Pamela Anderson's blunt response to Meghan Markle's cooking show leaves people making 'sad' point

People were left saddened after Pamela Anderson responded to speculation over Meghan Markle's lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan.

Back in March, Meghan released her new Netflix show. The lifestyle series saw Meghan in the 'kitchen, garden and the beehive' as she shared tips and tricks for cooking, hosting and entertaining.

She also called upon a number of celebrity friends to join her on the show, including Mindy Kaling, Roy Choi and Alice Waters.

After the show aired, some people likened it to a lifestyle series released by Pamela Anderson, Pamela's Cooking With Love.

At the time, some viewers were convinced that the two shows were very alike, with many commenting on the similarities online.

Appearing on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Anderson was asked whether she believed Meghan had 'copied her'.

“On a scale from one 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 these two shows were very similar," Cohen asked.

Anderson seemed quite taken aback with the question, but responded: “One – I didn’t."

Cohen pushed further, asking again: “One? On a scale from one to 10, you did not see any similarities?”

But Anderson was pretty firm, adding: “No, I didn't really look, but I didn't invent cooking shows. She's just doing her thing."

Now, people have been left saddened over the comments, with many praising Pamela for her reaction.

One wrote: "So proud of Pamela. Tired of pitting women against each other."

While another said: "This response is no surprise. Good for all of the women who refuse to be used as a tool with which to bash another woman. As Meghan Sussex loves to say, 'A rising tide raises all ships'.

And a third said: "Well done to Pamela for refusing to take the obvious bait to bash on Meghan. Women who bash on other women for NO REASON are beneath contempt."

Many people have agreed that the two shows are only similar because they are both foodie-focused.

One person wrote: "They are cooking shows - what do you want?"

While another said: "Well I’m gonna be that person, what do they expect it’s a cooking show. Of course they all look the same. Let’s see they’re all uh, COOKING and uh, in their KITCHEN. Past that, it’s not really a cooking show anymore innit."

And a third added: "Nothing similar here!"
