Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee’s son, Brandon Thomas Lee, has revealed that he thinks that his mum was being taken advantage of by Baywatch bosses.
In 1989 Baywatch burst onto our screens, with Pamela Anderson taking on the role of Casey Jean Parker and setting pulses racing.
Because of Pamela’s sizzling portrayal in the drama series, and because of how she “carried the show”, some countries and broadcasters were only interested in buying episodes in which she appeared.

Despite some broadcasting companies only buying episodes that featured Pamela’s character Casey, and despite the Baywatch bosses making money because of Pamela – she didn’t benefit from it.

But because she didn’t have the “know-how” when she started out, Pamela explained in a new interview how it was like she “signed her life away”.
Speaking to Variety Magazine for their latest Pamela Anderson interview and feature, her older son, Brandon Thomas Lee, slammed Baywatch for “taking advantage” of his mum.
The 26-year-old told the magazine: “She was definitely being taken advantage of.

“And it still feels weird how there hasn’t been some sort of discussion with Amazon or the ‘Baywatch’ producers to get her her fair share.”
Pamela made just $1,500 per episode in the first series, while reports say this figure went up to around $300,000 towards the end of her portrayal of Casey.

After negotiating, Pamela, now 55, appeared in a slow motion cameo clip and has “no complaints”.
Elsewhere in the interview she branded Hulu bosses “assholes” after the Pam and Tommy series debuted on the streaming platform last year.
