Pamela Anderson blasts the #MeToo movement, says feminism can ‘go too far’
Pamela Anderson sat down for a lengthy interview with Australia’s “60 Minutes” Sunday, offering some controversial comments about the #MeToo movement and the negative impact she perceives it having on men.
The former “Baywatch” star derided the current wave of feminism and called it a “bore.”
“I think this feminism can go too far,” Anderson told journalist Liam Bartlett. “I’m a feminist, but I think that this third wave of feminism is a bore.”
She continued: “I think it paralyzes men, I think this #MeToo movement is a bit too much for me. I’m sorry, I’ll probably get killed for saying that.”
Stars who have criticized the #MeToo movement in the past haven’t fared well. “The Big Bang Theory” star Mayim Bialik apologized after being accused of victim-blaming when she spoke about the movement, and French actress Catherine Deneuve caught serious backlash for similar comments made about its effect on men.
Anderson, however, was undeterred by the possibility of being labeled anti-#MeToo and doubled down on her controversial comments, going as far as to suggest that those who encountered the likes of Harvey Weinstein boiled down to a lack of common sense.
“My mother taught me don’t go to a hotel with a stranger. If someone opens the door in a bathrobe and it’s supposed to be a business meeting, maybe I should go with somebody else,” the 51-year-old says in the clip below. “I think some things are just common sense. Or, if you go in… get the job. I’m Canadian, I’m going to speak my mind. I’m sorry, I’m not politically correct.”
The animal rights advocate also discussed her image as a sex symbol and noted that it opened doors to her activism.
“I’d rather be a sex symbol than a… not a sex symbol. That’s a compliment, isn’t it?” she said. “Every girl wants to be sexy. Every girl wants to be, you know, as beautiful or pretty as they can be. I never thought of myself as beautiful. I always thought of myself as kinda cute, a little funny and maybe I’ve improved with age.”

‘Breast is Best’ Declares Pamela Anderson to Trump
Moving in to settle a fight over breastfeeding, Anderson cited her own experiences and said simply, “Breast is best.”
In a letter to the World Health Organization on behalf of PETA, she endorsed the group’s support for breastfeeding after the New York Times suggested in a story that the Trump administration was favoring formula.
Blond bombshell and PETA spokeswoman Pamela Anderson knows how to grab the attention of President Trump — and the world.
Moving in to settle a fight over breastfeeding, Anderson cited her own experiences and said simply, “Breast is best.”
In a letter to the World Health Organization on behalf of PETA, she endorsed the group’s support for breastfeeding after the New York Times suggested in a story that the Trump administration was favoring formula.
“Thank you for standing firm in support of breastfeeding. Breast is best — that’s why I nursed my own sons and I encourage other moms to continue this natural practice, which has been essential to human health since the dawn of time,” said Anderson.
The administration said it wants to keep formula in the mix for new mothers, and Trump ripped a report from the Times that he wants to “water down an international resolution supporting breastfeeding.”
Trump tweeted this week, “The failing NY Times Fake News story today about breast feeding must be called out. The U.S. strongly supports breast feeding but we don’t believe women should be denied access to formula. Many women need this option because of malnutrition and poverty.”
