After Pamela Anderson played C.J. Parker in the popular television series Baywatch, she immediately became popular and was dubbed a global sex symbol for her remarkable beauty and outstanding performance. However, the achievement became both a blessing and a curse for her as the moniker followed her throughout her career, ultimately changing her public perception.
While talking about her career run in a recent interview, Pamela Anderson opened up about how her sex symbol popularity affected her family, most especially her two sons, who had to grow up with her notorious reputation.
Pamela Anderson says her two sons were traumatized by her sex symbol title
Aside from her bimbo personality, Pamela Anderson has a long marriage list as she has been married and divorced four times, with Motley Crue drummer Thomas Lee, who she welcomed her two sons with being her first. Pamela Anderson went viral during her marriage to Lee as their private home video made it to the internet and was circulated as a sex tape after an intruder attack on their home.

Pamela Anderson tried her best to protect her son’s innocence after becoming a mother of two by raising them away from the public eye. However, the 57-year-old revealed that this didn’t work even though she thought it did then until her sons grew up and shared their experience and trauma about their mom being a sex symbol icon.
The actress has no regrets about her life
In retrospect, the actress revealed that she has no regrets about the decisions she has taken during her career, while she admitted that she could have approached some of them differently. With both of her kids now independent and successful, Anderson explained that a lot of the burden she had as a parent has been relieved.
The actress also added that she can now prioritize herself and look into professional prospects that genuinely appeal to her as she is no longer burdened by the demands of upholding a relationship or managing family responsibilities.
