Pamela Anderson has revealed she isn’t on the best of terms with her ex-husband Tommy Lee, and wishes she had a better relationship with him.
The 57-year-old actress was talking on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live when he asked about her relationship with the father of her two sons, Brandon, 28, and Dylan, 27.
When Andy asked if the pair were ‘capisce,’ as per multiple US outlets, she replied, ‘I mean, we used to talk a lot more. Not recently, unfortunately, but you know, I wish we did have a better rapport right now.’
She continued, ‘My youngest son is engaged and we’re gonna have grandkids together. It’ll be okay, eventually. It’s just kind of a moment right now.’
Pamela, 57, and Motley Crue drummer Tommy, 62, were married between 1995 and 1998.
Their relationship has recently been subject to the controversial Hulu/Disney+ Star Hub TV drama, Pam & Tommy, starring Lily James and Sebastian Stan.

The former Playboy model didn’t take kindly to the show – having had no involvement in its creation – and said it would never get her approval.
The series documents their romance, and the fallout of Pamela’s sex tape scandal, which happened when explicit footage of the star was stolen and distributed around the world.
Reacting to the hit series in her own documentary about her life, Palema: A Love Story, the Baywatch actress said: ‘I blocked that stolen tape out of my life in order to survive. Now that it’s all coming up again, I feel sick.
‘I want to take control of the narrative for the first time. I didn’t feel like I had a lot of respect.
‘I had to make a career out of the pieces left. But I’m not the damsel in distress. I put myself in crazy situations and survived them.’
Later speaking to Variety, the star even went as far to describe the creators of Pam & Tommy as ‘a**holes’.
‘When I first heard about the Pam & Tommy series, I think everyone just protected me from it. I wouldn’t get involved. And that’s… yeah… I don’t know,’ she began.
‘I just think it was interesting to hear about it. It didn’t make me happy.’

‘A**holes!’, she exclaimed with a laugh, before clarifying: ‘Not a**holes but, salt on the wound.’
She branded the Hulu miniseries ‘not necessary’ but shrugged: ‘Anyway, it happened.’
In her 2023 memoir, Pamela confessed the end of their marriage was ‘the hardest, lowest, most difficult point of my life’.
Despite having been married three times since then, she wrote in her book that her ‘relationship with Tommy may have been the only time I was ever truly in love’.
The Last Showgirl actress was married to Kid Rock from 2006 to 2007. Later in 2007, she tied the knot with professional poker player Rick Salomon, but they annulled their marriage in March 2008. They then remarried and divorced again in 2014.
In January 2021, she married her bodyguard Dan Hayhurst but they split in January 2022.
This comes as Pamela received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in The Last Showgirl, but went home empty handed.

This was the former Playboy model’s first ever Golden Globe nomination, having appeared in several iconic 90s and 00s TV shows and films such as Baywatch, Barb Wire, Scary Movie 3 and Stacked – cementing herself as a US cultural icon.
Talking about The Last Showgirl, Pamela described how before this opportunity came along she was trying to remember who ‘[she] was’.
‘I want to be defined by what I do not what has been done to me. I needed to remember who I was. As soon as I did that things just started percolating,’ she said.
