During her speech at the launch of her animal rights charity, Pamela Anderson shared painful memories of being sexually abused from young age.

Addressing the audience, the actress said: “At the risk of over-exposing myself, again, or being inappropriate, again, I thought I might share with you why I am doing this. I did not have an easy childhood. Despite loving parents, I was molested from age six by a female babysitter.”

Pamela went on to say she had been raped by brother of a “friend’s boyfriend.”

“I went to her boyfriend’s house and his older brother decided to teach me backgammon, which led into a back massage, which led into rape – my first heterosexual experience. He was 25-years-old, and I was 12,” she revealed.

Anderson also said that a former boyfriend had arranged for her to be gang raped. “He decided it would be funny to gang-rape me with six friends. I wanted off this Earth,” she said. “This meant I had a hard time trusting humans.”

The actress said her love for animals saved her.

“My affinity with animals saved me, they came to me naturally. My loyalty remained with the animal kingdom,” she explained. “I vowed to protect them and only them. I prayed to the whales with my feet in the ocean. My only real friends, till I had children.”
