Pamela Anderson had the misfortune of being near Seth Rogen at the 2025 Golden Globes two years after he starred in Hulu miniseries Pam & Tommy.
The semi-biographical drama was a look into the relationship between Anderson and her ex-husband, Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, along with their infamous 1990s porn tape. In 1998, the former spouses sued Internet Entertainment Group for copyright infringement over the homemade video, The film was released without the couple's consent, and won a judgement of $1.5 million. With Rogen also being executive producer of Pam & Tommy, Anderson spotting the entertainer at the Golden Globes caused her to leave early.
Anderson recalled the experience on a recent episode of Andy Cohen's SiriusXM show Radio Andy, according to People. The actress said that after presenting Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, which was awarded to Rose Byrne, she left and "went to bed" after seeing The Studio star.
"Seth Rogen, he did that [series] without talking to me, Pam & Tommy, and that was another...I just felt like, 'Eh.' You know?" Anderson told Cohen. “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.'"
Anderson added that she was "so close" to Rogen at the awards ceremony, spotting him in the pit, but felt "weird" about the encounter.
"I felt a little bit weird about it. ... I’ve been so busy working. I’ve done five movies in the last year. So, I’ve just been busy but sometimes it hits you and you feel kind of down," Anderson continued, adding that seeing Rogen made her feel "yucky."
"But eventually, hopefully he will, maybe he’ll reach out to me and apologize. Not that that matters," the actress said.
While Anderson acknowledged that celebrities are "free game" when it comes to their private lives being aired out, it shouldn't have been "fair game" for a television series. In the eight-episode Pam & Tommy, Rogen played Rand Gauthier, who discovered the porn tape after breaking into Lee and Anderson's home in 1995.
In a 2023 interview with Variety, Anderson called for an apology from the Pam & Tommy production team, and said that they rubbed "salt on the wound."
