Casey Wilson is not mincing words when it comes to her former co-star Tim Allen.
In the latest episode of her Bitch Sesh podcast, the Happy Endings alum refers to her time acting opposite Allen as the “single worst experience” she’s ever had with another actor.

“Tim Allen was such a bitch,” she exclaims, recalling her guest stint on Disney+’s The Santa Clauses (per Variety). “It was the truly single worst experience I’ve ever had with a co-star ever.”
Wilson appeared in the sequel series’ 2022 premiere as Sara, the little girl who left the allegedly lactose intolerant Claus soy milk in 1994’s The Santa Clause. (Allen previously discussed the scene with TVLine here.)
“So, I’m in a scene. It’s just me and Tim Allen, and I’m supposed to throw things at him,” Wilson recalls. “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.’
“When he was done [filming] he was so f—king rude,” she continues. “Never made eye contact, never said anything. It was so uncomfortable…. 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.
“He’s a bitch,” Wilson declares for a second time. “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.'” (TVLine has reached out to Allen’s rep for comment.)
The Santa Clauses wrapped its second season on Wednesday. It has not yet been renewed for Season 3.
