HOLLYWOOD – Pamela Anderson is reportedly choosing to ignore singer Lorde’s recent comments and references to her infamous sex tape with ex-husband Tommy Lee, but would prefer the subject be left in the past, according to an insider.
Lorde, whose real name is Ella Yelich-O’Connor, recently revealed in an interview with Rolling Stone that she watched the 1995 tape after a psychedelic therapy session, calling it “beautiful” and filled with “purity.” The “Royals” hitmaker also referenced the tape in her new song, “Current Affairs.”
The comments have drawn criticism online, with some accusing Lorde of insensitivity, given Anderson’s history of exploitation and trauma surrounding the unauthorized release of the video.
However, according to a source speaking to the Daily Mail, Anderson herself is largely unconcerned. “She’s not mad at Lorde, because she doesn’t know who she is, but she would rather not have this out there,” the source stated. “It is just a headache to deal with when she just wants to live her life.”
The insider emphasized the lasting impact of the sex tape on Anderson’s life. “The video changed her life forever and a lot of bad came from it that she doesn’t like remembering or thinking about,” they said. “It is painful that she always has to relive that moment in her life.”
Anderson and Lee, who divorced in 1998, recorded the tape privately. It was later stolen and distributed without their consent, generating millions of dollars in revenue that the couple reportedly never saw.
The “Baywatch” star has worked to redefine her career in recent years, earning praise for more serious roles and upcoming films like “Naked Gun.” She is also known for her recent embrace of a makeup-free look and a focus on more “important” work.
The source reiterated Anderson’s desire to move on from the past. “Anderson wants people to focus on her current accomplishments and forget about Baywatch and her sex tape past.”
