Pamela Anderson SLAMS former PM Scott Morrison in explosive new memoir over his ‘insensitive’ comments
Pamela Anderson has lashed out at former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison over ‘insensitive’ comments he made during the actress’ visit to Australia in 2019.
The Baywatch star, 55, claims she asked him to campaign for the release of jailed Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, but was left unimpressed by his response.
‘After I wrote an open letter to Mr Morrison, he responded cheekily in the press by saying he’d love to meet me if he could bring a few of his buddies along,’ she wrote.

She added: ‘That didn’t go over well. Women were unimpressed with his insensitive remarks, which, by then, had reached the international press.’
Anderson then said the main reason she visited the country in 2019 was to meet Julian’s mother Christine so they could work together to campaign for his release from prison.
Assange, 51, is an Australian editor who came to international attention in 2006 when he founded the WikiLeaks website which released classified US government data.
He was later jailed for computer espionage and is currently being held in a supermax prison in London as the United States fights to extradite him to stand trial there.
‘After I wrote an open letter to Mr Morrison, he responded cheekily in the press by saying he’d love to meet me if he could bring a few of his buddies along,’ she wrote
Pamela is also a political activist who visited Assange in prison and has been campaigning for years to bring ‘positive awareness’ to his situation.
‘I tried to find clever ways to help my friend, to bring attention to Julian’s wrongful incarceration,’ she wrote in her memoir.
It comes after Pamela, who refused to watch the Pam and Tommy series or read a note written by actress Lily James meant to reassure her about it, released her memoirs and a Netflix documentary telling her side of things on January 31.
In an interview with People, the former Baywatch star said her sons, Brandon, 26, and Dylan, 25, whom she shares with ex-husband Tommy Lee, 60, encouraged her to come forward.
‘It’s just one girl’s story of how I made it through: a small-town girl going to Los Angeles and just going through all the wild and crazy adventures I did and then circling back and going home.’
