Tim Allen has been accused of being “so fucking rude” during the making of the Disney+ series The Santa Clauses by former co-star Casey Wilson. On a recent episode of the Bitch Sesh podcast, Wilson reportedly opened up about her experience on set with Allen while filming the spinoff, during which she guest-starred in the pilot episode.
“Tim Allen was such a bitch. It was the truly single worst experience I’ve ever had with a co-star ever,” Wilson said. The Happy Endings actress added that she had “buried this” story before because a producer of the show is a “great friend” and because her children loved the movies.
In the series, Wilson plays the grown-up version of Sara, the little girl Allen’s character Scott Calvin encounters in the original movie.
“So I’m in a scene. It’s just me and Tim Allen and I’m supposed to throw things at him,” Wilson continued. “I think he’s a burglar. So he’s coming down the chimney, obviously as Santa, and I am woken up thinking there’s an intruder, basically like a home invasion scene. So I’m throwing things at him. [He] goes over to the producer who is standing four feet from me and goes, and I hear him, he goes, ‘You gotta tell her to stop stepping on my lines.’ The producer turns to me with horror on his face and has to walk one foot to me and he goes, ‘Um, Tim would ask that you stop stepping on his lines.’”
Wilson said “everybody was walking on egg shells” around Allen on set and “people just looked frantic.” She added, “When he was done, he was so fucking rude. Never made eye contact, never said anything. It was so uncomfortable.”
“It’s the end, and Tim Allen goes, ‘Leaving!,’ takes his Santa cape, picks it up and drops it on the floor and walks out,” Wilson added. “And they hustle in his stand-in; lovely man, who was much nicer to act against. People are scurrying to pick up his velvet Santa coat. He’s a bitch. And this is the best… I will not say who said this. This was someone that I do not know, perhaps in the crew. [He or she] breezes past me and just goes, ‘You’re seeing him on a good day.‘”
Variety and other outlets reached out to Tim Allen’s reps for comment, nothing yet.
