WHAT REALLY HAPPENED WITH HER & SLY
A lot of A-listers have tried to seduce Pam — including Sylvester Stallone. In a 2018 interview, she revealed that the Rocky and Rambo star, 75, once even “offered me a condo and a Porsche to be his ‘No. 1 girl.’ I said, ‘Does that mean there is a No. 2?’ He said, ‘Of course.’” She passed on the open relationship and didn’t take his proposed gifts. “Maybe I should have,” she added.
second husband Kid Rock, 51, lasted four months. Her third and fourth marriages, to the same man — Paris Hilton sex tape partner Rick Salomon, 54 — were less than a year combined. (See sidebar.) Others who never managed to actually get her down the aisle include Happy Days star Scott Baio, 61, Poison rocker Bret Michaels, 58, pro surfer Kelly Slater, 50, and actor Stephen Dorff, 48. “Pam gets caught up in the fairy tale,” says the source of her penchant for picking the wrong men — and then moving way too fast. “But she refuses to give up on love.”
SHE’S SEEN SO MUCH
Love wasn’t exactly on display when Pam was a staple at Playboy. The centerfold’s shared stories of what she witnessed while working for the iconic brand — she’s graced the magazine cover 14 times, more than any other model — including how she once followed a group of naked women from the grotto upstairs, where she stood at the foot of a bed watching “seven girls, one at a time with” late founder Hugh Hefner. Pam’s confessed to seeing even more “craziness” at the mansion, including “big TV screens with crazy things going on with ‘Hef’ and the girls and baby oil.” But she’s insisted that Hef — who in the 2022 A&E docuseries Secrets of Playboy was accused of drugging women, covering up sex crimes that VIPS committed against Bunnies and more — was a “complete gentleman” who “empowered women.”
Pam could use all the empowering she can get now. “She’s endured a lot of trauma,” says the source, pointing to adult relationship turmoil as well as the Baywatch actress’ heartbreaking revelations that she was molested as a child and raped as a teen. “She wants to be safe and happy. Pam’s trying therapy. And she’s eager to regain ownership of her story.”
