Pamela Anderson addresses Meghan Markle plagiarism accusations over cooking show

Pamela Anderson has finally addressed speculation that Meghan Markle copied her cooking show concept for the Netflix series With Love, Meghan and she doesn’t appear to be bothered.

During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live on Sunday, host Andy Cohen asked the Baywatch actor to weigh in on comparisons between her upcoming series Pamela’s Cooking With Love and Meghan’s culinary show, which premiered earlier this year.

“On a scale from one to 10, how much of a rip-off did you feel like With Love, Meghan was of your show?” Cohen asked.

Anderson, 58, responded bluntly: “One. I didn’t really look, but I mean, I didn’t invent cooking shows.”

“She’s just doing her thing,” suggesting she harbours no ill will toward the Duchess of Sussex.

Meghan, 44, faced backlash earlier this year when the trailer for her Netflix show drew comparisons to Anderson’s own cooking series. 

Critics pointed out similarities in tone, setting, and the personal storytelling style layered into the culinary content.
