PAMELA ANDERSON

PAMELA ANDERSON

In addition to PAMELA ANDERSON's fame from modeling and acting, Anderson has received a great deal of press attention for her well-publicized personal life. Her relationships have made headlines in gossip magazines for years. She married Tommy Lee, drummer of Mötley Crüe, on February 19, 1995 after knowing him for only 96 hours and the couple eventually had two sons, Brandon Thomas Lee (b. June 6, 1996) and Dylan Jagger Lee (b. December 29, 1997). During this time, she was known professionally as Pamela Anderson Lee. Anderson filed for divorce from him twice and reconciled with him twice, before the couple finally broke up for good. On February 25, 1998, Tommy abused Pamela and then was arrested. The next day, Pamela filed for divorce from him. Then, on February 28, 1998, the divorce was official for only two days of filing for divorce. Tommy was sentenced for six months in jail. In May 1998, he had to go to anger management therapy and pay off Anderson's legal fees. In March 2002, Anderson publicly stated that she had contracted the Hepatitis C virus from Lee (supposedly from sharing tattoo needles), and began writing a regular column for Jane magazine. In October 2003, Anderson jokingly said on Howard Stern's radio show that she does not expect to live more than ten or fifteen years, but this was misconstrued and taken seriously by many Web sites and tabloids. Tommy Lee denies having the disease.[citation needed] Today, Anderson and Lee are just friends.[citation needed] She however admitted to newspapers that she still often had sex with him since their divorce.
