- Pamela Anderson says seeing Seth Rogen at the January 11, 2026 Golden Globes felt “yucky” because he produced Pam & Tommy without her consent
- The Hulu series dramatized the 1995 sex-tape scandal she calls the “worst time” in her life
- She wants an apology: “Maybe he’ll reach out… not that that matters”
Why it matters: A-list creators can turn personal trauma into content without legal input from the people portrayed, leaving stars like Anderson feeling exploited.
Pamela Anderson walked out of the January 11, 2026 Golden Globes shortly after presenting an award, went straight to bed, and blames one person in the audience: Seth Rogen.
The actor-producer, 43, backed the 2022 Hulu miniseries Pam & Tommy, which dramatized the theft and release of Anderson’s private 1995 honeymoon tape with then-husband Tommy Lee. Anderson, now 58, told Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM show that Rogen never asked for her participation.
“Seth Rogen, he did that [series] without talking to me,” she said. “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.'”
“I felt a little bit weird”
Rogen sat in the Globe pit, steps from the stage. Anderson, presenting Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy to Rose Byrne, felt “uncomfortable” in the room and “weird” about facing him.
“I may have just felt like, ‘I’m not chopped liver over here,'” she told Cohen. “Sometimes it hits you and you feel kind of down.”
She admitted she imagined confrontation: “In my mind, I did… and really told him how I felt,” miming a hard stare across the ballroom. Still, she left the event early, choosing not to approach him.
“Your darkest… tragedies… shouldn’t be fair game”
Anderson said the series mined the “worst time” in her life without permission. “That p—ed me off a little bit,” she added, arguing public figures retain a right to privacy over personal trauma.
She previously told News Of Losangeles for her 2023 Netflix documentary Pamela, a Love Story that producers “should have had my permission” because “nobody really knows what we were going through at the time.” She has never watched the stolen tape and refuses to watch the show.
Will Rogen apologize?
Cohen asked if an apology would matter. “Eventually, hopefully he will… Not that that matters,” Anderson replied, though she conceded it might “mean something.”
For now she is staying busy, filming five movies in the past year. “Everything’s good,” she said. “There’s worse things going on in the world.”
Cohen’s full interview with Anderson airs Tuesday, Jan. 20 at 10 a.m. ET on SiriusXM.
