When it comes to the ins and outs of Hollywood movie investing, Tim Allen knows all too well.
During a recent appearance on “Club Random with Bill Maher,” the 72-year-old comedian recalled a conversation with President Donald Trump about the risks of investing in films and the moment he realized Trump was no longer interested in putting up money.
“He says, ‘If we got a studio together, let’s say the movie costs a million six or a million twenty.’ And then I said, ‘You’ve got to double that at least for the promotion. So you got 210 into a movie, two hundred million into a movie.’ He goes, ‘What if the ticket sales are low?’ ‘You lose.’ And he goes, ’But you got to make up the loss somehow. How do you make up the loss?’ I said, ‘Well, there’ll be some tax benefit, but you lose the money. That’s how come the studios struggle looking for winners. You amortize your loss with losers over winners.’ He goes, ‘Oh.’ Like, he completely decided at that moment, I’m not going to get in this business.”
“He says, ‘If I buy a bad building and it won’t sell, I still have the f—ing building. If you have a sh—y movie…’ This is not an easy business.”

The “Last Man Standing” alum has spoken about his “conservative” views in the past.
During an appearance on the “WTF with Marc Maron” podcast in 2021, Allen was asked about whether he views himself as an “old-school conservative” as opposed to a “right-wing wack job.”
Allen revealed he’s always been a “fiscal, conservative person with money,” while sharing his frustration with the American tax system.
“Once I started making money, I had this silent partner that just took almost half of my money and never gave me anything for it and that was the taxes,” Allen said. “I’ve never liked taxes… That’s it, I don’t like it. I work pretty hard for this stuff and I accomplished a lot, and I was handicapped by my own errors. It’s all my fault, I get that. But I had this silent partner. I never liked taxes.”
Allen confirmed the “silent partner” he was referring to is the “government.”

During the conversation, Allen explained why he’s never been one to openly discuss politics or publicly endorse a political candidate.
“I literally don’t preach anything,” he said. “I’m not telling anybody else how to live. Once I realized that the last president pissed people off, I kind of liked that. So it was fun to just not say anything, [I] didn’t join into the lynching crowd.”

In 2018, Allen recalled one of his first ever meetings with Trump.
“I’ve met [Trump] at [a] charity event years ago, and that certainly doesn’t fit with the man who tweets,” he told Entertainment Weekly at the time. “I’ve met a lot of people in private whose public persona is a bit off. My perception is ‘let’s see what he gets done.’ Let’s stop banging on the pilot’s door and trying to pull the guy out of his seat while he’s still flying. You might not like how he’s flying the plane, but let’s let him land it.”
A new image promoting Toy Story 5 has now been released and shares the first look at Buzz and Woody in the upcoming film. View it below, via The Disney Beat on Twitter.
What else do we know about Toy Story 5?
“The toys are back in Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5, and this time around, it’s Toy meets Tech,” the official synopsis reads. “Buzz, Woody, Jessie, and the rest of the gang’s jobs get exponentially harder when they go head to head with this all-new threat to playtime.”
Pixar’s Pete Docter further told People about the plot, “If you remember from Toy Story 4, Woody has left the kids’ rooms for a life of adventure…helping lost toys in need. Sheriff Jessie is now in charge of Bonnie’s room, with the recently deputized Buzz as assistant deputy. And the rest of the toy crew is still around with their same sassy attitudes, like Hamm, Rex, Slinky, and Mr. Potato Head. But Bonnie is now 8, and she’s become more concerned about being socially connected and making friends, which is why her parents agreed to get her this Lily Pad. It’s a new tech tablet that allows Bonnie to chat with her friends and play games and other things, too. But Lily can also be a bit sneaky and prickly to be around — because in her mind, it’s a lot better to be socialized, and Bonnie needs to move on from toys.”
The film is co-directed by McKenna Harris, while Jessica Choi serves as a producer.
In addition to Allen and Hanks, the voice cast of Toy Story 5 includes Joan Cusack as Jessie, Ernie Hudson as Combat Carl, Tony Hale as Forky, Conan O’Brien as Smarty Pants, and more.
Toy Story 5 will be released on June 19, 2026, from Disney and Pixar.
Tim Allen has recently shared some new information about Toy Story 5, revealing some interesting plot details about the upcoming Pixar sequel.
What did Tim Allen say about Toy Story 5?
