Pamela Anderson's Ultimate Comeback: Lorde’s 'Creepy' Reference Sparks Outrage

SCANDAL ALERT: Lorde's Unsettling Obsession with Pamela Anderson's Infamous Sex Tape Exposed!

Pamela Anderson, 57, is still reeling from the devastating effects of a sex tape that was stolen and distributed without her consent in the 1990s. And now, she's facing an unwelcome revival of her infamous past courtesy of none other than pop star Lorde, 28.

In a recent Rolling Stone interview, Lorde revealed that she had watched the sex tape after undergoing a psychedelic therapy session, calling it "beautiful" and praising the purity and freedom of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee's relationship. But what really got our attention was when we discovered that Lorde had seemingly referenced the video again in her new song "Current Affairs" from her album Virgin.

While some fans may have been oblivious to the controversy surrounding the tape, others were quick to call out Lorde for perpetuating a painful and traumatic experience for Anderson. And now, an insider has exclusively revealed to The Scholarly Note just how deeply this scandal has affected Anderson's life.

"It changed her life forever," the source explained. "A lot of bad came from it that she doesn't like remembering or thinking about." It's clear that Anderson is still trying to put the past behind her, having evolved significantly since her Baywatch days and embracing a more serious acting career, as seen in her critically acclaimed performance in The Last Showgirl.

But unfortunately for Anderson, this scandal is far from over. "She hates when the sex tape creeps back into pop culture," our source revealed. "Whether it's the Pam & Tommy show or whenever people start talking about it or when she has had to talk about it...it's just a headache to deal with."

And what makes matters even more frustrating for Anderson is that Lorde, 28, seems oblivious to the harm caused by her actions. "She doesn't know who Lorde is," our source explained. "But she would rather not have this out there." It's clear that Anderson is trying to move on from this dark chapter in her life and focus on her current accomplishments.

As if all this wasn't enough, Anderson will soon be facing more questions about the scandal while promoting her upcoming movie Naked Gun alongside Liam Neeson. "She doesn't want to have to relive that moment in her life," our source revealed. "It's painful for her."

In an era where celebrities are constantly under scrutiny, it's refreshing to see someone like Anderson trying to put her past behind her and focus on her current work. And as for Lorde? Well, maybe she should take a page out of Anderson's book and learn from this scandal: sometimes it's better to leave certain things in the past.

The sex tape at the center of all this drama was taken by Rand Gauthier, an electrician who worked on the couple's house. After Lee refused to pay him for his work, he stole a massive safe from their garage, which included the sex tape. The video was later obtained by Seth Warshavsky, who initially streamed it online before trying to set up a distribution agreement with Pamela and Tommy.

But what's truly disturbing is that despite Anderson and Lee eventually being awarded $740,000 each in a judgment against Warshavsky, he never paid them either. And as for the money made from the tape? None of it went back to the couple who was victimized by this scandal.

It's time for Lorde to take responsibility for her actions and show some empathy towards Anderson, who has been through hell and back because of this scandal. And to all our readers out there, let this be a reminder: sometimes it's better to leave certain things in the past and focus on what's truly important – your current accomplishments and the work you're doing today.

As for Pamela Anderson? She'll continue to do her best to put this painful chapter behind her and move forward with her life. And we wish her all the best in that endeavor.
