Former Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson shocked audience and fans worldwide when she revealed that she had suffered sexual abuse at the hands of her female babysitter when she was as young as six. Pamela made this revelation at the launch of her animal rights charity -- The Pamela Anderson Foundation -- at the Cannes Film Festival in France. In her opening address, Pamela spoke about her “most painful memories,” including confessions of rape and sexual abuse she experienced while growing up in Ladysmith. “At the risk of over-exposing myself, again, or being inappropriate, again, I thought I might share with you why I am doing this. I did not have an easy childhood, I was molested from age six by a female babysitter.” Pamela also went on to reveal how she was raped by her then boyfriend’s brother when she was 12. “I went to my boyfriend’s house, and his older brother decided to teach me backgammon, which led to a back massage and which led into rape — my first heterosexual experience. He was 25 years old and I was 12.” Pamela also further alleged that her first boyfriend gang raped her with six of his friends at the age of 14. Pamela said that the entire experience left her suicidal and it was her love of animals and nature that helped her overcome the terrifying experiences. “My affinity with animals saved me. It came to me naturally. The trees spoke to me. My loyalty was with the animal kingdom and I vowed to protect them and only them,” said Pamela. Needless to say, the entire world has been left shocked by these confessions. Though Pamela has not yet filed any formal complaint, it remains to be seen if she will approach the police.
