Pamela Anderson is choosing not to pay attention to Lorde's continuous mention of her sex tape, but would reportedly love for the whole thing to stop.
The Grammy-winning singer admitted that she watched Anderson's sex tape with her ex-husband Tommy Lee, and went on to reference the steamy encounter in her new song. However, Anderson seemingly handed the singer the "ultimate insult" as she is unaware of who Lorde is in the first place.
Pamela Anderson recently opened up about the "wild ride" she experienced after posing for Playboy Magazine for the first time during what she calls "the blurry years."
Singer Lorde seems to be fascinated with Pamela Anderson's sex life, so much so that she dug up the "Baywatch" alum's leaked sex tape with ex-husband Tommy Lee.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the "Royals" hitmaker, whose real name is Ella Yelich-O'Connor, disclosed that she watched Anderson and Lee's leaked 1995 sex tape after a psychedelic therapy session, describing it as "beautiful" and filled with "purity."
"I found it to be so beautiful," Lorde admitted. "And maybe it's f-cked up that I watched it, but I saw two people that were so in love with each other, and there was this purity."
"They were jumping off this big boat.… They were like children. They were so free. And I just was like, 'Whoa. Being this free comes with danger,'" she added.
As if that wasn't enough, Lorde referenced the sex tape on her new song "Current Affairs" from her newly released album "Virgin," when she sings: "All alone in my room / Watching the tape of their honeymoon / On the boat, it was pure and true / Then the film came out."
The singer has faced fiery backlash online, with some netizens calling her comments insensitive and tone-deaf.
Meanwhile, Anderson has chosen to be the bigger person and ignore Lorde's remarks, but she wouldn't want it to continue.
The 58-year-old pop star has been open about how she suffered deep humiliation and pain from the unauthorized release of the tape and would prefer that it never be mentioned again.
An insider who spoke to the Daily Mail said that Anderson "hates when the sex tape creeps back into pop culture, whether it was the 'Pam and Tommy' show, or whenever people start talking about it or when she has had to talk about it."
However, with Lorde's "creepy" fascination and continuous mention of the clip, one would expect the actress to be seething with rage, but that's not the case, as Anderson "doesn't know" Lorde.
Revealing how Anderson really feels about the references, the source explained that the video "changed her life forever and a lot of bad came from it that she doesn't like remembering or thinking about."
"She's not mad at Lorde, because she doesn't know who she is, but she would rather not have this out there," the source shared. "It is just a headache to deal with when she just wants to live her life."
The insider continued, "It is painful that she always has to relive that moment in her life."
Anderson and Lee got married in 1995 before separating in 1998 and welcomed two sons, Brandon Thomas Lee and Dylan Jagger Lee.
The pair recorded a sex tape and kept it safe, but it was later stolen by Rand Gauthier, an electrician who worked on their house.
According to the Daily Mail, Lee refused to pay Gauthier for a job he did, leading him to steal a massive safe from their garage, which included the sex tape. It was later obtained by Seth Warshavsky, who tried to broker a distribution agreement with Anderson and Lee.
Sales of the video are said to have generated hundreds of millions of dollars, but Anderson and Lee reportedly didn't receive any of the proceeds. In a judgment against Warshavsky, a judge ruled that each of them was to be awarded $740,000, but he reportedly never paid either star.
Anderson has managed to overhaul her career and remains very much active in Hollywood, starring in a number of new films.
She received rave reviews after taking on a more serious role in "The Last Showgirl" and would soon appear in the upcoming thriller "Naked Gun," where she stars alongside Liam Neeson.
"She has been on a recent high in her career and has steered clear from her past and is looking to age gracefully, do more important work, more fun work, and show off her talent," the source told the news outlet.
Part of Anderson's rebranding has been her decision to go makeup-free. The actress is now known for her toned-down glamour while walking red carpets.
According to the insider, Anderson wants people to focus on her current accomplishments and forget about "Baywatch and her sex tape past."
In an interview with Harper's Bazaar U.K., she opened up about the "wild ride" she experienced after shooting to fame posing for Playboy Magazine during what she called "the blurry years."
"I went straight to the Playboy Mansion, I met all these people, and then, you know, life just kept going," Anderson said. "I call them the blurry years. I just went on this crazy, wild ride that I had no control over."
