PAM’S WILD MESCAL ROMP WITH ASSANGE
LOS ANGELES: Pamela Anderson revealed she once walked in on a Jack Nicholson threesome and had her Tommy Lee sex tape broadcast worldwide, but it’s her night with Julian Assange at the Ecuadorean embassy in London that ranks among her most memorable.
In what may be one of the only bombshells the Australian Wikileaks founder has kept secret, the Baywatch star spoke for the first time about her boozy night with Assange while he was on the run from espionage charges in the US.
When asked whether her long-running relationship with Assange was strictly platonic or sexual, the former Playboy model played coy as she described one mescalfuelled night at the embassy as “frisky”.
“It was romantic because it was so inspirational,” she told Variety to promote her upcoming memoir, Love, Pamela.
“He’s so passionate about life and about everything. There’s just nothing that he says that isn’t fascinating. So there was definitely a connection. We would just talk through the night and drink mescal and laugh and tell stories.”
The actor-turned-activist has long fuelled speculation over her friendship with Assange since declaring her love for the Aussie after visiting him at His Majesty’s Prison Belmarsh in May 2019.
“He is a good man, he is an incredible person,” she told media outside the UK’S toughest prison. “I love him, I can’t imagine what he has been going through.”
Assange spent seven years at the Ecuadorean embassy in London before he was forced out, arrested, and locked up behind bars at Belmarsh, where he remains fighting extradition charges.
Anderson called his charges on 18 counts related to Wikileaks’ release of military secrets an “interesting hypocrisy”.
“It’s just heartbreaking because he’s in a Supermax prison in solitary confinement while he’s awaiting a trial, and all of these other people are breaking the law all over the place and no one’s in jail,” she said.
