In February 2018, Allen said that a woman had broken into her Los Angeles home and attacked her two dogs. Allen walked in on the intruder, who was attempting to steal a vibrator. The police told TMZ that Allen pinned the woman down after calling 911. The intruder had consumed alcohol and pills that were in the house. Allen's dogs recovered after receiving minor injuries.{{Cite web |last=Fernandez |first=Alexia |date=February 23, 2018 |title=Baywatch's Krista Allen Says a Woman Broke Into Her Home and Hurt Her Two Dogs |url=http://people.com/tv/krista-allen-claims-woman-broke-into-home-hurt-dog/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180227103753/http://people.com/tv/krista-allen-claims-woman-broke-into-home-hurt-dog/ |archive-date=February 27, 2018 |access-date=July 25, 2024 |website=People}}
In 2019, she and her former Baywatch co-star Donna D'Errico were targets of a scam. They received offers to fly to Dubai, give a speech, and receive a $300,000 appearance fee. The scammer claimed to be from the office of the Deputy Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and said that the speech would be at an economic empowerment convention for small business owners. The contracts that Allen and D'Errico were sent seemed legit, so they both signed. The organizer in Dubai then claimed to have trouble wiring over the funds. Instead, the scammer deposited checks into the women's bank accounts. Before the checks cleared, the women were asked to donate $150,000 each to a fake charity. Allen and D'Errico became suspicious and decided not to send the donations or any personal information. The checks that the scammer had deposited were revealed to be fraudulent, and the actresses would have lost $300,000 if they had not backed out. Other targets of the scam were Taylor Armstrong and Dog the Bounty Hunter.{{Cite web |last=Clifford |first=Kambra |date=August 28, 2019 |title=Days of our Lives' Krista Allen targeted in scary celebrity scam |url=https://www.soapcentral.com/days-of-our-lives/news/2019/0829-krista_allen_scammed.php |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211108143716/https://www.soapcentral.com/days-of-our-lives/news/2019/0829-krista_allen_scammed.php |archive-date=November 8, 2021 |access-date=July 25, 2024 |website=Soap Central}}
