Pamela Anderson details years of sexual abuse

Actress Pamela Anderson created a stir in Cannes by revealing details of horrific sexual abuse she suffered as a child.

The Baywatch star told guests at the launch of her animal welfare organisation, The Pamela Anderson Foundation, that she had been molested at six, raped at 12 and gang-raped some years later.

The 46-year-old was quoted by RadarOnline as saying, “Despite loving parents, I was molested at age six by a female babysitter.”

“I went to a friend’s boyfriend’s house and his older brother decided to teach me backgammon which led into rape”. He was 25 years old and I was 12,” Ms Anderson said.

She also added that she had later been gang-raped by an ex-boyfriend and his friends.

The Barb Wire star, who has long been an advocate for animal rights, said,”This meant I had a hard time trusting humans. My loyalty was to the animal kingdom. I vowed to protect them and only them.”

Pamela Anderson, best known for her appearances on TV series Baywatch, is a model, actress, producer and activist. She is also known for her high profile relationships with musicians Tommy Lee and Kid Rock, and is now married to producer Rick Salomon.
