Meghan Markle holds her breath after the message Pamela Anderson has sent

Meghan Markle and Pamela Anderson are two names that make headlines wherever they go. Meghan from the world she created after leaving royalty, and Pamela as a television and glamour modeling icon. Both have learned to live with constant attention and inevitable comparisons.

Their careers couldn't be more different, but they share the ability to spark global conversation. When their paths cross, even indirectly, the media buzz quickly follows. This time, the connection came through a live question that linked them and tried to pit them against each other.

Pamela cuts the rumor at the root

During her appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the actress received a direct question. The host wanted to know, on a scale of one to ten, how much she felt With Love, Meghan was a copy of her own show Pamela’s Cooking With Love.

Pamela's answer left no room for doubt: "One; I didn't." Laughing, she explained that she never thought about whether the formats were similar. "I really didn't look, but I didn't invent cooking shows; she's just doing her thing," she said naturally.

With that brief and drama-free statement, she shut down the speculation circulating on social media and in the press. It's an example of how to close a topic without turning it into a controversy.

Two shows, two worlds

Pamela's show debuted on February 24 and is set in her home in Vancouver, Canada. There, she welcomes renowned chefs to cook plant-based dishes together in a relaxed and intimate setting.

Meanwhile, Meghan Markle postponed the premiere of her show from January 4 to March 4. This was due to the wildfires in Los Angeles. With Love, Meghan combines recipes with gardening, decorating, and hospitality tips, always accompanied by special guests.

Although both projects share cooking as a common thread, the styles, themes, and audiences they target are different. Rather than competition, they seem like parallel paths.

What's next for each

Pamela will continue developing her format focused on healthy eating and a conscious lifestyle. Meghan, on the other hand, already has the second season of her show ready. It was recorded before Netflix ended its multimillion-euro contract with her.

In a media landscape where any coincidence can fuel theories, Pamela's answer was as direct as it was elegant. With a "one" and a smile, she made it clear there's no rivalry and that each one "is just doing her thing."
