The Vancouver Island-born star of “Baywatch” let it be known she is not on board with the MeToo movement sweeping through Hollywood.
Pamela Anderson, born in Ladysmith and went to high school in Comox, told Australia’s “60 Minutes” the social media campaign against sexual harassment and assault is “a bit too much” for her.
“Feminism can go too far. I’m a feminist, but I think that this third wave of feminism is a bore. I think it paralyzes men,” Anderson said in the interview.

Anderson added, “I’m sorry. I’ll probably get killed for that.”
Anderson has been known to be outspoken and has fought for human, animal and environmental rights.
The 51-year-old also appeared to make light of the Harvey Weinstein scandal, where dozens of women have come forward accusing the now disgraced media mogul of sexual misconduct and assault.
In the interview with Australia’s “60 Minutes”, Anderson said, “My mother taught me don’t go to a hotel with a stranger. If someone answers the door in a bathrobe, and it’s supposed to be a business meeting, maybe I should go with somebody else.”
Anderson warned women to use “common sense”.
“Or, if you go in, get the job,” Anderson added, saying she is Canadian and will speak her mind.
“I’m sorry, I’m not politically correct.”
