From blond bombshell to published author, Pamela Anderson has done it all. Fortunately for fans, she's finally ready to talk about her explosive life, giving people a never-before-seen look into things like her split from ex-husband Tommy Lee to that infamous sex tape as she tells her story in her own words.
'Love, Pamela' offers a new perspective on an old story.
People magazine got a first look at the book that's set to debut at the end of January. In it, they discovered some of the things the Baywatch alum has kept quiet about over the years, including her intense pride in the sons she shares with her rock star ex, 26-year-old Brandon and 25-year-old Dylan.
She says her one true love gave her the gift of two perfect boys.
Calling Tommy the only man she's ever loved, Pamela talks about how it was a "miracle" their sons turned out as well as they did because of their shared "gene pool."
Pam was undoubtedly referencing the tumultuous end to her marriage, which came about after the couple's sex tape was leaked.
Pam called out the people who continue to profit from her video.
"It ruined lives, starting with our relationship — and it's unforgivable that people, still to this day, think they can profit from such a terrible experience, let alone a crime," she wrote in her book.
And profit people have. Not only was it a massive money maker back when it was first leaked to the press, but the story has been retold in unauthorized productions since then.
The 55-year-old also got candid about what caused the end of her marriage.
According to Pamela, the breaking point came when things got physical between her and the drummer. "Tommy ripped Brandon off me and threw me and Dylan into a wall," she wrote, adding that she called 911 and Tommy served six months in jail for the "felony spousal abuse."
"The divorce from Tommy was the hardest, lowest, most difficult point of my life," she continued. "I was crushed. I still couldn't believe that the person I loved the most was capable of what had happened that night. We were both devastated, but I had to protect my babies."
These days, Pam and Tommy have found some kind of peace.
The duo aren't exactly co-parenting their adult children anymore, but they do seem to have found a way to coexist.
We can't wait to get our hands on Pamela's book. So much has happened in her life but she's never chosen to speak out about it all until now. It will be great to hear the stories we've come to know told from her perspective.
