A brief note on Pamela Anderson and Tim Allen’s scandle
While people didn’t really take much notice of her acting skills, one thing is sure: she has never gotten the type of recognition that other talented stars have gained. The Raw Justice actress previously told Variety that she is much more than just a s*x symbol. She bravely shared times when powerful people in the industry mistreated her while she was rising in her professional career.
One of her shocking claims involves her co-star from Home Improvement, Tim Allen. The actress recalls in her memoir that during the filming of the famous sitcom in April 1991, Anderson discovered that Allen was strolling the hallway in his bathrobe. And he swiftly opened his bathrobe to flash Anderson while completely naked underneath. According to the actress, Allen told her at the time that it was only fair to see him naked because he had seen her that way too. Upon hearing the claims, the actor responded to the same by denying that such a situation has never happened between the two.
Pamela Anderson recalls her painful experience before posing for Playboy
As the actress is currently busy with interviews after the release of her bombshell memoir, many media outlets and entertainment talk shows have called the actress to hear about her experiences while writing her book and filming her documentary.
This week, Pamela Anderson was in conversation with ET Canada and shared how posing for Playboy magazine for the first time in 1989 opened many doors for her and allowed her to take full control of her life. The actress told the reporter, that she was painfully shy before she appeared on the cover of the famous fashion magazine.
The Barb Wire actress shared, “The shyness was something that was so debilitating. When I was little, I would wear a hat over my head and pull the hole closed so I could only see out this much.” She continued, “I hated the way I looked; I hated everything. I was so shy, and I always thought everybody was pretty, and I just didn’t have that confidence in myself.”
Pamela Anderson further said, “I did my first photo shoot with Playboy… it was the first flash when I opened my eyes, and it felt like I was falling off a cliff. It really felt like I was just allowing instead of trying to control. And it was my first feeling of freedom.
