We sometimes think that we know celebrities because we see them so often on TV or in the movies. When we begin to learn more about what is going on behind the scenes, however, it may just take us by surprise.
That includes the celebrity that we are discussing below. She is well known by millions of people around the world, but we might not know that she had a rather difficult beginning.
Pamela Anderson was born in 1967 in British Columbia. Her parents were relatively normal people, and she didn’t have a celebrity lifestyle growing up. In fact, she had a traumatic experience that still affects her down to this day.
Since her parents were so young when they had her, they would often go out and they got a female babysitter. Unfortunately, that babysitter molested her at a young age by making her play inappropriate sexual games. One time she even told Pamela that she was a bad girl and Santa Claus would not visit her.
Pamela said that she ran after her and called her a liar, even stabbing her with a pen. She told her that she hoped she died and if the girl did die in a car accident after her graduation. That led Pamela to believe that she had extraordinary powers during her youth.
She was also assaulted when she was between the ages of 12 and 14 and had a boyfriend kick her out of a moving car. She punched her father one time as he was assaulting her mother.
Eventually, she would become a well-known individual after she posed for Playboy magazine. She would also play on television shows, including Home Improvement and Baywatch.
After getting married to drummer Tommy Lee, she would enter the party lifestyle and she continued to keep that lifestyle going for many years.
Pamela also spoke about the sex tape that was stolen from their honeymoon and how it ruined their lives, including her relationship. Eventually, she would divorce her husband and move on with her life.
Over the years, she has gone through her ups and downs. More recently, she tends to keep to herself and loves gardening on her large property. She also is an advocate for women aging naturally and not wearing too much makeup.
Pamela Anderson may not be perfect, but she is the woman that she is.
