Pamela Anderson, the enigmatic star of "The Last Showgirl," opened up about her intricate relationship with Motley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee during a candid interview on Andy Cohen's SiriusXM show, "Andy Cohen Live," on Thursday. At 57, Anderson admitted that communications between her and the 62-year-old rocker have dwindled in recent times.
Cohen, 56, inquisitively asked, "Forgive me, but is Brandon's dad Tommy?" to which Anderson responded, "Both of them are. Same father," referring to her sons, Brandon, 28, and Dylan, 27. When Cohen delved further to inquire if they were still on the same page, Anderson expressed, "We used to talk a lot more. Not recently, unfortunately, but I truly wish we had a better rapport now."
Adding a poignant twist to her revelation, Anderson shared, "My youngest son is engaged, and we're anticipating grandchildren together. It'll all be alright eventually; it's just a challenging phase right now."
Anderson and Lee's whirlwind romance culminated in marriage in 1995, and they welcomed their eldest child, Brandon, in 1996. Despite their fiery relationship, they divorced in 1998 but continued a rollercoaster pattern of reunions and separations.
Lee's notorious jealousy over Anderson was infamously highlighted in a dramatic incident where he destroyed her "Baywatch" trailer upon discovering an on-screen kiss with co-star David Chokachi. Chokachi, portraying lifeguard Cody Madison, shared romantic scenes with Anderson's character, C.J. Parker, much to Lee's chagrin.
Last March, Chokachi recounted the harrowing incident. "I was there when he destroyed her trailer," he told Fox News Digital. "I heard things shattering and didn't know what was happening. I learned later that he had wrecked her $1 million trailer." Chokachi added, "He wasn't inherently a bad person, and we even had dinner and partied together a few times. But he was incredibly jealous and couldn't stomach seeing his wife kissing another man on camera. He threatened the producers' lives; I tried reasoning, 'It's just TV!'"
Over the years, Anderson has vocalized about Lee's jealousy in her memoir, "Love, Pamela," and the Netflix documentary, "Pamela, A Love Story." In the 2023 documentary, she shared that Lee would "sneak in" to her trailer during filming, demanding his time with her. Reading an excerpt from her diary, Anderson revealed she hadn't informed Lee about the kiss and apologized profusely after he found out, saying, "He came and trashed my trailer. He punched through a cabinet. I apologized for not telling him – lying, as he saw it – and promised it wouldn't happen again."
Chokachi described the situation as "very sad," highlighting Anderson's nervousness and the unease at home. "She'd have to tell him we were shooting elsewhere if there was a make-out scene, fearing he'd go ballistic if he saw her kissing me," he recalled. "She was always on edge, and it was heartbreaking to see such an amazing person treated poorly."
Post-divorce, Anderson's romantic life took several twists and turns. She married Kid Rock in 2006 but separated a year later. In October 2007, she tied the knot with professional poker player Rick Salomon. Their marriage was annulled in March 2008 but they remarried and divorced again in 2014. Rumors of her marrying Jon Peters in 2020 emerged, but Anderson clarified in December 2020 that the marriage lasted just 12 days, although she denied the rumors entirely in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter's "Awards Chatter" podcast. In January 2021, she announced her marriage to her bodyguard, Dan Hayhurst, but a representative confirmed their separation in January 2022.
Meanwhile, Lee has found happiness with comedian Brittany Furlan, whom he married in February 2019 after meeting on dating app Raya in 2017.
