Former sex icon and Playboy bunny Pamela Anderson claimed actor Tim Allen flashed her over thirty years ago on the set of “Home Improvement.”
Allen says it never happened as critics say she’s making a desperate cry for attention.
Doubling-down on his denial, Allen revealed hat executives at ABC/Disney are “disappointed” in her, suggesting that she has a poor memory.

When asked if his memory is good, Allen responded, “Yeah.”
“No, it never happened. I would never do such a thing,” he explained.
This allegation against Allen comes as part of a new memoir that Anderson is published and undoubtedly hopes will be extremely profitable.

The alleged incident would have taken place in 1991 before the taping of the “Home Improvement” pilot episode.
According to Variety, Anderson alleges that Allen flashed her, and she wrote that 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.”
“I think it’s hard to play somebody when you don’t know the whole picture. I said to Netflix, ‘I’d love to invite Lily to the premiere of the movie, I’ve got nothing against her’. I think that she’s a beautiful girl and she was just doing the job.” – Pamela Anderson to @Variety pic.twitter.com/rdNgLqV4bl

Anderson said, “This true story is just one of many surreal and uncomfortable situations I learned to navigate.”
“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 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.”
