The Baywatch star finally speaks out about claims Meghan copied her original culinary concept

August 04, 2025: Pamela Anderson isn’t holding back. During her recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the actress and activist addressed the growing speculation that Meghan Markle’s new cooking show “Harvest Table” bears striking similarities to a concept Anderson previously pitched.

The former Baywatch star, who recently launched her own clean-living lifestyle brand that included a cooking series centered on plant-based, sustainable recipes, was asked if she believed Meghan’s show was a “rip-off.”

“Let’s Just Say I Noticed,” Pamela Says

With a raised eyebrow and a smile, Pamela responded coyly, “Let’s just say I noticed. It’s flattering… I think.” She went on to clarify that while she supports anyone promoting healthy, conscious living, the similarities between the visuals, tone, and even some recipes were “hard to ignore.”

“I’ve been working on my series for years—it’s very close to my heart,” she said. “It’s not just about food, it’s about intention, sustainability, and reconnecting with what we eat. I just hope the message isn’t getting diluted for the sake of trend.”

Meghan’s Show Under Scrutiny

Meghan Markle’s Harvest Table, produced under her and Prince Harry’s media company Archewell, debuted earlier this month to mixed reviews. While many praised its warm, rustic aesthetic and focus on farm-to-table cooking, critics and fans were quick to point out its striking resemblance to Pamela Anderson’s eco-focused culinary series launched last year.

Social media comparisons have flooded platforms, with side-by-side shots and clips highlighting near-identical kitchen sets, camera angles, and even wardrobe choices.

No Direct Response from Meghan Yet

So far, Meghan has not responded publicly to the allegations. A source close to the Duchess reportedly dismissed the claims as “baseless,” suggesting both women are simply tapping into the same broader wellness trends.

Still, Anderson’s measured but pointed remarks on WWHL may put added pressure on Meghan’s team to address the controversy head-on.

Celebrity Clashes or Just Coincidence?

While it remains unclear whether this will escalate into a formal dispute, fans of both women are already taking sides online. Some say Pamela paved the way for eco-conscious celebrity chefs, while others argue Meghan is simply exploring her passion for food and family in her own way.

Either way, Pamela Anderson’s appearance has reignited the conversation—and reminded everyone that she’s still got plenty to say, and serve, on and off the screen.