Speaking during a recent appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, Allen dove into the highly anticipated upcoming movie. While he couldn’t give away too much, Allen did say that Jessie, the cowgirl doll played by Joan Cusack, plays a large role in the movie.
“It’s such a great story. I can only tell a little bit of it,” Allen said. “It’s a Jessie story, Tom [Hanks] and I have to reunite, and there’s just the funniest thing, because there’s a whole bunch of Buzzes involved. And there’s a reason why there’s a whole bunch of me, so there’s 100 of me in a separate story, and I’m having so much fun.”
Allen also spoke about how he was initially hesitant to return to the movie after 2019’s Toy Story 4, but was eventually convinced by Disney’s Bob Iger. “You wonder if four was too many,” said Allen. “Is five going to be too much? According to the scuttlebutt, the writer that’s doing it wrote one of the better ones, and he said, ‘If I didn’t get this right, I wouldn’t do it.’ So, it could be a very, very interesting way to reunite it.”
The synopsis for Toy Story 5 reads, “The toys are back in Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5, and this time around it’s Toy meets Tech. Buzz, Woody, Jessie, and the rest of the gang’s jobs get exponentially harder when they go head to head with this all-new threat to playtime.”
Toy Story 5 hits theaters on June 19, 2026. Although there are rumors that more movies are in the works, at this time, there’s been no confirmation or announcement from Disney or Pixar regarding any additional Toy Story movies; that being said, Pixar filmmaker and CCO Pete Doctor recently said the company plans on releasing one original film followed by one sequel in the years to come.
Tim Allen is speaking out about how Erika Kirk’s memorial speech “deeply affected” him.
On Thursday, Allen took to X to share that he was personally moved by Kirk’s forgiveness of the man who allegedly killed her husband, Charlie Kirk, since forgiveness has not been as easy for him to give.
“When Erika Kirk spoke the words on the man who killed her husband — ‘That man … that young man … I forgive him’ — that moment deeply affected me.”

“I have struggled for over 60 years to forgive the man who killed my Dad. I will say those words now as I type: ‘I forgive the man who killed my father.’ Peace be with you all,” Allen wrote.
Allen’s father died in 1964 after a drunk driver’s vehicle collided with his vehicle. Allen was 11 years old at the time of his father’s death.
“I have struggled for over 60 years to forgive the man who killed my Dad. I will say those words now as I type: ‘I forgive the man who killed my father.’ Peace be with you all.”
— Tim Allen
At Charlie’s memorial service on Sunday, Erika publicly forgave Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old who is accused of killing the Turning Point USA founder.
“Our Savior said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they not know what they do.’ That young man … I forgive him,” Erika said. “I forgive him because it was what Christ did, and it’s what Charlie would do.”

Charlie was assassinated at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10 in Orem, Utah.
Robinson was arrested and is facing several charges, including aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm, obstruction of justice, witness tampering and violent offense in the presence of a child.
It’s a massive, unsightly hole in the ground — the site of a construction project in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea whose previous owners ran out of money six years ago, leaving behind nothing but concrete, rebar and hard feelings.
In 2020, The Pit was purchased by Patrice Pastor, a billionaire real estate developer from the tiny European nation of Monaco, for $9 million.
Last year, he plopped down $22 million for a much prettier property: Cabin on the Rocks, the only oceanfront home ever designed by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
Jeff Becom, president of the board of the Carmel Art Assn., stands next to the construction eyesore known as “The Pit” in Carmel-by-the-Sea.
And in mid-June, he got approval from the California Coastal Commission for his “visionary plan” to restore public access at Rocky Point, a seaside property he bought for $8 million in nearby Big Sur with views of the iconic Bixby Bridge.
Pastor has been on a buying spree in and around Carmel-by-the-Sea, dropping more than $100 million on at least 18 properties over the last decade. So much so that his presence has become a source of intrigue, and for some, downright suspicion, in this moneyed one-square-mile town of 3,200 people.
Pastor bought the Hog’s Breath Building, the site of the pub once owned by actor Clint Eastwood. He bought the L’Auberge Carmel hotel, which houses a Michelin star restaurant. He snapped up the Der Ling building, a 1924 shop, done in fairytale-style architecture next to a stone pathway leading to a hidden garden.
“When someone comes in with so much money and can use that money for influence on so many things, that’s … scary in any community,” said Dee Borsella, who owns a custom pajama shop across from The Pit. “Every person has the right to do this. But why is he picking Carmel?”

