Pamela Anderson revealed feeling uneasy being in the same space as Seth Rogen during the 2026 Golden Globes, citing his involvement in Hulu’s Pam & Tommy as the core reason.

Anderson Opens Up About Her Emotional Response to the Series
Discussing her reaction, Anderson said,
I left after my award and I went right to bed,
and added,
Seth Rogen, like, he did that [show] on me without talking to me. You know, ‘Pam & Tommy,’ and … I just felt like, ‘Eh.’
She found the decision to dramatize difficult moments from her life disturbing, stating,
Like, how can someone make a TV series out of difficult times in your life? I’m a living, breathing human being over here. Hello!
Anderson Felt Neglected Despite Rogen’s Success at the Event
Despite Rogen’s prominence at the Golden Globes—where he won Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy and Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy for Apple TV’s The Studio—Anderson felt overlooked. Positioned physically near Rogen during the ceremony, she reflected,
I just felt like, ‘I’m not chop liver over here,’
and admitted,
I felt a little bit weird about it.
The Lingering Impact of Pam & Tommy on Anderson
While Anderson’s busy schedule often lessens the emotional impact of the show, she still finds moments when the experience stings. She confessed,

Background of Pam & Tommy and Its Controversies
Pam & Tommy is a biographical drama developed by Robert Siegel, inspired by Amanda Chicago Lewis’ 2014 Rolling Stone article,
Pam and Tommy: The Untold Story of the World’s Most Infamous Sex Tape.
The series, produced without Anderson or her ex-husband Tommy Lee’s approval, centers on the couple’s struggle following the theft and release of their private sex tape. Lily James and Sebastian Stan portrayed Anderson and Lee, respectively, while Seth Rogen took on the role of Rand Gauthier, the man who stole the tape.
Rogen’s performance earned critical praise, including nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie at the Primetime Emmys and Best Supporting Actor – Television Limited Series/Motion Picture at the Golden Globes.
Anderson’s Stance on the Series Remains Firm
At the time Pam & Tommy premiered, Anderson openly stated she had no desire to watch the show. She criticized the production in her Netflix documentary, Pamela, A Love Story, emphasizing that producers should have had [her] permission before proceeding with the series about her personal life.
