Pamela Anderson is really baring her heart and soul for the world to see with her upcoming Netflix documentary and memoir.
The same day that the doccie Pamela, A Love Story will be released (on January 31) her memoir, Love, Pamela will also come out.
Some of the stories that she has revealed in each have been making headlines already, causing a little stir in Hollywood.
The director of the documentary, Ryan White, has made a point to say that Pamela is nothing but honest, which is a pertinent point to make since a few of the people she’s referenced are denying what she says as true.
Besides Tim Allen denying a story Pamela tells in her book – “never happened” – about him flashing her on her first day of Home Improvement in 1991, Sylvester Stallone also said it was “completely untrue” that he offered her a condo and a Porsche and asked her to be his No. 1 girl at that time.
White told Yahoo! Entertainment that he’s “not surprised people are denying things”:
“What I will say is: Pamela is honest. She lives her life in the most honest way I’ve ever seen. Her North Star is honesty — to a fault. I think she just cannot be dishonest… So I would put my money behind anything Pamela Anderson ever says.”
The doccie, which traces her meteoric rise from a small-town Canadian girl to the biggest name in 90s Hollywood, also reveals Pamela’s private life and personal struggles like never before.
Yahoo! News shared five of the biggest reveals that Pamela has recently shared, beginning with the first and truly most shocking reveal.
She attempted to kill a babysitter when she was just a child to try and stop years of molestation and systematic abuse:
Growing up in Canada, she and her siblings were left in the care of an unnamed woman, who would systemically sexually abuse them.
“It was like three or four years of abuse,” she tells the camera. “She always told me not to tell my parents. I tried to protect my brother from her. I tried to kill her – tried to stab her in the heart with a candy cane pen.”
Then one day, fate had its way if you will, as Pamela told the babysitter that she wanted her to die and the next day, she did die in a car accident:
“So I thought I’d killed her with my magical mind and I couldn’t tell anybody. I was sure that I did it, that I’d wished her dead and she died. I lived with that the whole of my young life.”
Tragically, Pamela also revealed that she was raped by a man who lived locally to her when she was just 12:
“[Me and a friend] went to a friend’s condo, she went upstairs with the guy she had a crush on. I started to play backgammon downstairs with his friend while I waited for her,” she writes.
“We played for a while until he said I looked like I needed a massage. He was 25, I was 12. He raped me. I felt like it was my fault.”
Pamela unpicked all the romances she had over the years on her quest to find “The One”, which resulted in her getting married five times to four different men.
Besides being completely traumatised by the sex tape debacle which derailed her career and had a negative impact on her relationship with Tommy Lee – Disney+ released Pam And Tommy, where you can watch more about that – Pamela also had a really tough time with the pro poker player Rick Salomon, whom she married twice.
Their first marriage in 2007 to 2008 ended rather quickly after finding a crack pipe hidden in the family Christmas tree, she says:
“He still to this day denies it and says it was somebody else,” she says. “Who else would have a crack pipe in the Christmas tree? It wasn’t me!
“So we were only married a few months, it was annulled, but we were still friends. Then when he got sober, and was sober for years, we decided to try it again. It didn’t last long either.”
White says that there were actually so many other potentially headline-making stories that he left out of the doccie, which says a lot about the life this Baywatch babe has lived.
Pamela, A Love Story will be out next Tuesday on Netflix, with her memoir going on sale the same day:
