Tim Allen is now in hot waters. While playing the role of Santa Claus in the 2022 Disney Plus series The Santa Clauses, the actor is said to be not jolly at all and is even facing some accusations. The veteran comedian’s co-star, Casey Wilson, is now making claims against him, saying he’s actually hard and rude on the series’ set.
Casey Wilson Accusing Tim Allen of Being Rude on The Santa Clauses Set
Casey Wilson accused Tim Allen of being “difficult to work with” while doing The Santa Clauses.
“Tim Allen was such a b—h,” she said in an episode of her Bitch Sesh podcast. “Worst, truly single worst experience I’ve ever had with a co-star ever.”
The actress even revealed an incident where they were filming a scene together, where her character, the adult version of Sara, saw Santa enter her home and thought he was a burglar. He was coming down the chimney when she woke up, thinking there was an intruder like it was a home invasion scene. Wilson was supposed to throw things at him.
Casey Wilson just blasted Tim Allen, calling him a "B…ch!" And there is no way I will believe him over her.

However, Allen seemed displeased with her performance, so he went to the producer standing a few feet away from her.
She heard Allen asking the producer to tell her to stop stepping on her lines. With horror on his face, the producer turned and approached her, saying, “Tim would ask that you stop stepping on his lines.”
When Allen was done, Wilson claimed he was so rude that he never made eye contact or said anything, making things uncomfortable.
Disney Plus and Tim Allen have yet to comment on the issue as of this writing.
Tim Allen Allegedly Walks Out of The Santa Clauses Set
Casey Wilson continued that Tim Allen had just walked out of The Santa Clauses set after he was done filming scenes. While everyone was “walking on eggshells” around him and “looked frantic,” he took his Santa cape, picked it up, dropped it on the floor, and walked out after saying, “Leaving!”
Casey Wilson says Tim Allen was “such a bitch” to work with on ‘THE SANTA CLAUSES’.

People then hustled in his stand-in, saying he was a lovely man who was “much nicer to act against,” while others were rushing to pick up his Santa coat.
Tim Allen Returns as Father Christmas in The Santa Clauses
The Santa Clauses is the latest installment of The Santa Clause franchise, which started in the 1994 movie of the same name. The Disney Plus series sees the Toy Story alum return as Father Christmas Scott Calvin, 17 years after the third movie, The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause, was released in 2006.
Talking about his return, he told Entertainment Weekly ahead of the series premiere that everyone, both kids and adults, was very quiet as she walked on the set in the “full regalia” for the first time.”
If y’all haven’t seen The Santa Clauses on @DisneyPlus you are missing out. Probably the best holiday show staring an all star cast and of course one of the funniest actors Tim Allen as Santa.

“When I show up dressed in the full suit and everything else, there’s big smiles on people’s faces,” he said. “Little kids are quiet. I had totally forgotten that. It does feel like Santa’s in the room.”
Tim Allen is known for playing family-friendly roles, but the actor himself has been dragged into several controversies. Earlier this year, Pamela Anderson claimed that the comedian flashed his private at her when they were doing Home Improvement together, though he denied this claim. Hence, these on-set behavior and attitude issues aren’t new at all. Though no one knows the truth but themselves, these people may not air their complaints if incidents like that didn’t happen. This shows that the actors’ roles are far different from who they are, so fans should not believe they have the same attitude like their characters.
