In her new memoir, Pamela Anderson alleges Tim Allen exposed himself to her on the set of the 1990s sitcom “Home Improvement.”
“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,” Anderson writes in “Love, Pamela,” per Variety. “He said it was only fair, because he had seen me naked. Now we’re even. I laughed uncomfortably.”
According to Anderson, the alleged incident occurred in 1991 when she was 23 — and already a Playboy model — and Allen was 37.
In a statement to Variety, Allen said, “No, it never happened. I would never do such a thing.”
On “Home Improvement,” Anderson played “Tool Girl” Lisa, a cast member of the show-within-a-show “Tool Time,” which Allen’s character, Tim Taylor, co-hosted with Al Borland (Richard Karn).
Anderson left the ABC series after its second season — and devoted her time to the syndicated drama “Baywatch,” on which she played C.J. Parker in a starring role — but returned for the “Home Improvement” Season 6 finale in 1997.
In “Love, Pamela,” Anderson, now 55, traces her life from her upbringing on Vancouver Island to her time in the pages of Playboy to her years as a tabloid target. “In this honest, layered, and unforgettable book that alternates between storytelling and her own poetry, Pamela Anderson breaks the mold of the celebrity memoir while taking back the tale that has been crafted about her,” HarperCollins explains.
“Love, Pamela” goes on sale on Tuesday, January 31 — the same day Netflix will debut the documentary film “Pamela, A Love Story.” The model-turned-actress and her ex-husband Tommy Lee were also the subject of the 2022 Hulu limited series “Pam & Tommy.”
