Variety has published an excerpt from Pamela Anderson’s upcoming memoir Love, Pamela in which she alleges that Tim Allen flashed her on the set of Home Improvement in 1991 (when she was 23 and he was 37).
As the outlet notes, Pamela played Lisa the Tool Girl on the show and was in the first two seasons before leaving to pursue Baywatch full-time.
“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,” Pamela writes, according to Variety. “He said it was only fair because he had seen me naked. Now we’re even. I laughed uncomfortably.”
Tim has denied the accusations, saying in a statement to Variety and Vanity Fair, “No, it never happened. I would never do such a thing.”
Love, Pamela debuts on January 31, the same day as Netflix’s documentary about Pamela’s life. Pamela announced the doc on Instagram, writing, “My life. A thousand imperfections. A million misperceptions. Wicked, wild, and lost. Nothing to live up to. I can only surprise you. Not a victim but a survivor and alive to tell the real story.”
She also told Netflix website Tudum, “I was very hesitant, but looking back, I feel empowered. And I hope that [my story] inspires people to have a great fucking time and not worry so much.”
