A trauma passed through in silence
This first trauma gives way to another, which will strike Pamela Anderson as a teenager. In her diary, she recounts having followed “a girlfriend who had a crush on a much older boy“. In a friend’s apartment, the latter goes away with him while Pamela stays to play backgammon with another boy, also older. “We played for a while and then he said a massage would do me good. He was twenty-five, I was twelve. He raped me” she writes. Overwhelmed by guilt, the teenager said nothing. “I thought it was my fault. My mother cried all the time because of my father, I didn’t want to hurt her even more.“This violent experience makes Pamela Anderson a young girl”very shy and full of complexes“. So many physical and psychological blockages from which she will free herself thanks to her career as a model at Playboy.
