Pamela Anderson’s Son Wishes Their Mother Made money off of her S*x Tape
Having a famous parent can come with a lot of pressure sometimes. And that is exactly what Pamela Anderson‘s children had to go through while growing up. In the upcoming Netflix documentary set to release on January 31st, her two sons reportedly discuss their school experience as a child of a famous parent. According to them, it was difficult to deal with people already knowing about his family. Anderson’s oldest son Brandon Lee revealed that he used to flu with anger easily when peers mentioned anything related to his mother.
Furthermore, the two also reportedly revealed that they wished their mother had chosen to make money off her 1995 s*x tape with ex-husband Tommy Lee. He added that others took the opportunity to make millions from such videos but his mother chose to put her family’s reputation first. Also, her younger Dylan Lee said,
“But people made millions of dollars and she was like ‘no’ because she 100 percent cared about her family being OK and me being OK.”
Moreover, since the actress had been in debt for most of her life, their situation would have been different if she monetized the tape instead of putting it away.

Soon afterward, Anderson filed a divorce and the pair separated in 1998.
