Hollywood actress Pamela Anderson has candidly described feeling "a little yucky" after finding herself seated close to actor and producer Seth Rogen at the recent Golden Globes ceremony.
An Uncomfortable Encounter
The 58-year-old star, who was presenting an award with Miley Cyrus, said the proximity felt strange due to Rogen's deep involvement in the Hulu mini-series Pam & Tommy. The biographical drama chronicles her whirlwind romance with Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee and the infamous sex tape scandal that followed.
Speaking on SiriusXM's Radio Andy with host Andy Cohen, Anderson expressed her lasting upset. "Seth Rogen… he did Pam & Tommy without talking to me," she stated. She questioned the ethics of adapting such a personal story, adding, "How can someone make a TV series out of difficult times in your life? And I am a living, breathing human being over here."
The Core of the Dispute
Anderson's primary grievance is that Rogen, who served as an executive producer and starred in the series, never reached out to her beforehand. Recalling the awards night, she told Cohen she left immediately after her presenting duty and went straight to bed, later reflecting on her feelings.
When asked if she had run into Rogen, Anderson clarified their positions: "Well he was in the pit at The Golden Globes so we were close, but I was just like… I just felt like: 'I'm not chopped liver over here'." She suggested an apology from Rogen would be appropriate, acknowledging that as a public figure she is often considered "free game," but argued that her "darkest, deepest secrets or tragedies should not be fair game for a TV series."
The Legacy of Pam & Tommy
The critically acclaimed series, which starred Lily James as Anderson and Sebastian Stan as Tommy Lee, was nominated for 10 Emmy Awards. Rogen played Rand Gauthier, the electrician who stole the safe containing the couple's private tape. The show was based on a Rolling Stone article detailing the "untold story of the world's most infamous sex tape."
Anderson, who has been busy with her own career—completing five movies in the last year—noted that while she usually focuses on work, the issue sometimes resurfaces. "It just felt a little yucky," she concluded of the Globes encounter. Metro has contacted Seth Rogen's representatives for comment.
