Pamela Anderson alleged actor Tim Allen flashed her his genitalia on the first day of filming the 90s sitcom Home Improvement.
She recalled the disturbing incident in her upcoming memoir detailed in Variety, saying she was 23 at the time she was sexually harassed by the stand-up comedian.
She said Allen justified his actions by claiming it was "only fair" since he had already seen her naked.
According to an excerpt from Love, Pamela–obtained by Variety ahead of its January 31 release–Anderson recalled what happened on the first day on the set of Home Improvement.
\u201cIn her upcoming memoir, Pamela Anderson details an incident that took place on the set of \u201cHome Improvement\u201d in 1991 when she was 23 years old: \u201cI walked out of my dressing room, and Tim was in the hallway in his robe. He opened his robe and flashed me." https://t.co/ebNTtn0g9R\u201d— Variety (@Variety) 1674429591
\u201cPam Anderson Says Tim Allen Flashed Penis at Her on 'Home Improvement' - Variety https://t.co/nnQf7VSgjv\u201d— Stephanie Officer (@Stephanie Officer) 1674486522
Anderson—who played the character Lisa on the show for the first two seasons—wrote:
"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."
Variety noted Allen—who was 37 at the time—presumably referred to Anderson's stint as a model in Playboy magazine which launched her acting career and turned her into an international sex symbol.
Social media users were astonished to read about the alleged incident.
\u201c@PopBase The people saying why didn\u2019t she say anything at that time? It was 1991 and she was a new actress who was only known for posing for Playboy\u2026 they would have blacklisted her so fast and ripped her apart in the press. So glad she is able to tell all now.\u201d— Pop Base (@Pop Base) 1674432550
\u201c@luckySGM @PopBase Exactly and even if she reported back then society and the justice system would have sided with Tim. Reporting sexual assault/harassment especially if the assaulter/harassed is a well liked rich white man like Tim is often even today a career killer.\u201d— Pop Base (@Pop Base) 1674432550
\u201c@PopBase i hate how much women have to endure for existing\u201d— Pop Base (@Pop Base) 1674432550
Allen denied the allegation, telling Variety:
“No, it never happened. I would never do such a thing."
A strong majority had a difficult time believing his side of the story.
\u201c@PopBase This Tim Allen?\u201d— Pop Base (@Pop Base) 1674432550

\u201c@PopBase @RexChapman What a dirtbag creep\u201d— Pop Base (@Pop Base) 1674432550
\u201cTim Allen is trending and I'm not sure people get the full scope of all this. They're making it political, but it's not. It shows how Hollywood is filled with creeps, pervs, and hypocrites. And we've been supporting them all these years. I believe Pam Anderson.\u201d— Ryan (@Ryan) 1674488995
\u201cWonderful. Reports has emerged that Pam Anderson accused Tim Allen of showing her his penis. I believe Pam. I don't believe Tim. Why? He's Republican, Conservative who also was a crackhead.\u201d— MordruGuilt (@MordruGuilt) 1674500206
\u201c@PopBase\u201d— Pop Base (@Pop Base) 1674432550
\u201cI totally believe Tim Allen would show his cock to Pam Anderson lol it's like the most believable thing I've ever read tbh\u201d— James Anthony \ud83c\udf39 (@James Anthony \ud83c\udf39) 1674501368
\u201cEntertaining watching the MAGA cultists not only defend Tim Allen - who dimed out all his friends to skirt a coke possession charge - for exposing himself to Pam Anderson, but ALSO use the false equivalence (and fictional strawman) of drag queens exposing themselves to children.\u201d— Despite Everything, It's Still Me. \ud83c\udf39 (@Despite Everything, It's Still Me. \ud83c\udf39) 1674494167
Accompanying the release of Anderson's memoir will be a companion Netflix documentary focusing on her career titled Pamela, A Love Story also to be released on January 31.