Pastor is the scion of a powerful real estate family that built much of mega-rich Monaco, a dense, one-square-mile nation on the French Riviera.
He says he first came to Carmel-by-the-Sea at age 7 during a trip with his father, and that he had never seen his dad more relaxed. The memory stuck with him. He now owns multiple homes in town and visits several times a year.
“It’s not like he picked up a book one day and was like, ‘Let me find the best place to invest.’ It’s that he personally loves it here,’” said Claire Totten, a spokeswoman for Esperanza Carmel LLC, the local branch of his international real estate company.
Still, Pastor has created quite the buzz in this gracefully aging town where, according to Zillow, the typical home price is $2.2 million.
During a scuffle last summer, the city administrator took a swing at an art gallery owner who accused local officials of being xenophobic for slowing one of Pastor’s projects. And the billionaire’s local real estate portfolio burst into international headlines this year after an article by SF Gate quoted an anonymous business owner who said people were “terrified” of his intentions.
Soon afterward, Pastor showed up to a City Council meeting via Zoom and said he would “like to inform those who feel terrified by my presence” that he would be in town a few days later: “So I suggest they either take a vacation during this period or come and meet me for a relaxation class.”
Pastor — who, according to the French newspaper Le Monde, has squabbled over lucrative development contracts with associates of Monaco’s Prince Albert II — has more humble antagonists in Carmel-by-the-Sea: the City Council, the Planning Commission and the Historic Resources Board.
The city has rejected several of his design proposals, including two for The Pit.
Development — including upgrades to private homes — is notoriously slow here. The city strictly regulates architecture to maintain the so-called village character of this woodsy place. Carmel uses no street addresses (people give their homes whimsical names instead), and has no streetlights or sidewalks in residential areas.
The Mrs. Clinton Walker House is the the only oceanfront home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Eastwood, who was mayor in the 1980s, got involved in local politics after fighting with the City Council over what he said were unreasonable restrictions on the design of an office building he wanted to erect. Pastor now owns that building.
Pastor “loves that it’s a bit idiosyncratic,” Totten said. “Carmel is a little bit etched in time. The world moves on, but Carmel is still Carmel.”
Pastor’s local defenders question whether he is being discriminated against because he is too rich.
“He’s had a hard time with the city,” said Karyl Hall, co-chair of the Carmel Preservation Assn. “It’s one thing after another after another. They’ve just beaten him down incredibly.”
“There’s no question that he gets more scrutiny,” said Tim Allen, a real estate agent who has handled most of Pastor’s local purchases, including the Frank Lloyd Wright residence, also known as the Mrs. Clinton Walker House.
Completed in 1952 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the architectural jewel had been kept within the original owner’s family until Pastor bought it in February 2023. The 1,400-square-foot house, on a rocky bluff jutting into Carmel Bay, has a hexagonal living room and stone masonry walls shaped like a ship’s prow cutting through the waves.
In a 1945 letter to Wright, artist Della Walker wrote: “I am a woman living alone — I wish protection from the wind and privacy from the road and a house as enduring as the rocks but as transparent and charming as the waves and as delicate as a seashore. You are the only man who can do this — will you help me?”
The architect replied: “Dear Mrs. Walker: I liked your letter, brief and to the point.”
“There’s no question that he gets more scrutiny,” real estate agent Tim Allen says of Monaco billionaire Patrice Pastor, whose land purchases in Carmel-by-the-Sea have generated suspicion.
Allen said Pastor’s purchase includes the original furniture, because “he’s buying a piece of history” — albeit one that “needs a ton of work,” including an expensive new roof.
Last spring, Esperanza Carmel LLC, applied for a Mills Act contract for the site, a tax break for owners of historic properties who commit to restoring and preserving them. Although the City Council had approved such a contract for the home’s previous owner, some council members balked at giving the tax break — a saving of an estimated $1.5 million over 10 years — to Pastor and postponed a decision for several months.
One resident, in a letter to the City Council, wrote: “I doubt the applicant is in financial hardship … I’m not in favor of giving handouts to ultra wealthy property owners.”
Before the council approved the tax break this spring, city officials tried to persuade Pastor to give public tours of the house and to make direct payments to local schools (which are partly funded by property taxes) — requests not made of applicants for other properties. Pastor refused.
