Pamela Anderson says her 'loving parents tried their best to keep her safe' as she recalls traumatic childhood which saw her 'molested as a child, raped at 12 and gang-raped in her teens'

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I can empathize deeply with Pamela Anderson‘s story. Her resilience and strength, despite facing such horrific hardships at a tender age, is truly inspiring. It’s heartbreaking to learn about her struggles, especially considering the loving environment she was supposed to grow up in.


Pamela Anderson has disclosed that her parents, who cared deeply for her, made efforts to shield her from harm, even though they themselves faced unimaginable struggles. Among these hardships was a traumatic experience when she was only 12 years old and was victimized by sexual assault.

In an interview with The Sunday Times Style Magazine, the actress, who is now 57 years old, discussed candidly her challenging relationship with her father Barry and mother Carol.

Back in 2014, Pamela publicly shared her harrowing experiences, including being sexually abused as a child, raped at the tender age of 12, and later subjected to a gang rape. These shocking disclosures left attendees stunned during her speech at the Cannes Film Festival.

The Baywatch actress shared with the press that her difficult experience occurred even though she had caring parents who made every effort to shield her from harm.

At a gathering celebrating The Pamela Anderson Foundation’s debut about a decade back, Pamela recounted the harrowing experiences she faced in her early years.

She shared that her upbringing wasn’t simple, and despite having affectionate parents, she was unfortunately abused by a female babysitter starting at the age of six.

As an ardent enthusiast, I found myself at a friend’s beau’s abode, where the older sibling took it upon himself to introduce me to the captivating world of backgammon. Little did I know that this educational session would lead down an unexpected path, culminating in a soothing back massage. However, what ensued was far from the relaxing experience I had anticipated; instead, it morphed into an unconsented encounter that shattered my innocence and marked my first heterosexual experience.

‘He was 25 years old and I was 12.’

Later on, the model who graced the Playboy cover shared that her high school boyfriend thought it would be amusing to rape her, along with his six friends. She felt like she no longer wanted to be alive.

Previously, Pamela too pondered over the challenging dynamics of her parents’ union, confessing to Glamour that during certain periods, she wished her mother would depart from her father, as a result of his abusive actions.

Anderson reminisced, “You see, my parents were quite unique. My father had a severe drinking problem, while my mother found a means to cope… and I, unfortunately, attributed some of the blame to her as well, questioning why she stayed in such a troubled relationship.

On numerous occasions, I wished she wouldn’t remain there. However, they managed to sort things out. Their love is deeply passionate.

1) I acknowledge that their relationship is none of my concern and focus on my own. My father, however, is a fascinating individual. He’s part of Mensa, our family is Finnish, and he has a way with words that makes him quite poetic.

In her 2023 Netflix documentary, Pamela opened up about being raped when she was just 12 years old.

She explained that at the time, she went to a condo owned by a guy who her friend had a crush on. 

The friend went upstairs with the owner and she was left downstairs with his friend, who was 25. 

After they finished playing Backgammon, he commented that she seemed stressed and suggested a massage. Unfortunately, what followed was an act of violence towards her, which she kept to herself and did not share with anyone.

She told the documentary: ‘I had so much shame about what happened. I felt like it was my fault. My mom was always crying about my dad, and I couldn’t bear to hurt her more. I didn’t tell her or anyone.’

Pamela, who made headlines by forgoing makeup during Paris Fashion Week at the end of last year, is currently marketing her part in the dramatic film “The Last Showgirl.” In this movie, she plays the leading character, a performer whose show unexpectedly shuts down, forcing her to come up with fresh strategies.

Earlier this week, Pamela received a hearty round of applause and a standing ovation when she stepped onto the stage.

‘I’ve been getting ready my whole life for this film,’ she joked, per Variety. 

I’ve never experienced such a profound connection with anything as I have with this movie. I found myself completely immersed in it, unable to resist its pull, and I wholeheartedly embraced it.

As per the movie summary, Pamela’s character grapples with finding a new direction following the end of her show, and endeavors to mend a tense bond with her daughter, who has been neglected due to Pamela’s long-term commitment to her showgirl kin.

Simultaneously, Coppola discussed her latest project with Deadline, revealing, “I’ve had a long-standing desire to create a film set in Las Vegas.

I’m incredibly proud of our entire team, but I must single out Pamela for her exceptional work. Her fearless and emotional portrayal leaves me eager to showcase it!

The film was produced by Robert Schwartzman and Natalie Farrey.

‘Dream project, dream cast,’ Schwartzman told the outlet.
