Pamela Anderson and 's respective cooking shows have made headlines once again. Earlier, the Duchess of Sussex's Netflix series, 'With Love, Meghan,' received backlash for being a rip-off of the senior actress's culinary show. In a recent appearance on 'Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen,' the host asked the 58-year-old about the rumors. The 'Pamela's Cooking with Love' star didn't hesitate to give a straightforward response.

While 'Pamela's Cooking with Love' was released on Prime Video on February 24, 'With Love, Meghan' debuted on Netflix on March 4. Netizens compared the two cooking series and accused the duchess of copying Anderson's. Recently, the 'Baywatch' alum had to respond to the speculations on the talk show, 'Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.' In a segment, 'Plead the Fifth,' Cohen asked, 'On a scale from one to ten, how much of a rip off did you feel like With Love, Meghan was of your show, 'Pamela's Cooking With Love?''

Cohen further probed, asking if she truly didn't find 'any similarities' between the shows. Anderson denied by shaking her head and confessed that she 'didn't really look.'

Set in a rural Vancouver property, the diva hosted dinner parties after the meals were prepared. On the other hand, Markle's reality series showed her cooking and gardening while inviting friends and a few celebrity chefs. Meanwhile, a second season is on the cards for 'With Love, Meghan.'

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.

Pamela Anderson doubles down on Sylvester Stallone's ‘Number 1 Girl' claim: ‘How could you make that up?'
The recent PDA between actors Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson on the red carpet of their latest movie, The Naked Gun, and other events has sparked romance rumors. Pamela was questioned about how Rocky star Sylvester Stallone once offered her a condo and a Porsche to be his 'Number 1 girl' while they were promoting their movie on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live. The Rocky star has since denied these allegations. Pamela Anderson on the denial of Sylvester Stallone 'In your 2023 documentary Pamela, A Love Story, you revealed that Sylvester Stallone asked you to be his number one girl and offered you a condo and a Porsche,' Andy said during a Plead the Fifth game. "What was your reaction to Stallone coming out after the doc was released and saying this was a falsehood?' 'Well, how could you make that up?' Pamela said. "You know? I mean, it was pretty specific.' Pamela jokes, "Not yet," in response to Andy's question about whether Liam had made her an offer of a Porsche. Liam joined in the laughter. Pamela sportingly responded, "Maybe like a Shelby Cobra or something?" before continuing, "No. No. No," when asked if there was another vehicle that might have convinced her to say yes. The documentary by Pamela Anderson In her documentary Pamela, A Love Story, Pamela talked about Sylvester Stallone, saying, 'I remember talking to Sylvester Stallone one time, and he offered me a condo and a Porsche to be his No. 1 girl. And I was like, does that mean there's a No. 2? Uh-uh. He goes, That's the best offer you're gonna get, honey. You're in Hollywood now.' Sylvester's agent denied ever saying that to People after the documentary came out.

Pamela Anderson Reacts To Meghan Markle Copying Rumors
Pamela Anderson isn't feeding into the foolish idea that there's something amiss between her and Meghan Markle. If you cast your mind back to earlier this year, you might recall that some definitely-legit sources were claiming that Meghan's show With Love, Meghan was a copy of Pamela's Cooking with Love. The co-creator of Pamela's show even told the Daily Mail, "We take pride in planting the first seeds – creating original, distinctive programming that audiences love – and it's a compliment to see our work with Ms Anderson resonate so strongly." However, the timelines don't actually make sense for any influence to have taken place, as Meghan's show wrapped filming before a trailer for Pam's series had even come out (and, besides, rich ladies have been making aesthetic shows that feature food for decades). But still, slop is grist for the mill. In the "Plead the Fifth" segment on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Pamela was asked, "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." "One. I didn't," Pamela replied. When pressed on whether she saw any "similarities," she replied, "No, I didn't really look. I mean, I didn't invent cooking shows. She's just doing her thing." Good thing no tabloids are writing about this as if it were a negative exchange!

Pamela Anderson speaks out over claims Meghan Markle 'copied' her cooking show
The Baywatch star has broken her silence over claims that Meghan Markle's lifestyle programme was a direct copy of her cooking show that was released just weeks before Baywatch star Pamela Anderson has spoken out over claims that Meghan Markle 'copied' her cooking show. The allegations emerged when t he Duchess ' Netflix programme With Love, Meghan, was released in March this year, just one week after Pamela's show, titled Pamela's Cooking with Love, aired on Amazon. The premiere of Meghan's lifestyle show was pushed back by two months after the wildfires in California. Now, while promoting her new film The Naked Gun, in which she stars alongside Liam Neeson, Pamela was quizzed over the comparisons of their lifestyle shows. Appearing on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live programme, the show host addressed the viral accusations during a segment called Plead the Fifth. It comes after Meghan Markle's birthday 'gimmick' is quietly shelved after major mistake. Cohen 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?" Anderson, who appeared surprised by the question, replied: 'One – I didn't'. Pressing her on the topic, Cohen again asked: 'One? On a scale from one to 10, you did not see any similarities?' Pamela answered with a laugh: 'No, I didn't really look, but I didn't invent cooking shows. She's just doing her thing." Fans of Anderson's programme were quick to point out the similarities between the two shows when they first aired, noting that Anderson and Meghan both filmed themselves in brightly lit country kitchens, smiling and laughing with guests, while cooking aspirational meals alongside photogenic friends and celebrities. In addition, both women were filmed carrying wicker baskets filled with fruit and vegetables from their gardens, dancing joyfully, and high-fiving their guests. Each series also ran for eight episodes. Anderson is not the only celebrity who Meghan's new lifestyle brand has been compared to, as online commentators have also likened Meghan's brand As Ever to similar projects by Gwyneth Paltrow and Martha Stewart. While Paltrow and Anderson have both been quick to shut down rumours of any beef between them and the Duchess of Sussex, Martha Stewart seemed to be a little more hesitant in her comments about Meghan. During an interview with Yahoo Lifestyle, Martha said of the Duchess: 'Meghan I don't really know very well, and I hope she knows what she's talking about.' 'Authenticity, to me, is everything, and to be authentic and knowledgeable about your subject matter is extremely important.' Although a second season of With Love, Meghan is due to air later this year, recent reports have claimed that Meghan and Harry 's lucrative deal with Netflix will not be renewed when it expires in September. With Love, Meghan failed to break into Netflix's top 300 shows for the first half of 2025, and was outperformed by multiple seasons of the legal drama Suits, in which she starred before she met Prince Harry.
