What to Know
Pamela Anderson’s experience at the Golden Globes sounds pretty uncomfortable, given that she ran into someone who worked on a TV series about a difficult time in her life without consulting her at all. According to Pamela, Seth Rogen, who served as an executive producer on Pam & Tommy and also portrayed Rand Gauthier, didn’t even talk to her before working on the show Pamela and Tommy Lee’s leaked sex tape. She’d like to remind Seth that she is “a living, breathing human” too, and the whole thing just feels kind of “yucky” to her.
So, unsurprisingly, she was not exactly happy to see Seth at the Golden Globes this year, and she decided to leave early.
She opened up about how she feels about Seth when speaking to Andy Cohen.
“Seth Rogen, he did that [series] without talking to me, you know Pam & Tommy, and that was another — I just felt like, ‘Eh.’ You know?” Pamela explained to Andy. “How can someone make a TV series out of difficult times in your life? And I am a living, breathing human being over here. Hello.”
Pam & Tommy tells the story of Pamela and Tommy’s relationship and their stolen sex tape. Arguably, this feels like Pamela’s story to tell (if she wanted to), but for some reason, people felt inclined to make a series about this challenging time in her life without getting her opinion or approval.
Though she’s been busy and may not have thought much about the situation lately, seeing Seth seemed to bring her negative feelings about the show back to the surface. “He was in the pit at the Golden Globes. We were close. I felt like, I’m not chopped liver over here. I felt weird about it,” she continued. “I’ve been so busy working. I’ve done five movies in the last year. Sometimes it hits you and you feel kind of down. It felt a little yucky.”
She also told Andy that she decided to leave after presenting the award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy and then immediately went to bed after that.
Obviously, there are “worse things going on in the world,” but Seth’s role in the series really bothered her.
It seems like Pamela is still hoping that Seth will apologize to her for making a show about “the worst time in [her] life.” But she’s not counting on that hypothetical making a huge difference anyway. “Eventually, hopefully, he will reach out to me to apologize, not that it matters,” she said. “When you are a public person, they say you have no right to privacy. But your darkest, deepest secrets or tragedies should not be fair game for a TV series. That p—ed me off a little bit.”
Andy asked her about how she actually reacted to seeing Seth at the Golden Globes. But for Pamela, being at the Golden Globes is kind of “uncomfortable” to begin with, and she felt like she was “already tip-toeing around.” So, when she saw Seth, she didn’t do anything — but she did imagine approaching him and telling him how she really feels.
“I didn’t make a beeline for him, but in my mind, I did. And really told him how I felt,” she said.
