As Pamela Anderson revealed in an interview this week, she couldn’t wait to get away from Seth Rogan at the Golden Globes ceremony Sunday night.
The “Baywatch” star told Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM show that she felt “yucky” sitting so close to the actor and thinks he owes her an apology because he developed, produced and starred in “Pam and Tommy,” the Daily Mail reported. That’s the 2022 Hulu series that dramatized a “difficult” time in her life — when a private sex tape she made with then-husband Tommy Lee was stolen and sold to the public.
“Seth Rogen, he did that (series) without talking to me, you know ‘Pam & Tommy,’ Anderson told Cohen. “I just felt like, ‘Eh. You know?” Like how can someone make a TV series out of the difficult times in your life, and ‘I’m a living, breathing human being over here. Hello.'”

They noted the irony in the fact that eight-part series was supposed to be about a public scandal in which a woman’s privacy was invaded — but it then turns around and revisits her most intimate, painful moments for entertainment purposes.
The series, marketed as telling “the greatest love story ever told,” wanted to be a “madcap,” sex-drugs-and-videotape “romp” through the marital adventures of mid-90s it-couple Anderson and Lee, Adrian Horton wrote in her review for The Guardian. Meanwhile, the producers said they wanted to offer a thoughtful retrospective on the corrosive, invasive nature of fame, portray Anderson sympathetically and correct a false narrative that Anderson and Lee secretly leaked the tape.
In the series, Lily James played Anderson and Sebastian Stan played the Mötley Crüe drummer. Rogen, wearing a mullet, embodied Rand Gauthier, the electrician-turned-thief, who steals the sex tape from the couple’s Malibu mansion, after believing that Lee had stiffed him for a home-improvement job.
Horton was among the critics who didn’t think the producers fulfilled their high-minded intentions, especially when it came to Anderson. Notably, the writer said the series recreated scenes from in the sex tape, with James and Stan mimicking Anderson and Lee’s sex noises and “cartoonishly vigorous” sex positions.
“Anderson’s reticence looms over everything,” Horton said. “It’s deliberately uncomfortable to watch, and while there’s a lot going on here, much of it interesting and admirable, not all discomfort is productive. No amount of impersonation, or sympathetic portrayals in which Pam clearly recognizes the biases against her, can get me past the fact that a show about consent exists without the consent of one of its central subjects.”
Vanity Fair writer Julie Miller said that Rogen’s thief character is treated with “understanding” and shown to be a survivor of childhood trauma, even as he also wheels and deals with a “slimy” adult-film producer to get the sex tape distributed. But Anderson wasn’t afforded “a similar amount of context” or sympathy, Miller said, even after she has spoken out publicly about surviving sexual abuse and a gang rape as a young girl. The series also doesn’t portray her alleged abuse by Lee, who pleaded no contest to a felony charge of spousal battery in 1998 after allegedly assaulting her while she was holding their infant son.
Both James and executive producer and creator Robert Siegel said they reached out to Anderson in the hope that she would participate, so that James could portray her “authentically,” as James said, according to Vanity Fair. But a friend of Anderson’s told Vanity Fair that the “Baywatch” star decided pretty quickly to not participate, while a source told Entertainment Tonight: “It is shocking that this series is allowed to happen without her approval.… She feels so violated to this day. It brings back a very painful time for her.”
None of the critics questioned whether Rogen and the other creators had the legal right or artistic prerogative to make the series, and in the way they wanted to make it. Also, Anderson is hardly the first famous person — and famous woman — to have a film or TV show made about her most “difficult” times without her permission. Celebrities, politicians and anyone else famous generally gives up the right to be able to control the narrative about themselves when they become public figures, especially after they’ve been involved in controversy. The critics of the series just opined that the series would have been better — and it wouldn’t have further exploited its female protagonist — if it had done things differently. That includes getting some buy-in from Anderson.
For Anderson, she explained to Cohen, how the hurt from the series has lingered.
“I don’t know. It just felt like a little yucky,” she said about seeing Rogen at the Golden Gobes. “But eventually, hopefully he will, maybe he’ll reach out to me and apologize. Not that that matters.”
When Cohen suggested that an apology from Rogen could “mean something,” Anderson said somewhat philosophically: “Well, you are free game. When you are a public person they say you have no right to privacy. But your darkest, deepest secrets or your tragedies in your life shouldn’t be fair game for (a) TV series.”