Via Zoom, Pastor told the council he would “maintain this wonderful house in perfect condition, even if only to continue to bother those jealous people who will never have access to it.”
City officials are waging another only-in-Carmel fight with Pastor over a mixed-use development and subterranean parking garage on Dolores Street that he has been trying to build for more than three years.
Plans submitted to the city in 2021 called for the demolition of a former bank annex once used as a community room. Because it was less than 50 years old, it did not qualify as a historic structure — but after it turned 50 in October 2022, the Carmel Historic Resources Board voted to add it to the city’s historic resources list.
Pastor agreed to build around the annex.
Then, another issue arose: The project would require the removal of a small concrete wall, decorated with exposed aggregate and inlaid rocks, built in 1972 by a man local historians dubbed the “father of stamped concrete.”
The City Council last fall said the wall was too important to be moved and sent Pastor’s company back to the drawing board.
Allen, the real estate agent, decried the delays as petty grievances. Pastor’s proposed developments, he said, will add apartments, parking and public restrooms — all of which are sorely needed.
Carmel-by-the-Sea relies on the tourists drawn to its cottages, courtyards and secret passageways.
Carmel-by-the-Sea strictly regulates development to maintain its village character. The city uses no street addresses. Instead, people give their homes whimsical names.
“He doesn’t just buy to terrorize people,” Allen said. “He buys because it’s a good investment.”
Mayor Dave Potter said it is tough for anybody to build here and that Pastor is being treated fairly.
“We pride ourselves on our uniqueness,” he said. “You don’t get to just come in and build whatever you want. We don’t care if you’re a movie star or a mega-millionaire. You have to play by the same rules everybody else does.”
Hall and Neal Kruse, co-chairs of the grassroots Carmel Preservation Assn., are adamant, if surprising, supporters of Pastor.
They believe modern architecture — which they describe as ‘Anywhere, USA’ buildings with sterile facades and box-like structures — poses an existential threat to Carmel-by-the-Sea, which depends on tourists drawn to its cottages, courtyards and secret passageways.
Hall, a retired research psychologist, said she talks regularly with Pastor, whom she described as “so nice, so charming and so heartfelt,” and noted that he has several modern-architecture projects in the works overseas.
“He said, ‘Karyl, you’d hate them,’” she said, laughing.
Hall and Kruse started the preservation association in response to the first proposal for The Pit, a contemporary design approved by the Planning Commission for the previous owners. They called that planned edifice “the ice box.”
Hall said they were heartened by Pastor, who proposed more traditional buildings for The Pit.
Longtime residents “remember Carmel, and we remember the sacredness of it and why people come here,” said Kruse, an architectural designer. “We’re the ones that are largely concerned about the loss of character. But Patrice played a central role in reassuring the residents that he would help that not happen.”
Karyl Hall, left, and Neal Kruse started the Carmel Preservation Assn. Longtime residents “remember Carmel, and we remember the sacredness of it and why people come here,” Kruse says.
Over more than two years, the Planning Commission rejected two Esperanza Carmel designs for The Pit before approving a third last August for a mixed-use project with apartments, stores and an underground parking garage. Construction has not yet begun.
The 91-year home of the Carmel Art Assn. — of which surrealist painter Salvador Dali was a member — is next door to The Pit. The demolition of two buildings there, which started in 2017, caused the art gallery to shift so much that it damaged its new roof, which started “leaking all over the place,” said Jeff Becom, president of the art association’s board.
“It’s on a sand dune. You dig a big hole and you vibrate it for several weeks, it starts to slip,” Becom said. “It’s an important place, and we didn’t want it to fall into The Pit.”
With Pastor’s plans, “I have much more hope than I’ve had for some time,” he said.
Across the street, Borsella, owner of the sleepwear shop Ruffle Me to Sleep, is more dubious. She keeps prints of the architectural designs tucked under colorful tissue paper because customers ask her about The Pit every day.
Dee Borsella, owner of Ruffle Me to Sleep, says Patrice Pastor seems to be on a charm offensive “to ease the collective opinion that somebody’s invading our property, our town.”
Borsella, who used to work in one of the now-demolished buildings, thinks Pastor’s planned complex is too big. She doesn’t like its mezzanine. And she does not think the city should compromise its building standards just because people are sick of looking at a hole in the ground.
