Pamela Anderson’s memoir, Love Pamela, might not be out yet—but we’re already learning bombshells about the men she crossed paths with in her life.
The book will debut on January 31, and from the details we learned about it so far? Anderson isn't withholding any details. Per the book’s synopsis, Love, Pamela will see “the actress, activist, and once infamous Playboy Playmate reclaim the narrative of her life in a memoir that defies expectation in both content and approach, blending searing prose with snippets of original poetry.” Variety received an early copy of the novel and revealed Anderson's claims that Jack Nicholson and Tim Allen behaved inappropriately in her presence.
In one chapter, Anderson detailed a wild encounter with Jack Nicholson. One night, when she was at the Playboy Mansion, Anderson claims that she ran into the actor having a threesome in the bathroom. "Mr. Nicholson had two beautiful women with him," she said. “They were all giggling and kissing up against the wall, sliding all over each other. I walked by to use the mirror, bending over the sink to fix my lipgloss. Trying not to look, but I couldn’t help myself and caught his eye in the reflection. I guess that got him to the finish line because he made a funny noise, smiled, and said, 'Thanks, dear.'"
Another passage from the book includes a memory of Tim Allen exposing himself on set. Anderson claims that actor Tim Allen flashed his penis at her while filming the '90s sitcom, Home Improvement. According to the actress, he suddenly exposed himself backstage. “On the first day of filming, I walked out of my dressing room, and Tim was in the hallway in his robe,” Anderson wrote. “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 was 23 years old at the time. Home Improvement was one of her first big gigs, following a lucrative modeling career at Playboy. She played Lisa the “Tool Girl” alongside Allen’s character, Tim Taylor, for two seasons. Allen told Variety that Anderson’s claim is not true. “No, it never happened,” he said. “I would never do such a thing.”
According to Variety, the accusation about Tim Allen is merely one of several shocking details about Anderson’s life to come from her memoir. Love, Pamela will release in tandem with Anderson’s documentary, Pamela, A Love Story—which is expected to dive into Anderson's highly publicized love life. It seems as if the actress is tired of people trying to tell her story for her—while leaving out key details. Perhaps with both projects out in the world, fans of Anderson will finally understand who she really is, and how she became a household name.
