Pamela Anderson recently voiced her discomfort regarding an encounter with Seth Rogen at the 2026 Golden Globes, labeling the moment "yucky". The actress and model expressed her feelings on Andy Cohen's SiriusXM show, "Radio Andy".
Anderson's unease stems from Rogen's involvement in the Hulu series "Pam & Tommy," which dramatized her relationship with ex-husband Tommy Lee and the unauthorized release of their sex tape in the 1990s. The series, which Rogen executive produced and starred in as Rand Gauthier, the electrician who stole and distributed the tape, was created without Anderson's consent or participation.
At the Golden Globes, Anderson presented the award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy to Rose Byrne. Rogen also attended, winning two awards for his Apple TV series "The Studio". Anderson revealed that she left the event and "went right to bed" after spotting Rogen in the crowd. She described feeling "weird" being in close proximity to him. "[He was] in the pit at the Golden Globes, so we were close," Anderson stated. "I felt a little bit weird about it".
Anderson told Cohen, "Seth Rogen, he did that [series] without talking to me, you know, 'Pam & Tommy,' and that was another...I just felt like, 'Eh.' You know?". She further questioned how someone could create a TV series based on the difficult times in her life without her input. "How can someone make a TV series out of the difficult times in your life, and 'I'm a living, breathing human being over here. Hello," she added. She said she felt like she was "not chopped liver".
Despite feeling uncomfortable, Anderson admitted she didn't directly confront Rogen. "I didn't make a beeline for him," she said, but "in my mind, I did. And really told him how I felt". She also said, "I'm already tiptoeing around him. It's so uncomfortable being around everybody there...So I still don't feel like I belong in those rooms...I feel like, you know, uncomfortable".
Anderson has been open about her disapproval of "Pam & Tommy" since its release. In a 2023 interview with Variety, she called the series "salt on the wound" and stated that Rogen still owes her a public apology. Addressing the broader issue of privacy for public figures, Anderson told Cohen, "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".
While Anderson hopes Rogen will eventually apologize, she asserted that she isn't letting the situation bother her. "Everything's good," she stated, adding, "I mean, there's worse things going on in the world".
