Pamela Anderson Confronts Seth Rogen Over ‘Pam & Tommy’: “The Worst Period of My Life” – Urgent Breaking News
Beverly Hills, CA – January 16, 2026 – In a candid and emotionally charged interview, actress Pamela Anderson revealed she experienced nausea at the mere thought of Seth Rogen, stemming from his involvement in the 2022 Disney+ mini-series, ‘Pam & Tommy’. The revelation, made during an appearance on Andy Cohen Live, has ignited a fresh debate about the ethics of dramatizing deeply personal and traumatic events for entertainment, and is a major talking point following her appearance at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards.

The Golden Globes & A Lingering Discomfort
Anderson, 58, presented the award for best actress in a musical or comedy at the Golden Globes on January 11th, appearing radiant in white. However, she confessed to Cohen that the evening was overshadowed by Rogen’s presence. “It only takes one person to ruin everything,” she stated, immediately following the event, she “went straight to bed.” The source of her distress? Rogen’s role as co-producer and actor (playing Rand Gauthier) in ‘Pam & Tommy’, a series detailing the theft and release of her and Tommy Lee’s infamous sex tape.
“Ew”: Anderson’s Raw Reaction to ‘Pam & Tommy’
“Seth Rogen made this show without talking to me, you know, Pam & Tommy, and I just felt, ‘Ew,’” Anderson recounted, visibly mimicking a feeling of nausea. “How can someone make a TV series about the tough times in your life, when you’re a living, breathing human being?” The series, which aired in February 2022, depicted a particularly vulnerable period in Anderson’s life, a time she now describes as “the worst period of (her) life.” This isn’t simply a case of Hollywood drama; it’s a stark illustration of the power dynamics at play when personal trauma becomes public property.
The Ethics of Biographical Dramas in the Streaming Age
The controversy surrounding ‘Pam & Tommy’ isn’t isolated. The rise of streaming services has fueled a boom in biographical dramas, often focusing on sensationalized or controversial figures. While these series can be compelling, they raise critical questions about consent, privacy, and the responsibility of storytellers. Is it ethical to profit from someone else’s pain, even if the events are already public knowledge? Legal precedents surrounding defamation and privacy are constantly being tested as streaming platforms push boundaries. The case of ‘Pam & Tommy’ highlights the need for a more nuanced conversation about these issues, and potentially, industry-wide guidelines.

A Public Figure’s Right to Privacy?
Anderson further articulated her frustration with the perceived lack of privacy afforded to public figures. “When you are a public figure, we say that you do not have the right to private life,” she explained. “But your deepest, darkest secrets or life tragedies shouldn’t be easy prey for a TV series. It pissed me off a little.” Despite her anger, Anderson expressed a glimmer of hope for reconciliation. “I hope he eventually contacts me and apologizes,” she said, adding, “Not that it matters.” This sentiment underscores the complex emotions at play – a desire for acknowledgment, but a recognition that some wounds may never fully heal.
