The love story of Pamela Anderson, the woman of five marriages, 14 covers of "Playboy" and an intimate video
The former "bunny" was given a new opportunity in love with producer Jon Peters, whom she met more than three decades ago, but to get to him she had to go through turbulent relationships
She went through four failed marriages, was the victim of the leak of an intimate video with her as the protagonist that went around the world, suffered attacks and infidelities from her partners and even with all that, Pamela Anderson feels a lucky woman.
The "bunny" with the record for the most appearances in Playboy (14 covers and 15 photo shoots) got married for the fifth time and due to one of those strange coincidences that give life magic, it was precisely at the Playboy mansion where she met her new husband, producer Jon Peters.
The meeting occurred in the mid-1980s, when Pamela was not even 20 years old. The young woman had just moved from Canada to Los Angeles to try to forge a career in the entertainment world.
“I went in and in the bar I saw that little angel sitting. It was Pammy. She was like 19 years old. I knew she would be a big star, "Peters recalled in 2017, in an interview for The Hollywood Reporter.
“We ended up living together. Of course, Hefner loved her and saw her beauty. Pamela was a girl who was beautiful without makeup. She was very smart and talented. "
Peters tried to get Anderson out of the Playboy world. "Focus on a serious career," he told her, but Pamela was determined to succeed as a bunny and boy did she do it.
From that time, Peters - who is now 74 years old - recalled that Pamela was also an ambitious girl who knew what she wanted and was also clear on how to get it.
“She was her like the first Kardashian. She is very smart. She raised two children alone. She was beaten up all the time by that guy, Tommy, whatever his name is. I picked her up many times from her attorney's office and took her with hers, her children, and hid her in Aspen for a month because the guy was beating her, ”Peters said of her bond with Anderson.
However, for the romance to come to fruition between the producer of A Star is Born and the Playboy star, it took more than 30 years and several love misunderstandings.
In that interview for The Hollywood Reporter it was clear that Peters watched with great admiration. “She did it. She raised the children. She has money. She has a career. She lives in Paris. She is the modern Marilyn Monroe. She is unique. And I think that's why Hefner gave you the covers of it. He really did love her. And that's how we met ”.
Although Peters also had his track record thanks to romances with top stars like Barbra Streisand, his recent reunion with Pamela had the strength to take them to the next step in just a few months.
Nothing from Julian Assage and much less from Adil Rami, the footballer whom Anderson accused - through an extensive and revealing message through Instagram - of having been unfaithful.
It seems that Pamela - the blonde who in the 90s became a TV icon with Guardians of the Bay (Baywatch), thanks to her red swimsuit and her sensual slow-motion run on the beach - has not given up on her search for love.
Unlike others of her scandalous marriages, such as the one aboard a yacht with Kid Rock, where Pamela's wedding dress was a white bikini, now the actress decided to perform an intimate and discreet ceremony to seal the love of her with Peters.
They were married on January 20, 2020 in Malibu, California and, again, Peters spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about what it meant to join her life with Pamela.
“There are beautiful girls everywhere. I could have chosen, but for 35 years I have only loved Pamela. She makes me wild in a good way. She inspires me. I protect her and treat her the way she deserves to be treated. "
And it is that the producer continues to admire Pamela beyond her status as a sex symbol. "He has never seen her full potential as her artist. She still has to shine. There is so much more to her than meets the eye, otherwise I wouldn't love her so much."
Anderson responded to the words of her now husband with a poem where she made it clear how in love she is with her.
“Jon is the real 'bad boy' of Hollywood - no one compares to him, I love him deeply as a family ... We understand and respect each other. We love each other unconditionally, I am a lucky woman. The proof that God has a plan.
But for Pamela to reach this point of redemption she had to go through some little hells.
The Wild Tommy Lee
Perhaps her most famous romance was the one she had with rocker Tommy Lee. They were married in February 1995 on a beach in Cancun, just 96 hours after meeting. An indication of what that relationship would be.
Only eight friends as guests, a white bikini instead of a wedding dress and tattoos instead of rings were the curious details behind their link.
