Pamela Anderson asserts that she did not work with a collaborator or ghostwriter on her forthcoming memoir, causing her to gain “about 25 pounds.”
The “Baywatch” bombshell, 55, stated on “The Howard Stern Show” on Wednesday that it was not just a “massive battle” to convince people that she wrote “Love, Pamela” without assistance, but also that the writing process was taxing.
Anderson told the shock jock, “I had a physical reaction to telling my story, and I lost weight as a result.” “It felt almost as if I were clinging to something; it was protective… my fluffy armor. I was under the impression that it was some sort of protection.”
The former Playboy model pondered whether her body was changing because she was “just getting older,” and her mother inquired as to why she no longer displayed her classic figure.
“I simply felt like, ‘What figure?’ Anderson, who adheres to a vegan lifestyle, stated, “You know, I was just joking.”
“At the time, I was a mess, so I enjoyed the fact that I stripped away everything: no makeup, nothing of the sort, and I thought, ‘You know what? If you like me like this — if you like me at my worst, maybe you like me,’” she reasoned.
Anderson stated further in the Stern interview that she was unaware of the Emmy-winning Hulu series “Pam & Tommy” until it was already being promoted to the public.
Anderson and rock musician Tommy Lee, 60, wed in February 1995 after dating for only four days. They divorced three years later and share 26-year-old Brandon and 25-year-old Dylan.
Shortly after the February 2022 launch, a source close to Anderson told Entertainment Weekly that she will “never” watch the Hulu series. The program examines the theft and subsequent dissemination of the infamous sex tape of the former couple, which occurred in 1995.
“I recall seeing an advertisement for this ‘Pam & Tommy’ thing and thinking, ‘What the hell is this?’”
“No one phoned or questioned me. I’m still alive!” She exclaimed in surprise.
Stern questioned Anderson if she had ever expressed her displeasure to “very reasonable” Seth Rogen, the show’s star and executive producer, or any other producer. She acknowledged that she never did. The Post has reached out to Rogen’s representative for comment.
“I just felt exhausted after that one,” she admitted.
“I do not believe they accurately portrayed Tommy or me. I have only heard that it was a very superficial picture of us during that time.”
“I don’t know why they didn’t call — I mean, I wish they had,” she continued.
Anderson doubts she would have participated in discussing the “subject matter” of the sex tape even if she had been contacted.
She will revisit this internet-breaking video in her own Netflix documentary, “Pamela, a Love Story,” which premieres on January 31.
