Sarah Silverman has admitted that she was “surprised” and upset when Pamela Anderson was cold toward her after she made “horrible jokes” about her leaked sex tape during a 2005 Comedy Central roast.
If you need reminding, Pamela and her then-husband Tommy Lee were horrifically exploited when their private sex tape was stolen alongside a safe from inside their home in the late ‘90s.
And while she presumably anticipated that the sex tape would be brought up, Pamela agreed to Comedy Central’s Roast of Pamela Anderson in 2005 in order to raise money for the animal rights charity PETA.
“I don’t really know Pam personally, but I’ll never forget the first time I saw her asshole. I knew she had that special something,” she begins. “She’s gorgeous, of course, but even she’ll admit that it takes work. I mean, she literally spends hours primping and waxing and bleaching but enough about her asshole… Let’s talk about, say, her vagina.”
“It’s the only way you can tell a woman’s true hair color,” Sarah goes on. “And lucky for you, I actually caught a glimpse of it backstage while she was changing, and her true hair color? Bald.”
Another of her gags referenced Paris Hilton’s 2004 sex tape, with Sarah saying: “A lot of people say: ‘Oh, Pam Anderson wouldn’t be anyone without her tits,’ that’s not true, it’s not true. She’d be Paris Hilton.”
While she laughed along, Pamela could be seen looking somewhat uncomfortable during Sarah’s set, and it seems as though she took the jokes to heart as she still remembered them last year — almost 20 years later.
It all came out during Sarah’s recent appearance on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, with Sarah telling Andy: “I will tell you something about Pam Anderson, who I think does not care for me, [which] I was surprised by.”
She then explained that she attended “a big fancy Hollywood gala” with her friend Sacha Baron Cohen last year, and Sacha re-introduced her to Pamela. However, Pamela wasn’t impressed. Sarah recalled: “She looks at me and she goes: ‘Oh yeah. You told horrible jokes about me on my roast,’ and then she turned around and left, and I was like, my heart [is broken].”
