“She was a great co-worker, I’ll tell you that. She’s a fun girl,” Allen, 69, tells the DailyMail. “Everybody loved her, but everybody at ABC was a little disappointed in her… memory, put it that way. All of us at Disney/ABC, really.”

When the paper asks him if he still has a good memory of his time working with her, Allen replies, “Yeah.”

Anderson makes the shocking accusations in his recently released memoir, Love, Pamelawhich is in stores now.

“On the first day of filming, I walked out of my dressing room, and Tim was in the hallway in his robes. 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.”

Allen vehemently shot down her story telling Variety, “No, it never happened. I would never do such a thing.”

Despite her bombshell claim, Anderson, who played Lisa the Tool Girl for two seasons, seems to have defended Allen in an interview with Varietysaying she’s not a “judgmental person.”

“Tim is a comedian, it’s his job to cross the line. I’m sure he had no bad intentions,” the Baywatch actress says. “Times have changed, though. I doubt anyone would try that post #MeToo. It’s a new world.”

In an accompanying Netflix documentary, Pamela, a love storythe Barb Wire the actress goes on to describe an interaction with actor Sylvester Stallone, who allegedly “offered me a condo and a Porsche to be his ‘No. 1 girl.’”

“And I was like, ‘Does that mean there’s No. 2? Uh-uh,’” the mother-of-two says in the doc, according to the New York Post. “He goes, ‘That’s the best offer you’re gonna get, honey. You’re in Hollywood now.’ … (But) I wanted to be in love. I didn’t want anything less than that.”

Anderson said she turned the offer down, and Stallone denied her accusations in a statement to PEOPLE.

“The statement from Pamela Anderson attributed to my client is false and fabricated,” said his rep. “Mr. Stallone confirmed that he never made any portion of that statement.”

Ryan White, the director of Pamela, a love storysays that despite Allen and Stallone’s emphatic denials, he believes the former Playboy Playmate’s assertions.

“Of course, I totally believe Pamela because I think she’s always honest in everything — about her own shortcomings, but also about other people’s,” White tells Variety in response to Allen and Stallone’s repudiations. “That was our conversation at the beginning of this [process]. She was, ‘I spent so much of my life protecting other people. And I’m not I’m trying not to do that as much anymore.’”

White went on to add that the alleged incidents with Allen and Stallone weren’t life-changing ones for Anderson.

“Pamela doesn’t see these as huge junctures in her life,” the filmmaker says. “They’re just moments that she tells you about as she’s rattling off a story.”

After Anderson’s story about Allen swept the Internet, an old clip from Home Improvements started making the rounds that showed the comedian appearing to lift his kilt in front of his co-star and on-screen wife, Patricia Richardson.

Richardson has since responded to the now-viral clip, saying there was nothing salacious about the Toy Story star’s actions.

“People ask me what was under the kilt when he flashed me, he was well-dressed under there, I was just shocked that he lifted the kilt, not by a man in boxer shorts,” the actress told TMZ.

Elsewhere in the book, Anderson recounts a night she witnessed actor Jack Nicholson having a threesome in the Playboy Mansion.

“Mr. Nicholson had two beautiful women with him,” Anderson wrote in the book.

“They were all giggling and kissing up against the wall, sliding all over each other. I walked by to use the mirror, bending over the sink to fix my lip gloss,” she continued.

The 55-year-old BC native, who described her outfit that evening consisting of acid-washed jeans and a rock ‘n’ roll T-shirt, said she then became an unwitting accomplice in Nicholson’s pas de trois.

“Trying not to look, but I couldn’t help myself and caught his eye in the reflection. I guess that got him to the finish line, because he made a funny noise, smiled and said, ‘Thanks, dear.’”
