For Pamela Anderson, this year’s Golden Globes came with mixed emotions.
Although she took to the stage to present an award, the night didn’t turn into a long celebration.
Instead, she quietly slipped away and headed home, choosing rest over after-parties and small talk.
It wasn’t exhaustion that sent her packing — it was the emotional weight of unexpectedly sharing the room with someone tied to one of the most painful chapters of her life.
Running Into an Old Wound
Appearing on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM show, Anderson explained that seeing Seth Rogen at the ceremony stirred feelings she hadn’t expected.
Rogen was a creator on Pam & Tommy, the Hulu series that dramatized the theft and spread of her private sex tape — a story she has repeatedly said was deeply traumatic.
What unsettled her most, she said, was that the show was made without her knowledge or consent.
“How can someone turn the hardest moments of your life into entertainment,” she reflected, “when you’re still very much alive and dealing with the fallout?”
Too Close for Comfort in the Room
Adding to the discomfort was the seating arrangement.
Anderson revealed that Rogen was positioned close by during the ceremony, making it impossible to avoid the situation mentally — even if she avoided it physically.
She admitted the closeness made her feel awkward and unsettled, despite how busy and fulfilled her life has been lately.
With five films completed in the past year alone, she’s been in a strong, productive place — yet that moment still managed to knock the wind out of her sails.
Feelings That Lingered After the Applause
The emotions didn’t immediately pass. Anderson described the experience as “a little yucky,” admitting it stayed with her even after she left the event.
While she said she hopes Rogen might one day reach out to acknowledge how hurtful the situation was, she also made it clear she isn’t waiting for closure to move forward.
Any apology, she said, would be welcome — but not necessary for her healing.
Fame Doesn’t Mean Everything Is Fair Game
During the interview, Anderson touched on a larger issue that still troubles her.
Being a public figure, she explained, often comes with the assumption that nothing is off-limits.
Yes, she understands that public life invites scrutiny — but she draws a firm line at personal trauma.
The most painful experiences of her life, she believes, should never be treated as open material for television drama.
That sense of violation, she said, is what truly angered her.
Never Quite Feeling at Home in Those Rooms
Anderson also admitted that award ceremonies still make her feel out of place.
Many of the people in attendance, she said, are connected to earlier chapters of her life — chapters she doesn’t always feel comfortable revisiting.
Even now, she sometimes feels like she’s tip-toeing around rooms filled with memories she’d rather leave behind.
What She Said — At Least in Her Head
Although she didn’t confront Rogen in person, Anderson joked that she had plenty to say internally.
In her mind, she imagined telling him exactly how the show made her feel and why it hurt as much as it did.
In reality, she kept her distance, choosing peace over confrontation.
Perspective After the Spotlight Fades
Despite the discomfort, Anderson was quick to put things into perspective.
She insisted the encounter hasn’t derailed her life or career and acknowledged that far more serious issues exist beyond Hollywood.
“Everything’s good,” she said simply, reminding herself — and others — that perspective matters.
A Longstanding Dispute With Pam & Tommy
This isn’t the first time Anderson has spoken out against the series.
In 2023, she revealed she learned about Pam & Tommy only after seeing an advertisement for it — a discovery that left her feeling blindsided and dismissed.
She said no one contacted her about the project, despite it centering on one of the most personal violations she ever endured.
Questioning the Story That Was Told
Anderson has also criticized the way she and Tommy Lee were portrayed in the show.
Although she hasn’t watched it herself, she said friends told her the depictions felt shallow and inaccurate.
Even if she had been approached, she believes she would have declined involvement.
Reopening those wounds, she said, held no appeal.
A Chapter She Never Wanted Reopened
The stolen tape, she has explained before, damaged her career and left long-lasting emotional scars — even as it boosted attention around her former husband.
She’s previously admitted to having nightmares after learning her sons were the ones who first told her a TV series was being made about it.
She’s never watched the tape, and she has no intention of watching the dramatization either.
Moving Forward on Her Own Terms
For Anderson, the Golden Globes moment was uncomfortable — but it wasn’t defining.
She continues to focus on her work, her growth, and reclaiming control over her own story, refusing to let others decide how her past should be told.
