a thing," he said, later following up on those comments by suggesting that Anderson's memory is faulty.

What is Anderson saying now?

Anderson told "ET Canada" that Allen was forced to deny what she says is true because admitting to the allegations could trigger a domino effect against him.

"He has to deny it because look at the times we're in. If he said, 'Oh yeah, I did that…' he'd be — a lot of these stories are just the tip of the iceberg," she said.

Anderson also denied making it up — in fact, she suggested that such a story could not be made up — and said she put her allegation in the book because "Home Improvement" was her first significant acting job and she believed it was an "important" story to tell.

In another interview with Variety published last month, Anderson appeared to defend Allen.

"Tim is a comedian, it's his job to cross the line. I'm sure he had no bad intentions," she said. "Times have changed, though. I doubt anyone would try that post-#MeToo. It's a new world."

Pamela Anderson doubles down on controversial #MeToo comments: 'I could even take it a step further'



Pamela Anderson has doubled down on her controversial #MeToo comments that caused quite a stir in 2017. The "Baywatch" star also discussed the type of "feminism" that she grew up with.

In November 2017, Anderson gave an interview with Megyn Kelly for the "Today" show. At the time, the #MeToo movement was a massive story around the world. The "Me Too" movement hit Hollywood hard as women came forward to accuse men in power of sexual harassment and abuse. More than 80 women have accused Harvey Weinstein of inappropriate behavior as well as criminal sexual harassment and rape.

During the "Today" interview, Kelly asked Anderson about predatory Hollywood producers like Weinstein.

"It was common knowledge that certain producers or certain people in Hollywood or people to avoid, privately," Anderson told Kelly. "You know what you’re getting into if you’re going into a hotel room alone."

Anderson continued, "When I came to Hollywood, of course I had a lot of offers to do private auditions and things that made absolutely no sense. Just common sense: don’t go into a hotel room alone. If someone enters a door in a bathrobe, leave. These things that are common sense."

When Kelly asked about Weinstein having agents and assistants escorting actresses to what they believed to be a business meeting, Anderson said that wasn't a "good excuse."

She responded, "Send somebody with them. I think there’s easy ways to remedy that. That’s not a good excuse."

"I know that Hollywood is very seductive and these people want to be famous," the "Barb Wire" actress added. "Sometimes you think you’re going to be safe with an adult in the room."

Anderson said, "Somehow I’ve dodged it all. I’ve been offered lots of things."

Anderson said that she was offered "money, homes, and roles in movies," but declined them because "it didn't appeal" to her because she's a "romantic."

There was immediate backlash to Anderson's comments from the "Today" show interview, and some accused her of victim-blaming.

In a new piece for Interview Magazine, journalist Ronan Farrow asked Anderson about her #MeToo comments from 2017.

Anderson declared, "I could even take it a step further. My mother would tell me — and I think this is the kind of feminism I grew up with — it takes two to tango."

"Believe me, I’ve been in many situations where it’s like, 'Come in here little girl, sit on the bed.' But my mom would say, 'If someone answers the door in a hotel robe and you’re going for an interview, don’t go in. But if you do go in, get the job.' That’s a horrible thing to say but that’s how I was," the 52-year-old model added.

"I skated on the edges of destruction, I just had this sense of value and self-worth," Anderson explained. "But I think a lot of people don’t have that or they weren’t taught that."

Anderson conceded, "Thank god for the #MeToo movement because things have changed and people are much more careful and respectful."

Speaking about modeling for Playboy, Anderson recalled, "Looking back on those times, I wasn’t thinking, 'Oh, these men are sexist.' I didn’t really know what that meant. I was just thinking, 'Oh my gosh, I’m here in this industry, this is how it works. I was in Playboy, so maybe I deserve it.'"

"I was coming from a much more innocent place. I wasn’t stupid — naive maybe — but I had a pretty strong sense of self," she added. "I always felt that when I was older I would recognize myself, that I just had to get through that time."

