Pamela Anderson chose to distance herself from Seth Rogen at the 2026 Golden Globes, citing lingering tension from his limited series Pam & Tommy that dramatized her private 1990s sex tape scandal without her consent. The ongoing Seth Rogen Pamela Anderson feud continues nearly four years after the Hulu series aired, affecting Anderson’s willingness to be near Rogen during the high-profile event.
The Strained Encounter at the Golden Globes Ceremony
During an interview with Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM show on January 15, Pamela Anderson described her discomfort at the awards ceremony where Seth Rogen was present. The actress recalled,
“He was in the pit at the Golden Globes so we were close,”
yet she felt overlooked and uneasy around him, saying,
“I was just like, ‘I’m not chopped liver over here.’ I felt a little bit weird about it.”
Anderson left the ceremony immediately after she and Miley Cyrus revealed Rose Byrne as the winner for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture—Drama and reportedly went straight to bed. She explained her unease at being near Rogen by stating, “I just felt like, ‘eh,’” adding, “It just felt yucky.” The proximity triggered unresolved feelings tied to the depiction of her private hardships on television without her approval.
She expressed frustration over how personal and painful moments in her life were turned into entertainment, questioning,
“How can someone make a TV series out of difficult times in your life?”
Her disapproval reinforced the emotional toll the show’s production had on her.
Anderson’s Inner Conflict and Hope for Apology
Despite the tension, Pamela Anderson remains open to reconciliation but noted Seth Rogen has yet to reach out to her regarding the series. She admitted feeling conflicted, confessing, “I feel uncomfortable,” and shared a private fantasy of confronting Rogen at the Beverly Hilton:
“So, I didn’t make a beeline for him, but in my mind I did. I told him how I felt.”
Anderson holds onto hope for an eventual apology. She reasoned,
“Eventually hopefully he will…maybe he’ll reach out to me and apologize,”
expressing the desire for closure after the public portrayal of her private tragedies. Her sentiment underscores the struggle celebrities face between public exposure and personal boundaries:
“When you are a public person, they say you have no right to privacy. But your darkest, deepest secrets or your tragedies in your life shouldn’t be fair game for a TV series. That pissed me off a little bit.”
Still, Anderson maintained perspective amid the feud’s discomfort, stating, “Not to complain,” and adding,
“Everything’s good. There’s worse things going on in the world.”

Clarifying Tan France and Bobby Berk’s Relationship
Bobby Berk addressed rumors of a rift with Tan France in early 2024, shortly after announcing his departure from Queer Eye following eight seasons. He assured fans,
“I want people to know that Tan and I—we will be fine,”
explaining that the issue was personal and unrelated to the show. He clarified,
“There was a situation, and that’s between Tan and I, and it has nothing to do with the show. It was something personal that had been brewing—and nothing romantic, just to clarify that.”
Tan France later denied claims he urged producers to replace Bobby with his friend Jeremiah Brent, stating,
“Netflix and the production companies did a full-on casting. I didn’t put my friend up for the job. They ended up getting it because they were the best person for the job. But I didn’t get them hired by getting rid of somebody else.”

“He goes, ‘What are you, what have you done in this industry?’”

He explained that although he spoke to Johnson’s producing partner, he had not communicated with Johnson directly. Reflecting on his public statements, Tyrese added,

She added,
“So…it’s sad but I’m kind of…I don’t know, I always think that what ties us together is this singular experience is the thing. It was a professional experience but it became personal because it was years and years of our lives. So I’m hoping that that sort of eclipses anything that’s been recently spoken. That many years spent doing something so special that people had a connection with is such a privileged.”
Though they did not appear together on screen, Kim made a brief appearance on And Just Like That.

“I was going to make millions off my Bruno Mars tour, and I sacrificed that to stay with my daughter. I love my daughter. I’m a good-ass f–king mom.
