Pamela Anderson says she did not know Tommy Lee’s surname when they got married.
The former Baywatch bombshell decided to tie the knot with the Motley Crue drummer without knowing his last name or where he lived and only asked when they were on the plane from Mexico after their week-long whirlwind romance back in February 1995.
In her memoir Love, Pamela – which was released on Tuesday – the 55-year-old star wrote: ‘On the flight home, I asked him what our last name was, and he said, Lee.’
Pamela then proceeded to ask ‘where he lived’ to which the 60-year-old musician – with whom she went on to have two sons Dylan, now 25, and 26-year-old Brandon -replied: ‘Malibu Road.’
The ex Playboy Playmate – who detailed being ‘in heaven’ with Tommy – spilled how her mother Carol Anderson was ‘furious’ that her daughter had married a stranger.

She wrote: ‘She was furious. “Who is Tommy?” She couldn’t believe I had gotten married, cried that she had always dreamed of being at her only daughter’s wedding.’
Pamela called her impulsive choice to wed Tommy ‘definitely out of character’ but that she was ‘genuinely happy’ and ‘lost in a sea of love’ when they got married in a beach front ceremony with the blonde beauty clad only in a white bikini.
The animal and human rights activist attributes the cracks in their union that led their split due to the theft and sharing of their sex tape in 1995 – a saga that was portrayed in the Hulu series Pam + Tommy that starred Lily James and Sebastian Stan in the title roles and did not get any involvement from Pamela.
It didn’t help that Tommy was arrested and jailed for six months for spousal abuse in 1998.
Pamela wrote: ‘Neither of us could forgive the other, deep down. We just weren’t equipped to get through it all. I loved to see him with his boys, but the four of us together forever was only a dream.’
This comes after she named Tommy as the only man she has ever truly been in love with.
In book Love, Pamela the star spoke candidly about her doomed romance with the drummer, whom she was married to from 1995 until 1998.
‘My relationship with Tommy may have been the only time I was ever truly in love,’ she revealed.
‘Tommy ripped Brandon off me and threw me and Dylan into a wall,’ she claimed.
She called 911 and Lee was arrested. He reportedly served six months in jail for ‘felony spousal abuse.’
‘The divorce from Tommy was the hardest, lowest, most difficult point of my life,’ Pamela wrote.
‘I was crushed. I still couldn’t believe that the person I loved the most was capable of what had happened that night. We were both devastated, but I had to protect my babies.’
Lee has been married since 2019 to 36-year-old actress and Vine star Brittany Furlan.
Pamela Anderson has been married many times in her life, which has become headline news.
The pinup was wed once to Tommy Lee, once to Kid Rock, twice to Rick Salomon, very briefly to Batman co-producer Jon Peters and more recently to Dan Hayhurst.
Here is a look at the men she walked down the aisle with.
They wed in 1995 in Mexico after knowing each for a short time, had two kids together, and divorced in 1998 after she claimed spousal abuse.
‘Tommy ripped Brandon off me and threw me and Dylan into a wall,’ she claimed. She called 911 and Lee was arrested. He reportedly served six months in jail for ‘felony spousal abuse.’
‘The divorce from Tommy was the hardest, lowest, most difficult point of my life,’ Pamela wrote in her book.
‘I was crushed. I still couldn’t believe that the person I loved the most was capable of what had happened that night. We were both devastated, but I had to protect my babies.’
Lee has been married since 2019 to 36-year-old actress and Vine star Brittany Furlan.
They were married twice: first from 2007 until 2008, then from 2014 until 2015.
The second marriage was tabloid fodder.
They had been friends for many years after dating in the 1990s.
In January 2020 Pamela reportedly wed Hollywood producer Peters in Malibu but they split after 12 days.
‘Pamela Anderson was never legally married to Jon Peters,’ a statement on the actress’ Twitter page read. It was added that Peters was a ‘life long family friend.’
‘I will always love Pamela, always in my heart. As a matter of fact, I left her $10 million in my will,’ Peters told Variety in late January. ‘And she doesn’t even know that. Nobody knows that.’
The breakup news was shared in January 2022.
Explaining they were ‘stuck together’ throughout COVID and lockdown, she gushed: ‘He’s the kinda guy I would have met if I didn’t go round the world and get crazy.’
She added: ‘It’s nice to be with a real man who can actually change a lightbulb. He’s useful. It’s a new thing.’