Pastor, she said, seems to be on a charm offensive “to ease the collective opinion that somebody’s invading our property, our town.” A few weeks ago, he stopped in her shop to introduce himself.
“I’m a bit of a lion,” she said. “I knew he was kind of trying to come over and pet me. I felt like he was trying to win me over.”
In 2021, Pastor bought another coastal gem in Big Sur, about 10 miles south of Carmel-by-the-Sea: a 2.5-acre cliffside parcel off Highway 1 occupied by the closed Rocky Point Restaurant.
Pastor inherited a slew of issues with the land, including investigations by the California Coastal Commission into unpermitted development by the previous owners and the use of locked gates and “No Trespassing” signs to block access to public land.
The Coastal Commission struck a deal with Pastor to clear the violations and potential fines if he restores the poison oak-covered bluffs and trails and removes the gates. Pastor also agreed to add public bathrooms, parking and electric vehicle chargers.
The deal is limited to clearing the violations — not the redevelopment or reopening of the restaurant.
Jeff Davisson takes in the view from a bluff on Rocky Point in Big Sur.
On a recent blue-sky Monday, Jay Davisson, chief executive of a Carmel-by-the-Sea luxury home-building firm, led family members visiting from Detroit and Tampa, Fla., to a bluff top on the property where they could see the Bixby Bridge.
Davisson, who recently moved to Carmel from Atlanta, said he considered buying Rocky Point, but it was “a little too expensive.” He loves Pastor’s plans to restore access — and has been closely following the news and scuttlebutt about his other purchases.
In such a small town, he said, “everybody talks. But I like the fact that it’s growing.”
Despite decades of playing St. Nick across The Santa Clause trilogy and its follow-up Disney+ series, actor Tim Allen is sorely lacking in the jolly department, according to his onetime costar Casey Wilson.
On a recent episode of her Bitch Sesh podcast, Wilson recounted how working alongside Allen on an episode of The Santa Clauses was “the truly single worst experience I’ve ever had with a costar ever,” as reported by Variety. She guest-starred in the pilot, an episode of television titled “Chapter One: Good to Ho” that aired in November 2022. Wilson played the grown-up version of a kid character from the original 1994 film. “Tim Allen was such a bitch,” Wilson reportedly said on the podcast, adding that she had previously “buried this” story because a producer on the series is “a great friend” and because her kids “loved the movies.”
Per Variety, the actor then broke down the scene she filmed with Allen, in which her character begins throwing things at his Santa, thinking he’s a burglar. “[He] goes over to the producer who is standing four feet from me and goes, and I hear him, he goes, ‘You gotta tell her to stop stepping on my lines,’” Wilson said. “The producer turns to me with horror on his face and has to walk one foot to me and he goes, ‘Um, Tim would ask that you stop stepping on his lines.’”
Wilson added that “everybody was walking on eggshells” around Allen on set, and “people just looked frantic…. When he was done, he was so fucking rude. Never made eye contact, never said anything. It was so uncomfortable.”
Allen serves as star and executive producer on The Santa Clauses, a streaming continuation of the beloved Disney trilogy—1994’s The Santa Clause, 2002’s The Santa Clause 2, and 2006’s The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause. Two seasons of the show are available on Disney+; there’s no word on a third season just yet.
According to Variety, after Wilson completed one shot of her close-up coverage, she said Allen promptly left the set without alerting his fellow costars or crew members. “It’s the end, and Tim Allen goes, ‘Leaving!’ Takes his Santa cape, picks it up, and drops it on the floor and walks out,” she said. “And they hustle in his stand-in; lovely man, who was much nicer to act against. People are scurrying to pick up his velvet Santa coat. He’s a bitch. And this is the best…I will not say who said this. This was someone that I do not know, perhaps in the crew. [He or she] breezes past me and just goes, ‘You’re seeing him on a good day.’”
This isn’t the first time Allen has found himself on the naughty list for alleged on-set misconduct. In January of this year, his Home Improvement costar Pamela Anderson alleged in her memoir that on the first day she filmed the ABC sitcom, Allen “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.” In an email to Vanity Fair at the time, Allen denied the allegation via his publicist, saying, “No, it never happened. I would never do such a thing.”
VF has reached out to reps for Allen and the Disney+ series for comment.
The former “Home Improvement” star Tim Allen, who has long been known as one of the only openly Christian conservative stars in Hollywood, has been hit with a damning accusation of bad behavior on the set of “The Santa Clauses by one of his co-stars.

