Pamela Anderson dismisses 'rip-off' comments about Duchess Meghan's 'With Love' show
Pamela Anderson isn't cooking up beef with Duchess Meghan. "Watch What Happens Live" host Andy Cohen asked The "Naked Gun" star about comparisons between her show and the royal's buzzy Netflix project during a segment on the Sunday, Aug. 3, episode dubbed "Plead the Fifth." "On a scale from one to 10, how much of a rip-off did you feel like 'With Love, Meghan' was of your show, 'Pamela's Cooking With Love?'" Cohen asked Anderson. "There were articles saying these two shows were very similar." "One," Anderson said, rating the shows' similarities. When Cohen asked again if she saw a resemblance, Anderson said, "I didn't." She repeated her answer instead of throwing a dash of shade: "I didn't really look, but I didn't invent cooking shows. She's just doing her thing." Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson and those endless relationship rumors The Bravo personality also asked the "Last Showgirl" star about ranking her four ex-husbands from "favorite to least favorite," which costar and rumored romantic partner Liam Neeson said was "not fair." When the Duchess of Sussex released the trailer for her much-anticipated Netflix lifestyle show "With Love, Meghan," in January, fans pointed out that Anderson's cooking show title also featured "with love." Meghan reentered public life this year and launched a pair of pre-Prince Harry-inspired pursuits – her Netflix show and the companion brand As Ever – five years after the pair first stepped back from their roles as senior working royals for the British royal family in January 2020. A second season of Meghan's "With Love" is set to be released this fall. Before meeting Harry, Meghan was the curator of a successful lifestyle blog, The Tig. Meghan's show has received backlash from viewers and critics alike but she has also garnered a loyal following in her return to public life. In recent years, Anderson, too, has reemerged as a leading lady, known for a softer image versus the years she was portrayed as a Hollywood sex symbol. She landed her first Golden Globe nomination this year for her performance in "The Last Showgirl." Her starring role alongside A-list actor Neeson in "Naked Gun" is the latest chapter in her story of reclamation after years of being defined by the tabloids.

As Ever/Instagram Why It Matters Meghan's Netflix show has faced a barrage of criticism from reviewers across the U.S. media as well as the many social media users who routinely mock the duchess. And Meghan's five-year deal with the streaming giant ends in September, raising questions about whether it will be renewed. In that context, Meghan might well find it something of a relief to hear someone come to her defense. What To Know Cohen, previously a guest on Meghan's first podcast Archetypes, asked Anderson: "On a scale from one to 10, how much of a rip-off did you feel like With Love, Meghan was of your show, Pamela's Cooking With Love? There were articles saying that these two shows were very similar." Anderson replied: "One. I didn't." Cohen said: "One? On a scale from one to 10, you did not see any similarities?"

She's just doing her thing." A clip of the exchange was viewed more than 92,000 times after being on X with the message: "Pamela about being compared to 'With love, Meghan.'" What People Are Saying One post on social media read: "Meghan Markle copied Pamela Andersons gestures right down to hand-movements in her Netflix show." Another account wrote: "Meghan Markle's With Love, Meghan vs. Pamela Anderson's Pamela's Cooking With Love? The difference couldn't be clearer. One is a genuine celebration of food, family, and authenticity, while the other is a shallow, copy cat attempt to sell a polished image."

One is a genuine celebration of food, family, and authenticity, while the other is a shallow, copy cat attempt to sell a polished image. Pamela's show... — Meghan Markle Parody (@queenofmemes80) February 24, 2025 "Pamela's show exudes warmth. She highlights chefs and their craft, focusing on family, making it relatable to anyone who values good company and fresh home-cooked meals. It's down-to-earth, inviting, and real." Others defended the duchess, with one writing: "The British Media fetish of creating imaginary enemies and scenario about Meghan Sussex and EVERY Famous Person, that walks this earth needs to be studied. So happy Pamela Anderson & Gwyneth Paltrow didn't entertain the #TBM and the never ending fantasies they continue to create." Another said: "She also said she didn't invent cooking shows, & Meghan is doing her thing. Absolutely. Meghan is doing her own thing. She's living life on her terms. Good on Pamela for refusing to join in the hate campaign against Meghan. It's nice to see there's still decent & honest people about." What Happens Next Meghan has until September to renegotiate the Netflix TV deal she signed with Prince Harry in September 2020. Netflix is also an equity partner in her lifestyle business As Ever, which launches its latest wine, a 2024 rosé, on Tuesday. Jack Royston is chief royal correspondent for Newsweek, based in London.

Pamela Anderson finally gives her verdict on Meghan Markle 'copying' her cooking show
Pamela Anderson has finally spoken out on claims Meghan Markle 'ripped off' her cooking programme - that was released just before Meghan's own Netlix show Pamela Anderson has revealed what she really thinks of Meghan Markle's Netflix show - after it drew comparisons with her own cooking programme that was released a few days before. The ex-Baywatch star released 'Pamela's Cooking With Love' in February 2025. It premiered on the Flavour Network in Cananda before dropping on Amazon Prime, where UK viewers can currently watch it. It follows the 58-year-old, who has been vegan for more than 30 years, as she "invites some of today's most sought-after chefs to join her on a stunning rural property on Vancouver Island, where together, they'll prepare delicious plant-based meals." Then in March, 'With Love, Meghan' premiered on Netflix, following the Duchess of Sussex as she "invites friends and famous guests to a beautiful California estate, where she shares cooking, gardening and hosting tips. At the time Meghan was accused of 'copying' Pamela's new lifestyle series - with the two shows even sharing similar names. And the trailer for Pamela's show was released in October 2024, nearly three months before Meghan dropped hers. There is even similar dialogue, with Pamela explaining how "I just always have wanted to take things to another level". While Meghan declares: "I've always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it." Both women are also seen high-fiving guests in the short snippets. Fans were quick to notice the similarities, with one noting on X: "The entire concept is strikingly similar." As another vented: "Markle's show is a straight copy of Pamela Anderson's cooking and entertaining show. Go look at the trailer!" A third posted: "If you watch the trailer for Pamela's new show, it's a more authentic version of what Meghan was trying to achieve & it looks as though Meghan has copied everything! The trailers are so similar it's freaky." Now Pamela - who remained tight-lipped earlier this year - has had her say on what she thinks of the 'copycat' claims. Appearing on US chat show 'Watch What Happens Live', she played a game of 'Plead the Fifth' with host Andy Cohen. During the quick fire segment, she was asked: "On a scale of 1 to 10, how much of a rip off did you feel like With Love, Meghan was of your show Pamela's Cooking With Love? There were articles saying these two shows were very similar." Pamela replied: "One," to which a shocked Andy said: "One? You didn't see any similarities?" Keeping things cordial, the actress went on to say: "No, but I didn't really look. I didn't invent cooking shows or anything," before adding of Meghan: "She's just doing her thing." She was then asked about Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone denying her claim that he once offered her a "condo and a Porsche to become his number one girl". There was no hesitation from Pamela as she replied: "Come on, why would I make that up?" But the question she dodged and used her 'Plead the Fifth' on was 'Rank your husbands from favourite to least favourite' referring to her four marriages to Tommy Lee, Kid Rock, Rick Salomon and Dan Hayhurst.