Passion overflowed them and their honeymoon would end up turning into a nightmare some time later.
Pamela and Tommy Lee decided to record themselves having sex on board a yacht and saved their home video to remember those wild days after their wedding.
Hell began when the couple decided to remodel a mansion in Malibu to reside.
The workers in charge suffered from the whims and protests of the couple and it was an electrician, Rand Gauthier, who got fed up with the situation and planned a revenge against them.
For months he planned a robbery that he executed effectively and among all the objects he stole was a real treasure: the intimate video of Pamela and Tommy.
The electrician contacted people in the porn industry in California and although the use of the Internet was not that wide yet, the material went around the world in just a few days. For many years it was the most popular sex tape.
"I think I got to be in the Guinness Book of Records with the most downloaded video in history. And worst of all is that I was a pioneer in that sense, I started a trend that has served to make many girls rise to fame Some of them are very sweet and I know they admire me, but they should never have done something like that, it is degrading, "the actress acknowledged.
But the sex tape was not the only scandal in the complicated relationship of Pamela and Tommy Lee, father of her two children. The Mötley Crue musician was arrested and sentenced to six months in prison for beating the actress and it appears that assaults were a constant in her marriage, which ended in 1998.
Bret michaels
Pamela briefly dated the lead singer of Poison prior to her marriage to Tommy Lee and it seems that sex tapes were a common occurrence in her romances.
An intimate material of the actress and the rocker also came to light, but without the same force as that of Tommy Lee. Both managed to block the dissemination of the material and today only a few traces remain on the Internet, but none of the explicit scenes that - it is said - contained the material.
Marcus schenkenberg
Already with her heart replenished after her bitter drink with Tommy Lee, Pamela gave herself a new chance in love, with the Swedish model and actor Marcus Schenkenberg.
Unlike the rocker, Pamela managed to hide her romance and avoid the spotlight of the press.
They were engaged between 2000 and 2001, but the couple did not make it to the altar. Pamela said that she was looking for "something different", someone with more passion.
Kid Rock
And is that Anderson has a weakness for "bad guys" and turbulent relationships, as happened with the singer Kid Rock.
As soon as she broke off her engagement to Schenkenberg, Pamela began dating the singer and they got engaged in 2002, but the following year they broke up.
The passion was not extinguished and in July 2006 they were unexpectedly married aboard a yacht in Saint Tropez and, again, Pamela's wedding dress was her white bikini.
They had two other weddings to make the matter legal, but their love did not last long and in November of that same year they announced their separation. "Unfortunately it was impossible," said Pamela, who just 17 days earlier had announced that she had an abortion.
Rick salomon
Pamela Anderson did not mind that the poker player leaked the intimate video that she recorded with Paris Hilton. Her attraction to the "bad boys" was stronger and she ended up married to Salomon in October 2007 in Las Vegas, but two months later they separated and by early 2008 they were legally separated.
The actress, it seems, did not learn her lesson and not only gave Salomon a new chance in 2013, in January 2014 they married again.
And again the romance did not last. In July 2014 they were no longer together and in April 2015 they were divorced and Rick had to give him a million dollars as part of their agreement.
Adil Rami
After a few years of pause in love, where she began her crusade against porn, Pamela resumed her love life with the French soccer player Adil Rami, a man almost 20 years her junior.
In social networks and public appearances it seemed that everything was love between the couple, but Pamela she confessed in June 2019 that she had been "scammed" by him, whom she even defined as a "lying monster".
“It is difficult to accept. The last two years of my life have been a big lie. They deceived me, they made me believe that we were living a great love? I'm devastated, ”she wrote on Instagram.
“He has tried everything. He has sent me flowers, letters, which I have not accepted. He came to my hotel and security took him away. I have a bodyguard because it scares me. He has hurt me and threatened me on numerous occasions, ”she added in her message where he revealed the footballer's infidelity.
And although in recent years Pamela was also related to Julian Assange, it seems that between them there was nothing but friendship and admiration.
Now, Pamela seems to have found love again, the most important thing according to herself.
"Love is the most important. Everything else doesn't make sense "
