I know the real reason Pamela Anderson still titillates men and women alike... and it has nothing to do with her 'no makeup' bravery, writes JESSICA SATHERLEY

Hasn’t Pammy suffered enough?

Former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson has candidly shared details of the abuse she endured during her youth, including being molested by her childhood babysitter, raped by a 25-year-old man at the tender age of 12, and sexually assaulted by her high school boyfriend and his friends before she reached 18.

Following the theft of her notorious sex tape with ex-husband Tommy Lee in the ’90s, Anderson made strenuous efforts to retrieve the tape to no avail. She has expressed that the incident had a devastating impact on her life and relationships.

Pamela Anderson, now 57, has emerged as a resilient figure, undeterred by the adversities she has faced. Despite her tumultuous past, she continues to flourish with a radiant smile. She serves as a source of empowerment for women and girls worldwide who have encountered similar challenges. Criticism of her recent ‘no-makeup’ appearance by Paula Froelich in a Mail article has sparked backlash, given Anderson’s inspirational journey.

‘Sorry, Pam. You’re not saving the Amazon,’ wrote Froelich. ‘Let’s apply a bit of cleanser, shall we? This “natural beauty revolution” is about as organic as 34DDs.’

The fact that Pam often sports a fresh face alongside her ‘bouncing bosom’ these days, is nothing to criticize. Why shouldn’t she capitalize on her glamour and showcase her beauty, with or without makeup?

Pamela Anderson is an inspiration to women and girls everywhere, which is why I took issue with Paula Froelich's piece recent piece for the Mail which blasted Pamela's new no-makeup look.

The Baywatch icon (pictured in 2000) has been open about being molested by her childhood babysitter, raped by a 25-year-old man at the age of 12, and sexually assaulted by her high school boyfriends and his pals before she turned 18.

‘I have an idea of what’s really going on here,’ Froleich wrote. ‘Anderson, like almost every other fading Hollywood hottie, from perpetually puffy-faced Nicole Kidman to belly-button scandal-scarred Cindy Crawford, has a skincare line to flog.’

Indeed, Anderson is the co-founder and owner of Sonsie Skin – a vegan and cruelty-free skincare brand. And good for her! I say: if you’ve got it, flaunt it.

As Pammy approaches 60, she still looks fabulous whether she’s fully made up (as in her latest movie role in ‘The Last Showgirl’) or au naturel. And why not use that bare-faced bravery to promote her light-touch beauty brand?

Wouldn’t you welcome a world in which women had the choice to wear less makeup? Isn’t the unspoken pressure to at least brush on some mascara before you leave the house really a bit of a burden?

In breaking that old-fashioned expectation, Pammy is doing wonders for ordinary women who’d love to step out without their face piled on.

In regard to Froelich’s reference to the star as a ‘Double D-lister’, Anderson is actually quite the opposite. Baywatch catapulted the blonde bombshell to global stardom and she remains one of the most recognized A-listers of her generation.

Yes, she’s had some film flops, but so what? So have Kevin Costner and Robert De Niro! 

Anderson remains an undeniable star who is still being cast by Hollywood, has a hit Netflix doc and a biographical TV drama miniseries about her marriage with Tommy.

In terms of slamming her for any cosmetic tweakments: Women don’t need fame or all the money in the world for a bit of pump and plump these days. Injectables have been the norm for years. 

A session of Botox will set you back a few hundred bucks.

Even without makeup, Pamela still manages to captivate, just like she wowed us in the 90s.

The reason women, and men, love her is because she’s unapologetically true to herself.

It’s time to stop picking on women who embrace their beauty, even if they have indulged in a few enhancements along the way. Let’s lift them up instead of pushing them down.

Now that would be true feminism.
