Pamela Anderson has finally responded to the comparisons between her and Meghan Markle’s cooking shows.
The “Baywatch” actress, 58, appeared on Andy Cohen’s “Watch What Happens Live” Sunday with rumored beau Liam Neeson and was asked if she thought Markle, 44, copied “Pamela’s Cooking With Love” in her Netflix series “With Love, Meghan.”
“On a scale from 1 to 10, how much did you think a rip off did you feel like ‘With Love, Meghan’ was of your show, ‘Pamela’s Cooking With Love?’” Cohen, 57, asked Anderson.
“1,” a perplexed Anderson replied.
“I didn’t,” she added.
When Cohen asked Anderson if she thought there were “any similarities” between the two shows, she responded, “I didn’t really look. I didn’t invent cooking shows.”
“So, I mean… she’s just doing her thing,” Anderson added.
Markle was accused of copying Anderson in March when she released her 8-part Netflix series, which sees the Duchess of Sussex offer up a “how-to” guide for hosting and entertaining at home with appearances from several of her celebrity pals.
Anderson’s show — which was produced in the summer of 2023 and premiered in Feb. 2025 — features the “Naked Gun” star join forces with world-class chefs to prepare a selection of plant-based meals at her home on Vancouver Island.
Royal expert Neil Sean, in a video for his YouTube channel, called “With Love, Meghan” a “frame-for-frame” copy of “Pamela’s Cooking With Love” in some cases.
Jesse Fawcett, co-creator of Anderson’s show, responded to the copying claims at the time.
“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,” Fawcett told the Daily Mail.
Despite their similarities, the two shows got very different responses from fans.
“Pamela’s Cooking With Love” premiered with a 9.8 out of 10 on IMDB, while “With Love, Meghan” only has a 3.2 on IMDB.
Markle’s show also failed to land on the list of Netflix’s top 300 most-watched titles between January and June 2025.
Despite “With Love, Meghan” getting a Season 2, Markle and Prince Harry’s $100 million deal with Netflix is not being renewed.
Along with the cooking show, the couple also came out with their five-part “Harry & Meghan” docuseries in 2022 and Harry’s “Polo” doc — which also got a scathing reception from critics — in 2024.
