Pamela Anderson expressed lingering discomfort toward Seth Rogen nearly four years after the Hulu series Pam & Tommy, produced by Rogen’s company, portrayed her and ex-husband Tommy Lee’s 1990s sex tape scandal. During the 2026 Golden Globes, the actress openly revealed she chose to distance herself from Rogen and left the ceremony early, highlighting ongoing tensions. The Pamela Anderson Seth Rogen dynamic remains strained as Pamela awaits an apology she feels has yet to come.
Pamela Anderson’s Uneasy Encounter with Seth Rogen at the Golden Globes
Pamela Anderson spoke candidly about the awkward atmosphere at the 2026 Golden Globes during an interview with Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM show on January 15. She recounted that Seth Rogen was seated in the crowd nearby when she was presenting an award alongside Miley Cyrus. Pamela felt overlooked despite their physical proximity and described the experience as uncomfortable.
He was in the pit at the Golden Globes so we were close,
Pamela recalled to Andy Cohen.
I was just like, ‘I’m not chopped liver over here.’ I felt a little bit weird about it.
After announcing Rose Byrne as the winner of Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture — Drama, Pamela said she left immediately and went to bed early. She admitted that being so close to Seth Rogen stirred discomfort and unease.
I just felt like, ‘eh,’ Pamela said, reflecting on her feelings during the event. She questioned the morality of turning private and painful moments into televised entertainment.
How can someone make a TV series out of difficult times in your life?
Pamela asked rhetorically. It just felt yucky.
The Fallout from “Pam & Tommy” and Pamela’s Hope for Reconciliation
The Hulu series Pam & Tommy reignited public interest in Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee’s private struggles, an ordeal Pamela still seems to resent. The actress revealed she imagined confronting Seth Rogen about the show during the Golden Globes but chose not to approach him in person, despite internally rehearsing what she wanted to say.
I feel uncomfortable, Pamela admitted.
So, I didn’t make a beeline for him, but in my mind I did. I told him how I felt.
Despite no apology from Rogen or his team, Pamela remains somewhat hopeful for an eventual acknowledgment.
Eventually hopefully he will…maybe he’ll reach out to me and apologize,
she said.
When you are a public person, they say you have no right to privacy. But your darkest, deepest secrets or your tragedies in your life shouldn’t be fair game for a TV series. That pissed me off a little bit.
While the episode has left Pamela hurt and guarded, she also recognized that her issues with Rogen are minor compared to broader global concerns.
Not to complain, she stated.
Everything’s good. There’s worse things going on in the world.

I want people to know that Tan and I—we will be fine,
he told Vanity Fair.
There was a situation, and that’s between Tan and I, and it has nothing to do with the show. It was something personal that had been brewing—and nothing romantic, just to clarify that.
In response, Tan France denied allegations he helped replace Bobby on the show with his friend Jeremiah Brent, emphasizing the casting decisions were impartial.
Netflix and the production companies did a full-on casting. I didn’t put my friend up for the job. They ended up getting it because they were the best person for the job,

But I didn’t get them hired by getting rid of somebody else.

So…it’s sad but I’m kind of…I don’t know, I always think that what ties us together is this singular experience is the thing. It was a professional experience but it became personal because it was years and years of our lives. So I’m hoping that that sort of eclipses anything that’s been recently spoken,
she continued.
That many years spent doing something so special that people had a connection with is such a privileged.
