In 1993, Pamela Anderson had a “horrible experience” making a film. Four years later, she described it under oath
Pamela Anderson told a court in May 1997 that filming simulated sex scenes for the 1993 film *Raw Justice* had been a distressing experience. Her testimony came during a lawsuit over her decision not to star in *Hello, She Lied*, and showed why she was wary of agreeing to films with similar scenes.
Anderson said she had been thrown around, scratched, bruised and bitten while making *Raw Justice*, and that she went home in tears and called her mother. She distinguished that experience from *Naked Souls*, whose scenes she felt were connected to the plot and whose production team she trusted. The case against her was dismissed in May 1997.
In short
- Anderson described a distressing experience filming *Raw Justice*.
- She gave the account under oath in May 1997.
- The lawsuit over her withdrawal from another film was dismissed.
Explained simply
Pamela Anderson is a Canadian actor and model who became widely known in the 1990s, including through television and film roles. Raw Justice, released in 1994, was a film in which she appeared; its simulated sex scenes were staged for the camera.
Hello, She Lied was a proposed film Anderson had agreed to star in, but she later decided not to take the role. The people behind the film sued her over that decision, and the court heard evidence about her earlier experiences making films with similar scenes.
The case raised questions about what Anderson had agreed to do and why she changed her mind. Her testimony also distinguished between scenes she considered relevant to a film’s story and those she found distressing to make.
