Looks like Pamela Anderson won’t be making a cameo on The Studio. She told Andy Cohen on a SiriusXM radio interview that she did not enjoy sitting near Seth Rogen at the Golden Globe Awards, and that his presence made her feel “yucky.” Rogen starred in and produced the 2022 Hulu miniseries Pam & Tommy, which dramatized Anderson’s real-life tumultuous relationship (and sex-tape scandal) with Tommy Lee. “He did Pam & Tommy without talking to me,” Anderson said. “I just felt like, ugh. How can someone make a TV series out of difficult times in your life? And I am a living, breathing human being over here.”
“He was in the pit at the Golden Globes,” Anderson continued. “So we were close. I felt like, I’m not chopped liver over here. I felt weird about it.” At the Globes, Anderson, a previous nominee for The Last Showgirl, presented Best Actress in a Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy to Rogen’s Neighbors collaborator Rose Byrne. Rogen won two Globes that night as well: Best Actor in a TV Series — Musical or Comedy and Best TV Series — Musical or Comedy.
“I’ve been so busy working,” Anderson added. “I’ve done five movies in the last year. I’ve just been busy. Sometimes it hits you and you just feel down. It felt a little yucky. Eventually, hopefully, he will reach out to me to apologize, not that it matters.” Cohen then pointed out that an apology could really mean something. “When you are a public person, they say you have no right to privacy,” Anderson explained. “But your darkest, deepest secrets or tragedies in your life should not be fair game for a TV series. That pissed me off a little bit.” She didn’t talk to the actor at all. “I didn’t make a beeline for him,” Anderson told Cohen. “But in my mind, I did. And really told him how I felt.” Rogen has not yet responded to Anderson’s statements. Look out for a pissed-off-actress character in the next season of his show, though.
