Pamela Anderson Expertly Shut Down An Opportunity To Hate On Meghan Markle
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 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 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!
