Tension at the Golden Globes Remains
Pamela Anderson revealed to Entertainment Tonight that Seth Rogen made her uncomfortable when they ran into each other at the Golden Globe Awards, as it brought up unresolved emotions tied to 2022 show Pam & Tommy on which Rogen served as producer; that show dramatized Anderson’s volatile relationship with Tommy Lee as well as its public exposure through its private sex tape, an episode she has spoken openly of being deeply traumatizing in her life.
Speaking to television recently, Anderson stated she chose to leave shortly after presenting the award for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy, preferring instead to head straight home when she noticed Rogen nearby.
Anger Over Stories Told Without Consent
Anderson expressed disappointment with Rogen and their decision to produce the series without consulting her first, questioning how anyone could transform painful moments of her life into entertainment. Being close to Rogen during an event made her uncomfortable and disrespected; further validating that her personal boundaries had been violated.
She noted that, despite being busy at work and producing several movies over the past year, this situation brought discomfort. Although she held out hope that Rogen might reach out one day in order to apologize, such an action wouldn’t change much for her.
Public Life and Loss of Privacy
Anderson lamented on how public figures can often be treated like fair game, without regard for their right to privacy. She felt deeply personal experiences or tragedies should never be used without consent for television series such as hers that focused on one of the darkest periods in their lives.
She acknowledged that awards ceremonies and industry gatherings make her uncomfortable; noting she never really felt part of their circles even when surrounded by familiar faces from earlier in her career.
Anderson acknowledged imagining herself going head to head with Rogen directly, yet ultimately kept her distance, opting instead to silently express how she felt instead. Anderson stressed she did not intend for this incident to become her focus or take up too much of her life’s attention when more pressing problems exist in our world today.
Anderson has repeatedly insisted in interviews and her documentary Pamela: A Love Story that the creators of Pam & Tommy should have sought her permission before proceeding with its production. Additionally, she stated she does not plan to watch it as she felt it opened old wounds she preferred closing behind.
