Overview
- Smith writes in her memoir, published in September 2026, that around 1980 Tanya Roberts and her then-husband Barry Roberts asked her to join them for a threesome while the cast was flying to Hawaii and that she declined.
- Smith describes Roberts as candid about her sexuality and calls that candor "brave and self-aware," while saying her own view of marriage was more traditional.
- The book says actor David Doyle, who played Bosley, witnessed the exchange from a seat behind them and later made a lighthearted remark to Smith.
- News coverage of the anecdote is drawn from Smith's first-person account in the memoir; Tanya Roberts cannot respond because she died in 2021 and there is no new independent corroboration reported.
- Smith places the episode among other behind-the-scenes recollections about sex, drug use and cast relationships on Charlie's Angels as she reflects on the show's late-season culture.
