Pamela Anderson’s Netflix documentary Pamela, a Love Story has some stunning disclosures. The documentary and her biography Love, Pamela were both published at the same time, giving viewers a new perspective on Pamela’s life. Both initiatives were revealed soon after the premiere of Hulu’s Pam & Tommy miniseries, which received flak for exposing viewers to their prior traumas.
One of the factors influencing Pamela’s decision to come clean was the way Pam and Tommy violated her personal space. In prior interviews regarding the show, the Baywatch actress said, “I think it’s impossible to play somebody when you don’t know the complete picture” (via Variety). Pamela, who refuses to be portrayed as a victim, muses on her marriage to Tommy Lee and her childhood trauma in the Netflix documentary Pamela, a Love Story, allowing the world to see the full picture. Here are the greatest revelations from Pamela, a Love Story, despite the fact that the documentary contains a tonne of fresh information.
Pamela Opens Up About Her Childhood Trauma
Pamela admits that her babysitter assaulted her for three to four years at the beginning of Pamela, a Love Story. According to Pamela, the nanny would appear kind and kind in front of her parents while threatening to keep quiet behind closed doors. Then, in the documentary, Pamela confesses that she tried to murder the nanny, claiming, “I tried to stab her in the heart with a candy cane pen.” The babysitter died the next day in a vehicle accident, which Pamela felt she was somehow responsible for.
In Pamela, a Love Story, Pamela continues by revealing that she was raped by a 25-year-old when she was 12 years old. Pamela gives a brief account of the terrible experience and says that she struggled to move on from the assault because it seemed like a tattoo on her forehead. Both of these assaults, according to Pamela, made her shy and ashamed of her body, which she referred to as a prison from which she had to escape.
Pamela Didn’t Want To Join Baywatch
Pamela Anderson was initially hesitant to accept the character of C.J. Parker in Baywatch, which fans saw in Pam & Tommy, despite the fact that she went on to become well-known for it. When the Baywatch casting directors gave her the part, she reportedly turned them down 11 times, according to Pamela, a Love Story. Pamela claims that she disregarded their demands because she wasn’t accustomed to Los Angeles and felt Marina del Rey seemed exotic and remote.
Pamela Details More About Her Marriage To Tommy Lee
It’s generally known how tumultuous Pamela’s marriage to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee was. However, Pamela opens up more about the abuse she endured at the hands of Lee in Pamela, a Love Story. She recalls how jealous Tommy would cause problems on the Baywatch set, and how she once punched a hole in a cupboard after learning she had to kiss David Chokachi during a scene.
Pamela talks further about her split from Tommy Lee and recalls an incident where Tommy pulled her arm while she was holding Dylan, causing her nail to come out. Tommy then threw the two people against a wall. He was eventually apprehended and sentenced to six months in prison for domestic violence. Despite this, Pamela says she prefers being alone to not being with her children’s father and that her prior relationships haven’t compared to their bond.
The Sex Tape Made Pamela Feel Like A “Caricature”
Pamela considers the damaging effects the stolen sex tape had on her career during Pamela, a Love Story. Pamela Anderson states that with the release of the sex tape, she started to feel like a stereotype and that many of her next roles would be overtly sexualized. The Barb Wire actress changed her attention to leveraging her sexualization for good by supporting animal rights and contributing to PETA initiatives in order to combat this. Pamela has been a vegetarian since she was a young child and has since accomplished amazing things for animal welfare and conservation.
Pam & Tommy Gave Pamela Nightmares
Pamela Anderson made no secret of her dislike for the Hulu miniseries Pam & Tommy once it debuted. However, she confesses to having nightmares after hearing about the show in Pamela, a Love Story, claiming that it made her feel nauseous after erasing the traumatic memories from her life. In Pamela, a Love Story, it is also stated that Pamela asked Tommy for his opinion on the show and that he encouraged her not to let it hurt her as much as it did the first time. After seeing the first three episodes, their son Brandon Lee expressed the same opinions about Pam & Tommy, calling it inaccurate.
Rick Salomon Left Drug Paraphernalia Under Pamela’s Family Christmas Tree
Rick Salomon, an American poker player, was Pamela’s third husband; they had already eloped twice. In Pamela, a Love Story, Pamela suddenly confesses that she discovered a “crack pipe” below their family Christmas tree, which led to the breakdown of their marriage. As said by Pamela “However, “who else would have a crack pipe in the Christmas tree? He still claims it was someone else to this day. I didn’t do it.” Salomon has refuted the allegations but acknowledges used the medication in the past.
Sylvester Stallone Wanted Pamela As His Number One Girl
Another stunning Sylvester Stallone anecdote can be found in Pamela, a Love Story. In the documentary, Pamela claims that Stallone “offered me a condo and a Porsche to be his ‘No. 1 lady,'” but she turned him down because she wanted to be in love and wouldn’t accept anything less. Although Rocky Balboa star Sylvester Stallone refuted the assertion in Pamela, a Love Story, it’s nevertheless an intriguing revelation that demonstrates Pamela Anderson’s self-awareness.
