Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee’s relationship is back in the spotlight again. The “Baywatch” star recently discussed in her memoir, “Love, Pamela,” a series of incidents involving Lee that resulted in her nearly overdosing, per Hollywood Life.
Anderson shared that while she was filming “Barb Wire” in 1996, Lee frequently visited her and embarked on a series of antics to get Anderson to stay with him for a longer period between scenes. Lee’s behavior got so bad that the famed drummer was banned from the set, though that didn’t stop him from visiting Anderson. At the time, the former Playboy model saw it as playful behavior, but it did take a toll on her as she started taking “speedy diet pills, ephedrine.”

The Canadian native said that one day she didn’t show up on set, and her friend found her unconscious in her bathroom. Anderson shared, “I had gotten into the bathtub the night before and tried to swallow Advil with vodka, sinking slowly under the water. But luckily, I couldn’t stand the taste of hard alcohol and the nausea forced me out of the tub.” Anderson revealed she was at her wit’s end after Lee threw her into his car before ramming the vehicle into a makeup trailer. She said, “I didn’t know what to do. It was a depth of despair I’d never felt and I’d been through a lot. I loved Tommy and I hated more than anything to upset him.”
