Pamela Anderson Calls Out an Actor Who Participated in the Creation of 'Pam & Tommy' Series

What began as a glittering night of Hollywood celebration quickly turned into something far more personal and painful for the woman once crowned the most-watched on television. Beneath the bright lights and designer gowns of the 2026 Golden Globes, the blonde icon found herself face-to-face with a ghost from her past, and it made her leave.

Pamela Anderson revealed in a raw interview with Andy Cohen on SiriusXM this week that her night at the Golden Globes on Sunday, January 11, 2026, took a sour turn after she spotted a familiar face in the crowd.

It was someone who had reignited one of the most traumatic chapters of her life. And she admitted to Cohen exactly how she felt she condemned this person.

An Unwelcome Reminder in the Middle of the Glamour

Award season is in full swing, a time when stars mingle, accolades are handed out, and the cameras capture every headline-making moment. But while the press and public eat up these glittering affairs, Anderson's story from that night was far from glamorous.

The former "Baywatch" bombshell confessed that she left the awards shortly after presenting Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy to Rose Byrne for her role in "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You." Rather than hit the after parties, she slipped away quietly and said she "went right to bed."

The reason was simple: she had seen Seth Rogen in the audience.

Rogen served as an executive producer on "Pam & Tommy," the Hulu series released in 2022 that dramatized the explosive leak of Anderson and Tommy Lee's private tape. But he wasn't just involved behind the scenes; he portrayed Rand Gauthier, the man who stole and sold the tape in the first place.

Yet, the most upsetting part for Anderson was that no one even acknowledged her.

"Seth Rogen, he did that [series] without talking to me, you know 'Pam & Tommy,' and that was another — I just felt like, 'Eh.' You know?" she told Cohen. "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.'"

Cohen asked whether she had actually run into Rogen, but Anderson clarified that he was merely seated nearby. He was around.

That proximity stirred up feelings she hadn't expected to face. "I felt a little bit weird about it," she said. Even after a busy year filled with film projects, she admitted that seeing him that close brought everything back.

"I don't know. It just felt like a little yucky. But eventually, hopefully he will, maybe he'll reach out to me and apologize. Not that that matters," Anderson added.

Cohen gently disagreed, saying that an apology could hold weight. But Anderson seemed conflicted. To her, the entire situation felt like an instance where her pain had been packaged for entertainment.

"That [expletive] me off a little bit," she said vehemently, as that period in her life was one of the most harrowing she had ever endured.

No Words, Just a Glare

Cohen then asked the questions that everyone was thinking: did she want to approach him? Say something? Maybe just shoot him a look?

Sadly, Anderson admitted she kept her distance. But only physically.

She explained that she already felt like she was "tip-toeing" through the event. Many in attendance were from her old Malibu days, a scene she's never felt entirely comfortable revisiting. Instead, she let her silence do the talking.

"So, I didn't make a beeline for him, but in my mind, I did," she said. "And really told him how I felt. So I'm sitting there in my seat just going [shows an angry glare] you know?"

And unfortunately, she knows there's little chance of real accountability, especially when content like this is still so profitable. Even now, she believes nothing can stop people from exploiting someone else's trauma if there's money to be made.

But she also acknowledged that her life is in a good place. With everything else going on in the world, this particular wound, while deep, is no longer the one that defines her.

The Pain Behind the Series

Anderson has never shied away from expressing her feelings about "Pam & Tommy." In 2023, she opened up more about the show in her candid Netflix documentary "Pamela, a love story."

While the series received multiple Emmy nominations and even won one for Outstanding Period And/Or Character Makeup, she refused to watch a single frame.

In the documentary, a heartbreaking moment unfolds when her sons, Dylan and Brandon Lee, inform her about the show. She sadly tells them those memories still give her "nightmares."

"I have no desire to watch it. I never watched the tape, I'm never going to watch this," she adds flatly.

The Hulu series stars Lily James as Anderson and Sebastian Stan as Lee. It was based on a 2014 article published in Rolling Stone, titled "Pam and Tommy: The Untold Story of the World's Most Infamous Sex Tape," written by Amanda Chicago Lewis.

Pamela Anderson was never consulted. A source later confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that the series had been made "without her approval," and that its release caused her immense emotional suffering.
