From drug trafficking to penis-flashing: The many controversies of Tim Allen
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Pamela Anderson has made some shocking revelations in her upcoming memoir. Recalling one of her early experiences in the entertainment industry, the 55-year-old narrated a disturbing encounter with co-star Tim Allen. Anderson alleges that Allen, who was 37 at the time, flashed his penis at her on the set of 'Home Improvement' in 1991. Anderson was 23 years old when the incident took place.
This is not the first time Allen has been embroiled in a controversy. According to a report in Distractify, Allen received a DUI, said that he "liked" Donald Trump, and railed against "wokeness" and Joe Biden. However, his arrest for drug trafficking, and now an incident of sexual harassment have been the most shocking ones.

Penis-flashing as alleged by Pamela Anderson
In her memoir 'Love Pamela' which Variety acquired before its release on January 31, Anderson writes, “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." Allen was most likely referring to Anderson’s modeling for Playboy when he flashed her.
"I would never do such a thing" Allen told Variety and added that the incident Anderson described "never happened." The memoir predominantly talks about Anderson’s advancement from a small-town girl in Vancouver to one of the most recognizable personalities in the world.
Drug trafficking arrest
On October 2, 1978, just two years after his graduation, Allen was arrested for possession of more than 650 grams of cocaine. He was just 24 years old at the time. According to the book Tim Allen (Overcoming Adversity) by John F Wukovit, Allen was set up by an undercover police officer Michael Pifer, who had been tracking him for months, reported FarOut Magazine. Allen reportedly put a bag containing more 650 grams of cocaine in a locker and gave the key to the locker to Pifer.
Allen took a risk and decided to face a court hearing. He pled guilty to the trafficking charges and handed over important information pertaining to the names of associate dealers in return for a lighter sentence. After his final hearings came to an end, he faced a prison sentence of three to seven years and later ended up serving only two years and four months due to positive and apologetic behavior.
