KEY POINTS

  • Pamela Anderson opened up about her leaked sex tape and more on "CBS Sunday Morning"
  • Anderson said the sex tape was a "stolen property" with two crazy naked people in love
  • She added motherhood saved her; otherwise, she would not have survived

Pamela Anderson got candid about her and her ex-husband Tommy Lee's stolen sex video.

Anderson opened up about the leaked sex tape with her ex-husband in her "CBS Sunday Morning" interview with Jim Axelrod. She called it "stolen property" and said she has never watched it. She also addressed her childhood trauma and six marriages while promoting her memoir "Love, Pamela" and the new Netflix documentary "Pamela, a love story."

The sex tape was filmed during a 1995 vacation to Lake Mead. When asked what she wanted people to "understand" about the infamous tape, she stressed that it was "stolen property."

"That it was stolen property, that it was two crazy naked people in love," she said in the interview. "I mean, we were naked all the time and filming each other and being silly, but those tapes were not meant for anybody else to see."

She continued, "And I've not seen it to this day."

The video was stolen from her and Lee's home, along with the safe, where it was held inside, by a disgruntled employee. Anderson said the whole thing was "very hurtful."

The sex tape was recreated in Hulu's "Pam & Tommy," released in February 2022. However, sources said she also hasn't watched it and has no plans to do so.

"I do know she'll never, never watch this," an unnamed source told Entertainment Weekly. "Not even years from now. Not even the trailer."

Another anonymous source told People that the eight-episode series starring Lily James and Sebastian Stan was "re-exploiting Pamela."

"After the tape was made public, it was a very traumatizing situation, and it's unfair that she is being re-subjected to this trauma, like re-opening a wound," the insider said.

"Pamela deserves a level of respect. She's a human being and a mom. There's a sense of hypocrisy about it. It's her life, and she should have the decision [as to] whether it's turned into a commodity for public consumption."

In the same interview, the "Baywatch" star also said motherhood saved her. Anderson and Lee share two sons Brandon, 26, and Dylan, 25.

"I was a mother. That saved me," she said, per People. "You know, if I wasn't a mom, I don't think I would've survived."

Elsewhere in the interview, the "Barb Wire" star said she's in a "really good place" from her home on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.

"I feel like I've left here, did something crazy and came back in one piece," Anderson continued. "Like I said, I don't know what I'm capable of. I still don't know, but I think that was the beginning ... all the rest of it, it's, you know, behind me. I feel like I'm in a really good place."
