Pamela Anderson has said it felt ‘yucky’ sitting near Seth Rogen at the Golden Globes, slamming the comedian for his part in a TV series about her ‘darkest secrets’.
Anderson has spoken out in the past about Rogen’s part as an executive producer and star of 2022’s Pam and Tommy.
The TV series, produced for Hulu, tells the story of the high-profile marriage between Anderson and Tommy Lee and the subsequent unauthorised leaking of their sex tape in 1997.
The celebrity sex tape was one of the first and most notable cases of a ‘viral’ leak, but Anderson was less than pleased about the TV series that covered this saga.

Speaking to Andy Cohen during a SiriusXM radio interview, Anderson stated that it was ‘yucky’ seeing Rogen at the Golden Globes and even reiterated a previous call for him to apologise.
The Baywatch star revealed that Rogen did Pam & Tommy ‘without talking’ to her, adding: “I just felt like ugh… How can someone make a TV series out of difficult times in your life? I am living, breathing human being over here.”
Anderson claimed that they were both in the pit at the Globes and were ‘close’, leading her to feel ‘weird about it’.
She added: “I’ve been so busy working. I’ve done five movies in the last year. Sometimes it hits you and you feel kind of down.
“It felt a little yucky. Eventually, hopefully, he will reach out to me to apologise, not that it matters.
“When you are a public person, they say you have no right to privacy.
“But your darkest, deepest secrets or tragedies should not be fair game for a TV series. That p*ssed me off a little bit.”
As well as acting as an Executive Producer on the show, Rogen also played Rand Gauthier – the man who stole Anderson and Tommy Lee’s sex tape.
Gauthier stole the sex tape in 1995 before releasing it in 1997, selling it to video distribution company IEG.
The couple initially sued IEG but ultimately dropped the suit in December of 1997 with Anderson citing a desire to focus on her mental health and kids.
Played by Lily James in the TV show opposite Sebastian Stan as Tommy Lee, this is not the first time Anderson has called for an apology over the show.
In 2023 when speaking to Variety she stated that ‘a**holes’ were behind the show and called for a public apology.
The actor claims to have not watched a single minute of the series and said that the promotional material she had seem made Stan and James look like 'a Halloween costume’ to her.
Speaking previously about the show, Rogen claimed that in researching the case it challenged his preconceptions about what happened.
Speaking to the LA Times, Rogen said: “I assumed it was something they put out into the world. I assumed they were profiting from it.
“I completely had it wrong and, in fact, the understanding I had was incredibly destructive in a lot of ways, on many levels.”
Rogen has not yet spoken out about Anderson’s criticism of the show.
