Pamela Anderson has spoken candidly about the ‘crazy’ toll her new memoir took on her physical appearance.

The 55-year-old Baywatch star’s tell-all memoir, Love Pamela, hits shelves later this month and in the run-up to its release, Pamela has been sharing snippets of what readers can expect.

On Wednesday, the former Playboy model revealed she gained almost two stone writing the book, which explores everything from her relationship with Tommy Lee to raising their sons, Brandon, 26, and Dylan, 26.

‘I went through kind of a crazy time writing the book. I put on like 25 pounds [1.7 stone],’ she shared.

‘I look back at it and I see how it was the “book process” […] it was crazy! I had a physical reaction to telling my story. It was almost like I was hanging on to something — it was protective. My puffy suit of armour,’ she said on The Howard Stern Show this week.  

Pamela continued: ‘I don’t know what it was — I was thinking it was some kind of protection. It wasn’t like I was eating any different, I’m vegan, I eat nuts and berries, you know, I don’t eat a lot.  But my body was changing!’

Activist Pamela – who was dating her ex-Dan Hayhurst when she was writing her memoir – also said she was a ‘mess’ when penning Love, Pamela, but that she enjoyed ‘peeling back everything’.

‘I was a mess at that time, so I kind of liked that I peeled back everything: No make-up, nothing like that, and I thought, “You know what? If you like me like this — if you like me at my worst, maybe you like me”. ‘

Pamela’s memoir is released on January 31, which coincides with the premiere date of her upcoming Netflix documentary, Pamela, A Love Story.

The one-off special is set to delve behind some of the most covered moments of her time in the spotlight – offering the star the chance to put her side of the story across.
