Pamela Anderson admits in her new memoir that she knew very little about Tommy Lee when they eloped to Mexico in 1995.
“On the flight home, I asked him what our last name was and he said ‘Lee,'” recalled the actress in “Love, Pamela,” which hits bookstores Tuesday. “I said, ‘Oh, I thought it was Tommy Lee… something. Jones?”
Anderson wrote that she then asked Lee “where he lives,” to which he replied, “Malibu Road.”
Although the couple had only known each other for a few days when they said “I do”, the former Playboy model recalls being “in heaven” and “never letting go” of the Mötley Crüe drummer.

Anderson’s mother, on the other hand, wasn’t too thrilled when she heard the news.
“She was furious. “Who is Tommy?” the Beach Life star wrote. “She couldn’t believe I got married, she was crying because she had always dreamed of being at her only daughter’s wedding.”

However, Anderson defended herself, admitting that while her decision to run off with Lee was “definitely out of character”, she was “genuinely happy” and “lost in a sea of love”.

In her book, Anderson, 55, blames the breakdown of her marriage to Lee, 60, on two incidents: a sex tape that was stolen from their home in 1995 and released without their consent, and the rock star’s arrest for spousal abuse, which He was jailed for six months in 1998.
“Deep down, neither of us could forgive the other. We just weren’t prepared to go through all that,” she shares. “I loved seeing him with his boys, but the four of us together forever was just a dream.”
