Pamela forgets pants for visit to Assange

- By CHRIS PEREZ cperez@nypost.com

It was love at first “site.” “Baywatch” star Pamela Anderson has gone from slow-motion runs on the beach to mysterious late-night visits to the embassy where WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is holed up.

Anderson, 49, was most recently spotted entering the Ecuadorian safe space in London on Thursday night wearing a camel overcoat, snug black top — and either a really short skirt, or no bottom at all.

She has been a regular at the facility, coyly smiling for photograph­ers as she struts in to see Assange, 45, whose rogue group has revealed some of the US government’s most closely guarded secrets.

Anderson refused to deny rumors that the two are dating, saying he intellectu­ally stimulates her more than all her “ex-husbands and lovers combined.”

“I think he’s quite sexy,” she wrote in a blog post on Thursday. “He has tremendous strength and stamina — though vulnerable. Hard to imagine him that way — as capable as he is. But, he is up against the biggest super powers in the world.”

In early January, she wrote a letter to President Barack Obama urging him to consider “pardoning” Assange after WikiLeaks released hacked Democratic e-mails in the months before the 2016 presidenti­al election.

Speaking to host John Bishop on the British TV talk show “The Nightly Show” this week, Anderson described meeting Assange last year through British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood.

“We started seeing each other every month, and now we see each other a lot more regularly,” Anderson said, according to The Sun.

“I do really think he’s one of the most important people in the world, and I think what he does is historic. It’s very important,” Anderson added. “He’s very brave, and he sacrificed a lot for all of us.”

Assange, who has been living in the embassy for four years after he was granted political asylum by Ecuador, came under fire this week after a 8,000-plus-file cache of CIA secrets was posted on WikiLeaks.

Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday vowed to go after the Web site, saying the leak was “one of the most significan­t compromise­s of national security in recent memory.”

In her blog post this week, Anderson defended Assange, saying he had “ruffled a few very powerful feathers — who will stop at nothing to discredit him, or worse.”

“He is on the side of every civilian. And, he is exposing corruption in government­s we elect,” she said. “People need to understand that.”
