Pammy blasts ‘smutty’ ScoMo

PAMELA Anderson has accused Scott Morrison of making “smutty” and “unnecessary” comments about her after she appealed to the Prime Minister to defend Julian Assange.

The former Baywatch star earlier this month called for Mr Morrison to support the WikiLeaks founder, who has been holed up in the Ecuadorean embassy in London for six years.

“Defend your friend and get Julian his passport back and take him back to Australia and be proud of him and throw him a parade when he gets home,” Anderson said on the Nine Network’s 60 Minutes.

The Prime Minister later chuckled loudly in an interview after being asked if he intended to heed the star’s advice.

“I’ve had plenty of mates who have asked me if they can be my special envoy to sort the issue out with Pamela Anderson,” he told Gold Coast radio station Hot Tomato FM.

“But putting that to one side, the serious issue is no, our position on that hasn’t changed.”

In an open letter published on her website, Ms Anderson has said the comments were “disappointing”.

“You trivialised and laughed about the suffering of an Australian and his family. You followed it with smutty, unnecessary comments about a woman voicing her political opinion,” she wrote.

“Rather than making lewd suggestions about me, perhaps you should instead think about what you are going to say to millions of Australians when one of their own is marched in an orange jumpsuit to Guantánamo Bay — for publishing the truth. You can prevent this.”

Mr Assange took refuge in Ecuador’s embassy in 2012 and fears leaving in case he’s extradited to the United States over WikiLeaks’ publication of US diplomatic and military secrets.
