Pamela Anderson Demands Seth Rogen Apology After Awkward Golden Globes Encounter
Pamela Anderson has reignited her long-running feud with Seth Rogen, revealing that being near him at the 2026 Golden Globes felt “yucky” and emotionally unsettling. Speaking candidly to Andy Cohen on SiriusXM, the actress made it clear she is still waiting for an apology from Rogen over his involvement in Hulu’s controversial limited series “Pam & Tommy.”
Seth Rogen attended the Globes as a major winner, taking home awards for his Apple TV+ comedy “The Studio.” Pamela Anderson, meanwhile, was also present at the ceremony, continuing her career resurgence after a prolific year that included five film projects.
“I’m a Living, Breathing Human Being”
According to Pamela Anderson, the discomfort stemmed from Seth Rogen executive-producing and starring in Pam & Tommy without ever consulting her. The series dramatized the theft and distribution of her private sex tape with ex-husband Tommy Lee—one of the most painful chapters of her life.
“He did ‘Pam & Tommy’ without talking to me,” Pamela Anderson said. “How can someone make a TV series out of difficult times in your life? I am a living, breathing human being over here.”
The actress explained that Seth Rogen was seated nearby in the awards show pit, making the situation unavoidable. While she did not confront him directly, Pamela Anderson admitted she played out the confrontation in her head, expressing everything she felt but never said aloud.

Privacy, Power, and Public Figures
Pamela Anderson emphasized that her frustration goes beyond one awkward awards show moment. At the heart of the issue is what she sees as a broader problem in Hollywood: the idea that public figures forfeit their right to privacy.
“When you are a public person, they say you have no right to privacy,” she said. “But your darkest, deepest secrets or tragedies should not be fair game for a TV series.”
This is not the first time Anderson has spoken out. In 2023, she publicly called the creators of Pam & Tommy “assholes” and stated that she was owed a public apology. The series went on to earn 10 Emmy nominations, including acting nods for Lily James, Sebastian Stan, and Rogen himself—acclaim that Anderson has said only added “salt on the wound.”

Still Waiting for Closure
Despite the years that have passed, Anderson says the lack of acknowledgment still stings. While she did not “make a beeline” for Seth Rogen at the Golden Globes, she remains hopeful—if skeptical—that he may eventually reach out.
“Eventually, hopefully, he will reach out to me to apologize,” she said. “Not that it matters—but it would mean something.”
As debates around consent, storytelling, and ethics in biographical TV intensify, Anderson’s comments once again spotlight the unresolved tension between creative freedom and personal trauma in modern Hollywood.
