Pamela Anderson has doubled down on her claim that Tim Allen exposed himself to her on her first day of filming on Home Improvement.
Over the weekend, excerpts were released from the Baywatch alum's forthcoming memoir Love, Pamela, in which she alleged that Allen showed her his penis without her consent. The alleged incident took place in 1991 when she was 23 years old and he was 37.
Home Improvement was one of Anderson's first acting credits, where she played Lisa the Tool Girl in what ultimately became one of the most popular TV shows in the US. She was in the the ABC sitcom for the first two seasons before she left to focus on the hit NBC drama Baywatch, which catapulted her to international stardom and elevated her sex symbol status.
However, it was on her first day filming Home Improvement that the now-55-year-old allegedly experienced sexual misconduct at the hands of Allen, now 69.
She wrote in her upcoming memoir: "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."

Allen immediately denied that such an indiscretion had ever taken place, saying: "No, it never happened. I would never do such a thing."
Anderson has now shared a follow-up statement with Vanity Fair, telling the outlet: "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."
As cited by Vanity Fair, Anderson went on to write in her memoir: "It was the first of many bizarre encounters where people felt they knew me enough to make absolute fools out of themselves.
"Here you go, Tim, was my only line every episode, and when they decided to expand my part, it was, Here you go, Tim. Have a nice day."
Despite earning less on Baywatch than she did on Home Improvement, Anderson maintains: "I ended up making my career choice based on quality of life."
Elsewhere in the memoir, Anderson opens up about her infamous relationship with her ex-husband Tommy Lee, including mentions of their stolen sex tape.
