Pamela Anderson says ‘Borat’ cameo caused Kid Rock divorce

Pamela Anderson has shared what led to the end of her relationship with Kid Rock: her secretive appearance in ‘Borat’.

In her recent tell-all memoir, ‘Love, Pamela’, Pamela Anderson revealed what really happened when she and husband Kid Rock, real name Bob Ritchie, split in 2010.

The couple, about to move into a new home in Malibu at the time, attended the premiere of ‘Borat’. The private screening was held at Ron and Kelly Meyer’s house with a star-studded guest list, including Steven Spielberg and Rick Rubin.

Anderson admitted that she didn’t tell anyone she would be in the movie, saying that she wanted it to be a surprise — but she left an important part out.

I didn’t tell Bob [Kid Rock] I was in the movie, because I wanted to surprise him,” Anderson wrote. “I forgot about the part in the film that referenced the ‘sex tape.’”

Why was Kid Rock so upset?

Apparently the surprise was too much for Kid Rock, as he got upset and left the premiere, having called her some terrible names.

“Bob stormed out, calling me a whore and worse,” the ‘Baywatch’ star wrote. “He was embarrassed, and his reaction was not thought through.”

Anderson went on to describe how she followed Ritchie out to the parking lot but she was too late.

“After I chased Bob to his car, he peeled out, leaving me there alone.”

On ‘Love, Pamela’

With the release of her memoir, ‘Love, Pamela’ alongside her new Netflix documentary, ‘Pamela, A Love Story’, the star has had a lot of time for reflection — albeit, publicly.

The director of Anderson’s documentary, Ryan White, recently talked about his experience with Pamela.

“Of course, I totally believe Pamela because I think she’s always honest in everything,” White said. “About her own shortcomings, but also about other people’s.”

According to the director, Anderson said: “I spent so much of my life protecting other people. And I’m not trying not to do that as much anymore.”

White even had the honor of reading drafts of her book, and was deeply impressed by the “cinematic quality of her poetry and minimalist prose.”
