Pamela Anderson Opens Up

Baywatch alum Pamela Anderson appeared on Piers Morgan‘s U.K. documentary Life Stories, and opened up about being molested by a babysitter as a child, and then being bullied as an adult by disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. She also discussed wild times at the Playboy mansion.

ON BEING MOLESTED:

• “I had a babysitter and she molested me for, I think, a year and I was between the ages of 4 and 8, somewhere around there,” the former Playmate of the Month said.
• She said she frequently wished the sitter was dead. “But I remember wishing her dead, and she ended up dying the next day at her graduation in a car accident and I thought, ‘OK now I’ve killed her, I’m magic, I can’t tell my parents about this and I’ve killed her.’ I started believing I had this special power to kill people and so I was scared to tell them that this happened and I was also scared to tell them that I killed her.”

ON WEINSTEIN

• Anderson said that Weinstein behaved like a “rude bully” with her during her interactions with him for 2008’s Superhero Movie, in which she appeared.
• “I said ‘I’m not doing it’ and then he [Weinstein] just really said to me, ‘You’ll never work in this town again, I offered Pamela Anderson a role in a movie, are you crazy?’ And lots of very harsh words. He scared me so much that I did the film because I thought, ‘Harvey Weinstein, oh my God, this is like the most powerful person in Hollywood.’ He was just a bully, very rude, threatening. I did it out of duress,” Anderson recalled.
• Anderson said that she was glad to see that sexual misconduct allegations finally brought him down.
• “I only know my own experience and that was bad enough,” Anderson said. “I think there was already common knowledge in the industry too that this was someone to be careful of, you just have to be careful.”
• A rep for Weinstein denies her allegations.

ON PLAYBOY MANSION

• The 50-year-old discusses a 1980s trip to Hugh Hefner‘s Playboy Mansion.
• “Everyone was naked in the grotto and the girls were downstairs and they all went upstairs,” Anderson recalled. “I followed them upstairs. I thought, ‘What could be going on up here?’ Seven girls, one at a time with Hef. I stood at the end of the bed watching them and then I realized they were watching me. I thought, ‘This is not a movie. I need to leave.’”
• Hefner ended up protecting her from other men later. “I have had men say, ‘Come back to my hotel room and audition with me. If you don’t come I will give it to the girl across the hall,’ ” she said. “And then they have ended up giving the role to a girl across the hall. People have said, ‘Pamela, come and join us in the Jacuzzi and I will give you $100,000.’ And I have said, ‘I think that is more than just the Jacuzzi. I am calling Hef.’ “