Anderson has been in promotional mode in recent weeks to support her new memoir, “Love, Pamela,” and her new Netflix documentary, “Pamela, a Love Story.” In the projects, the former Playboy Playmate reveals how she dealt with sexual abuse and harassment in her personal and professional lives.

Anderson made headlines last month when it came to light that she made accusations in her memoir of comedic actor Tim Allen exposing himself to her on the first day of filming of the 1990s sitcom "Home Improvement."

Allen has vehemently denied the accusations, "No, it never happened. I would never do such a thing."

Tim Allen fires back at Pamela Anderson over allegation of impropriety before TV show filming: 'All of us at Disney/ABC, really'



Actor Tim Allen has once again responded to allegations levied by Pamela Anderson that he flashed her more than 30 years ago.

According to Allen, executives at ABC/Disney are "disappointed" in her, suggesting that she has a poor memory.

"She was a great co-worker, I'll tell you that. She's a fun girl. Everybody loved her, but everybody at ABC is a little disappointed in her ... memory, put it that way," he told the Daily Mail last week. "All of us at Disney/ABC, really."

By contrast, when Allen was asked if his memory is good, he responded, "Yeah." In effect, then, Allen is accusing Anderson of misremembering something that he says never happened.

What is the background?

The alleged incident, which Anderson revealed in her memoir that was released on Tuesday, would have taken place in 1991 before the taping of the "Home Improvement" pilot episode.

Prior to taping, Anderson alleged that Allen flashed her. She wrote in her book, according to Variety:

On the first day of filming, I walked out of my dressing room, and Tim was in the hallway in his robe. He opened his robe and flashed me quickly — completely naked underneath. He said it was only fair, because he had seen me naked. Now we’re even. I laughed uncomfortably.

After the allegation surfaced last week, Allen denied that it ever happened.

"No, it never happened. I would never do such a thing," he told Variety.

His pushback, however, did not stop Anderson from doubling down.

"This true story is just one of many surreal and uncomfortable situations I learned to navigate," Anderson later said in a statement. "My book goes into how it made me feel over the course of my life and, in this case, my career. I have no ill will toward Tim. But like the rest, it should never have happened."

Anything else?

In yet another interview, this time with Variety, Anderson appeared to defend Allen, though she did not retract her allegations.

"Tim is a comedian, it’s his job to cross the line. I’m sure he had no bad intentions," she said. "Times have changed, though. I doubt anyone would try that post-#MeToo. It’s a new world."

Lead actress of 'Home Improvement' defends Tim Allen over resurfaced clip showing him lifting kilt on set



Patricia Richardson, lead actress of the 1990s hit sitcom "Home Improvement," defended her co-star, Tim Allen, this week after an old video clip surfaced, purportedly showing Allen flashing Richardson.

What is the background?

Richardson's comments are particularly noteworthy after Pamela Anderson, who played a minor role on "Home Improvement," alleged that Allen flashed her before the filming of the show's pilot episode.

Variety reported on Anderson's allegations, which are featured in her forthcoming memoir, set to be released next week. Anderson wrote:

On the first day of filming, I walked out of my dressing room, and Tim was in the hallway in his robe. He opened his robe and flashed me quickly — completely naked underneath. He said it was only fair, because he had seen me naked. Now we’re even. I laughed uncomfortably.

Allen has denied the accusations.

"No, it never happened. I would never do such a thing," he told Variety.

What did Richardson say?

After Anderson's allegations were published, TMZ obtained video of a "Home Improvement" blooper reel.

The clip shows Richardson's character, "Jill Taylor," and Allen's, "Tim Taylor," standing in the living room set of the show. Allen's character is wearing a kilt when he appears to flash Richardson, who responds, "Hangs long, I just wish it was shorter." Both characters then laughed.

The clip was used to perhaps give credence to Anderson's accusations against Allen. But Richardson quickly shut down any hint of impropriety.