Casey Wilson, who only appeared in the pilot episode of the Disney+ series “The Santa Clauses,” claimed on her B**** Sesh podcast this week that Allen was “f**king rude” to her when they filmed their scene.
“Tim Allen was such a b—h,” said Wilson, who is best known for a short sting on “Saturday Night Live” from 2008-2009. “Worst, truly single worst experience I’ve ever had with a co star ever.”
E! Online reported that Wilson, 43, plays an older version of the lactose intolerant character Sara, who thinks Allen’s Santa is a burglar when she catches him entering her home.
“So I’m in a scene. It’s just me and Tim Allen and I’m supposed to throw things at him,” Wilson explained. “He’s coming down the chimney, obviously as Santa. And I am woken up thinking there’s an intruder—basically like a home invasion scene.”
Wilson alleged that Allen, 70, didn’t like her performance, so he walked over to a producer who was standing near her.
“I basically hear him—he goes, ‘You gotta tell her to stop stepping on my lines,’” Wilson continued. “The producer turns to me with horror on his face and has to walk one foot to me and he goes, ‘Tim would ask that you stopped stepping on his lines.’”
“When he was done, he was so f–king rude,” she added. “Never made eye contact, never said anything. It was so uncomfortable.”
Wilson also claimed that Allen has everyone “walking on eggshells” whenever he is on set, according to Fox News. She alleged that as soon as their scene was over, Allen left the set.
“It’s the end, and Tim Allen goes, ‘Leaving!,’ takes his Santa cape, picks it up and drops it on the floor and walks out,” Wilson explained. “And they hustle in his stand-in; lovely man, who was much nicer to act against. People are scurrying to pick up his velvet Santa coat. He’s a b—-.”
“And this is the best,” she concluded. “I will not say who said this. This was someone that I do not know, perhaps in the crew. [He or she] breezes past me and just goes, ‘You’re seeing him on a good day.’”
At the time of this writing, Allen has yet to respond publicly to Wilson’s claims.
After starring in three Santa Clause movies, Allen brought back the character for the Disney+ series in 2022, and season 2 of the show premiered last month.
“As I walked on set for the first time in the full regalia, everybody got very quiet, both adults and kids,” Allen said last year. “When I show up dressed in the full suit and everything else, there’s big smiles on people’s faces. Little kids are quiet. I had totally forgotten that. It does feel like Santa’s in the room.”
Find out more about Wilson’s claims against Allen in the video below.
Allen has long been one of the only openly conservative stars in Hollywood.
“Well I’m what they call fiscal conservative, I like problem-solving, and problem-solving usually originates for my family — there was nine kids, and my single mom for a while, and a lot of it was about ‘How are we gonna pay for this?’” he previously said in 2015, according to The Sun.
“I’ve worked different jobs and I’ve had a colorful past and I pay a lot in taxes,” he told Entertainment Weekly in 2018. “I wish we got more for our money. Whatever political party is for more responsible use of our money—that’s all I meant.”
Given how liberal Hollywood is these days, this has only made Allen more of a target from attacks and unproven claims by leftists. Do you buy Wilson’s allegations about Allen, or could this just be another attempt to take a conservative star down? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
Now is the time to support and share the sources you trust. The Political Insider ranks #3 on Feedspot’s “100 Best Political Blogs and Websites.”
In an excerpt of Pamela’s Anderson‘s memoir, shared with Variety prior to its release next week, the Canadian actor alleges that Tim Allen exposed his naked body to her on the set of Home Improvement when she was just 23 years old.
At the time, Allen would have been 37. He has denied the allegations.
Anderson, 55, writes in Love, Pamela, “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.”
The excerpt obtained by Variety doesn’t mention how Allen may have seen Anderson naked, but he could be referring to Anderson’s time modelling for Playboy magazine. (Her infamous sex tape with ex Tommy Lee that leaked to the public was still five years away.)
Home Improvement was an award-winning sitcom that starred Allen as Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor and Anderson as Lisa the Tool Girl. After two seasons, Anderson left to pursue her breakout role in Baywatch, which would catapult the small-town Vancouver Island resident to global fame.
Anderson’s memoir, Love, Pamela, is set to be published on Jan. 31, the same day that Netflix documentary Pamela, a Love Story will premiere.
