Pamela Anderson regrets ‘horrible’ comments from 2017 #MeToo

Pamela Anderson expressed regret over her controversial 2017 #MeToo comments in which she stated, “You know what you’re getting into if you go to a hotel room alone.”

The Baywatch star, 55, came under fire for her comments in an interview with Megyn Kelly about sexual harassment and sexual assault allegations against Harvey Weinstein.

She said: ‘I think this Me Too movement is too much for me. I’m sorry, I’ll probably get killed for saying that… but my mother taught me, don’t go to a hotel with a stranger.

“It was common knowledge that certain producers or certain people in Hollywood are people to avoid, in private. You know what you’re getting into if you go to a hotel room alone.

In a chat with Ronan Farrow to Magazine Interview Posted on Wednesday, the star said of the 2017 interview: “It was a horrible thing to say, but that’s just me.”

Elaborating on his 2017 comments, he said: ‘It might even go a step further. My mother used to tell me, and I think this is the kind of feminism I grew up with, it takes two to tango. Trust me, I’ve been in a lot of situations where it’s like, “Come on girl, sit on the bed.”

“But my mom would say, ‘If someone answers the door in a hotel gown and you’re going for an interview, don’t go in. But if you do go in, get the job.'” That’s a horrible thing to say, but that was me. I skidded on the edges of destruction.

‘He just had this sense of worth and self-esteem. But I think a lot of people don’t have that or weren’t taught it. Thank god for the #MeToo movement because things have changed and people are much more careful and respectful.

Anderson was forced to clarify her comments after she was widely criticized after the 2017 interview, in which she also said: “Don’t go to a hotel room alone.” If someone answers the door in a bathrobe, leave.

“These are common sense things, but I know that Hollywood is very seductive and people want to be famous. Sometimes you think you’re going to be safe with an adult in a room. I don’t know where this security comes from, but somehow I dodged it all.

He later said on Instagram: ‘Backlash is good. – I like this. My position is not “problematic” because [it] it doesn’t fall in line with the common herd or trend. I’m trying to say to women as survivors of child abuse: It’s important to be proactive as an adult who knows best, to stand up for yourself.’

Earlier this month, disgraced Hollywood movie producer Weinstein asked the New York supreme court to overturn his 2020 rape and sexual assault conviction, saying the Manhattan trial judge succumbed to inertia created by the #MeToo movement.

In a filing with the state Court of Appeals, Weinstein’s lawyers accused Magistrate Judge James Burke of caving in to “pressure from an influential social movement determined to punish centuries of male misconduct by setting an example by convicting a man, Harvey Weinstein.”

Disgraced: Earlier this month, disgraced Hollywood movie producer Weinstein asked the New York supreme court to overturn his 2020 rape and sexual assault conviction, saying the Manhattan trial judge succumbed to the inertia created by the #MeToo movement.

The lawyers said a series of errors by the judge, including allowing four women to testify about alleged conduct for which Weinstein was not charged, undermined their client’s presumption of innocence.

They want the Court of Appeals to overturn their convictions and their 23-year prison sentence, dismiss the rape charge because it was filed too late, and order a new trial on a single criminal sex act charge.

“A defendant cannot be tried for his character, but for the conduct for which he has been accused,” Weinstein’s attorney, Arthur Aidala, said in a statement.

The office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, whose predecessor, Cyrus Vance, brought the Manhattan case, is expected to respond to Weinstein’s report.

Weinstein has denied having any non-consensual sexual encounters with anyone.

He is also awaiting sentencing, including a possible 18-year prison term, in Los Angeles after a jury there convicted him last month of raping and sexually assaulting a former model and actress at a hotel.

Jurors in Manhattan convicted Weinstein in February 2020 of sexually assaulting a former production assistant in 2006 and raping an aspiring actress in 2013.

That verdict was considered a landmark for #MeToo, where women have accused hundreds of men in entertainment, media, politics and other fields of sexual misconduct.
