Tim Allen was "such a bitch" on set of The Santa Clauses, says Casey Wilson

“Tim Allen was such a bitch,” Casey Wilson boldly declares in a new episode of her podcast Bitch Sesh. The Happy Endings alum had “buried” the story of her experience on The Santa Clauses for over a year because one of the Disney+ show’s producers is “a great friend” of hers and because her kids “loved the movies.” But no more: “It was the truly single worst experience I’ve ever had with a co-star ever,” she says now (via Variety).

Wilson had a small role in the series as the grown-up version of a child who gave Santa soy milk in the original film. “So I’m in a scene. It’s just me and Tim Allen and I’m supposed to throw things at him. 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,” she explains. “[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.’”

According to the former Saturday Night Live cast member, “everybody was walking on egg shells” around Allen on set that day and “people just looked frantic.” Allen “was so fucking rude” when he finished the scene: “Never made eye contact, never said anything. It was so uncomfortable.”

When he was done acting, “Tim Allen goes, ‘Leaving!’ takes his Santa cape, picks it up and drops it on the floor and walks out. 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,” Wilson shares. “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.’”
