Tim Allen is a well-known douche. He’s very conservative, he’s anti-government, anti-tax and pro-Donald Trump. He’s also a convicted cocaine smuggler. He’s not a Hollywood pariah though – he plays the game when it suits him, and he has some allies, although I’ve always heard stories about his bad attitude and general unpleasantness. Well, this is random, but Casey Wilson confessed that Tim Allen was the rudest person she’s ever worked with.

Casey Wilson said on a recent episode of her “Bitch Sesh” podcast that working with Tim Allen on an episode of his Disney+ series “The Santa Clauses” was “the truly single worst experience I’ve ever had with a co-star ever.” Wilson guest starred in the show’s pilot episode, which debuted in November 2022. “The Santa Clauses,” which recently finished airing its second season on Disney+, serves as a sequel to Allen’s three movies “The Santa Clause” (1994), “The Santa Clause 2” (2002) and “The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause” (2006).

“Tim Allen was such a bitch. It was the truly single worst experience I’ve ever had with a co-star ever,” Wilson said, noting that she had “buried this” story until now because a producer on the show is “a great friend” of hers and because her kids “loved the movies.”

“So I’m in a scene. It’s just me and Tim Allen and I’m supposed to throw things at him,” Wilson remembered. “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 eggshells” around Allen on set and “people just looked frantic.” She added, “When he was done, he was so f–king rude. Never made eye contact, never said anything. It was so uncomfortable.”

After Wilson finished shooting one shot that blocked her in a close-up, she said Allen immediately exited the set without notifying any of his fellow cast members or crew.

“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.‘”

He absolutely sounds deeply unpleasant, but isn’t this kind of behavior “normal” for many actors? If they’re not being “too Method,” they’re just phoning it in and treating everyone like garbage. It actually says something about the nice people Casey has worked with that THIS was her worst experience. Also: my guess is that Tim believes these Santa movies/shows are beneath him and he lets everyone know that. I really hope Casey doesn’t have to apologize for calling Tim Allen a bitch.