"People ask me what was under the kilt when he flashed me, he was well dressed under there, I was just shocked that he lifted the kilt, not by a man in boxer shorts," Richardson told TMZ.

Anything else?

Anderson responded to Allen's denial this week by doubling down on her accusation.

"This true story is just one of many surreal and uncomfortable situations I learned to navigate," Anderson said in a statement. "My book goes into how it made me feel over the course of my life and, in this case, my career. I have no ill will toward Tim. But like the rest, it should never have happened."

Tim Allen responds after Pamela Anderson makes explosive allegation against him: 'He said it was only fair'



Actor Tim Allen has responded to explosive accusations that he exposed himself to Pamela Anderson on the set of "Home Improvement" in the 1990s.

What is the accusation?

Anderson's forthcoming memoir — "Love, Pamela" — details the creepy accusation.

According to Variety, Anderson claims in her book that on the first day of filming for "Home Improvement," the hit sitcom that aired from 1991 to 1999, Allen exposed himself because Anderson had appeared in Playboy.

Anderson claims in her book:

On the first day of filming, I walked out of my dressing room, and Tim was in the hallway in his robe. He opened his robe and flashed me quickly — completely naked underneath. He said it was only fair, because he had seen me naked. Now we’re even. I laughed uncomfortably.

At the time of the alleged incident, Anderson was just 23 years old. "Home Improvement" was one of Anderson's earliest TV credits; she played Lisa the Tool Girl, who assisted Tim Taylor, played by Allen, and Al Borland, played by Richard Karn, on a show-within-a-show "Tool Time," which featured Tim and Al as they demonstrated various home-improvement projects.

Anderson only appeared on "Home Improvement" for 23 episodes. Instead, she reached stardom after being cast as a regular on "Baywatch."

How did Allen respond?

Allen, who would have been 37 years old at the time of the alleged incident, unequivocally denied Anderson's accusations.

"No, it never happened. I would never do such a thing," he told Variety.

Anderson, however, insists that it did.

"This true story is just one of many surreal and uncomfortable situations I learned to navigate," Anderson said in a statement. "My book goes into how it made me feel over the course of my life and, in this case, my career. I have no ill will toward Tim. But like the rest, it should never have happened."

Anderson's book is set to release on Jan. 31.

Pamela Anderson dumps all social media, says Big Tech is bent on 'control over your brain'



Pamela Anderson, model, actress, and animal rights activist, says she's breaking up with social media for good.

Anderson said Tuesday that she's finally giving up her platforms because she's too concerned that Big Tech is set to control everything — including people's minds.

She also said that she's in a healthy and positive place in her life, and apparently has no room for social media — or what she refers to as distractions and "wasted time."

What are the details?

In a Tuesday Instagram post, Anderson wrote, "This will be my last post on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook. I've never been interested in social media and now that I'm settled into the life I'm genuinely inspired by reading and being in nature. I am free."

Anderson continued her post by wishing her followers and fans her best, and by encouraging them to follow their own life's purpose.

"Thanks for the love. Blessings to you all. Lets [sic] hope you find the strength and inspiration to follow your purpose and try not to be seduced by wasted time," she wrote.

She then went on to point the finger at Big Tech, which she says is only interested in making money.

"Thats [sic] what THEY want and can use to make money," the 53-year-old former Playboy model concluded. "Control over your brain."

The former "Baywatch" actress accompanied the note with a throwback photo of herself from what appears to have been taken in the '90s.

She also shared the announcement to her Twitter page, which pointed to her Instagram post, and read, "Goodbye Social Media."

The actress did not indicate whether she would leave her pages active, or she would deactivate them in addition to abandoning them.


Anything else?

In 2020, Anderson announced that she was named the creative director of a new social platform at Jasmin.com directed toward communications with lifestyle influencers.

At the time, she appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America" and said that she "[loved] the concept."

"I love the idea of trying to connect people," she said. "I feel like it's one of those things where users and influencers can talk about anything and it's direct communication looking into somebody's eyes. I kind of take social media to another level."
