So Pamela Anderson thinks that the women who were abused by Harvey Weinstein “Knew what they were getting into”. Ms. Anderson survived sexual abuse as a child and yet has zero empathy for the women that Weinstein molested and/or raped because “They should have known better”. Well, Ms. Anderson, let me explain how you are an amazing hypocrite.

Ms. Anderson came to fame as an actress (and I am really stretching the definition of this particular word in order to include Ms. Anderson’s work) in soap opera’s and sitcoms in the early 1990’s. You may remember her in her break out role as C.J. Parker in the original Baywatch television series. Other credits include Striperella and something called “Superhero Movie” which she references in the interview with Megyn Kelly’s morning show on NBC. In short, she is not only short on stature, she is short on talent.

Ms. Anderson is also quite well known in porn circles from her infamous “Honeymoon tape” with former husband and Motley Crue member, Tommy Lee, and for her multiple appearances on the cover, and in the pages, of Playboy magazine. In the interview with Megyn Kelly, she seems to imply that the victims were to blame for their experiences with the disgraced movie mogul, even though she recalled her feelings about her own Weinstein encounter by saying, “He’s intimidating”.

I would ask Pamela to read actress Asia Argento’s recollection of her rape by Weinstein at a French hotel. From the New Yorker article that started it all:

“The actress said she was asked to attend a party thrown by Miramax at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc on the French Riviera in 1997, but when she got there, she found herself alone with Weinstein.

She—like many other women—claimed Weinstein then forced her into giving him a massage, threatening her career if she didn’t oblige. When she finally agreed, he allegedly pulled her skirt up and forced her legs apart to begin performing oral sex on her. Though she said she repeatedly told him no, she eventually gave in with hopes that it would come to an end—something she said has prompted years of guilt.”

Perhaps Ms. Anderson should read the comments that Annabella Sciorra, who starred in the HBO drama, The Soprano’s, made about her rape by Weinstein:

“At one dinner, in New York, she recalled, “Harvey was there, and I got up to leave. And Harvey said, ‘Oh, I’ll drop you off.’ Harvey had dropped me off before, so I didn’t really expect anything out of the ordinary—I expected just to be dropped off.” In the car, Weinstein said goodbye to Sciorra, and she went upstairs to her apartment. She was alone and getting ready for bed a few minutes later when she heard a knock on the door. “It wasn’t that late,” she said. “Like, it wasn’t the middle of the night, so I opened the door a crack to see who it was. And he pushed the door open.” She paused to collect herself. Weinstein, she continued, “walked in like it was his apartment, like he owned the place, and started unbuttoning his shirt. So it was very clear where he thought this was going to go. And I was in a nightgown. I didn’t have much on.” He circled the apartment; to Sciorra, it appeared that he was checking whether anyone else was there.  He shoved me onto the bed, and he got on top of me.” Sciorra struggled. “I kicked and I yelled,” she said, but Weinstein locked her arms over her head with one hand and forced sexual intercourse on her. “When he was done, he ejaculated on my leg, and on my nightgown.” It was a family heirloom, handed down from relatives in Italy and embroidered in white cotton. “He said, ‘I have impeccable timing,’ and then he said, ‘This is for you.’ ” Sciorra paused. “And then he attempted to perform oral sex on me. And I struggled, but I had very little strength left in me.” Sciorra said that her body started to shake violently. “I think, in a way, that’s what made him leave, because it looked like I was having a seizure or something.”

But hey, Pam, Annabella is to blame, right? And that Asia Argento, she was just stupid to go to a man’s hotel room alone, right? So, really, she deserved what happened to her. Ms. Anderson, allow me to explain something to you: You, madame, are part of the problem. People like you, who attack survivors of sexual abuse, who shame them publicly and essentially blame them for their own experiences are part of the problem. You are part of the reason that two out of three sexual assaults go unreported. In fact, 20 percent of survivors of sexual assault choose not to report out of fear of retaliation from the perpetrator, just as many of Weinstein’s victims reported in recent months when asked about their own motivations. So thanks so much for being such a wonderful example of an “anti-feminist”. Unfortunately, you have also proven yourself to be just plain anti-common sense.
