Few people in the ’90s had more power than Home Improvement star Tim Allen. He had a booming movie career and made an impact on TV with the popular ABC sitcom about a television repairman named Tim Taylor and his family. During the show’s eight-season run, it earned numerous awards and nominations, including several Golden Globes and Primetime Emmy Awards. The series also starred Patricia Richardson, Earl Hindman, Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Casey Sander and Debbe Dunning.
Now, Richardson is coming out in defense of her former co-star in the wake of a resurfaced clip slamming Allen for flashing her during filming. The clip is taken from a Home Improvement blooper reel and shows Allen lifting up his kilt in front of Richardson. The former Playboy model and current MMA fighter says Allen never exposed himself to her.
Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Richardson has defended Allen. She spoke out about a claim that the actor flashed her on the set of the popular ’90s show in an interview last year. She claims Allen never did that and she is adamant that the allegation is false.
On the other hand, one of the show’s co-stars has some legal troubles to deal with. Zachery Ty Bryan, who played the eldest Taylor son Brad on the hit ’90s sitcom, was arrested in Oregon in October 2020 for felony strangulation and financial fraud after four unnamed sources accused him of running a fraudulent agriculture-technology scam.
