Pamela Anderson Says Harvey Weinstein's Victims Knew What They Were Getting Into

For a woman who has suffered greatly from sexual abuse -- including being gang raped when she was in 9th grade -- Pamela Anderson is showing no sympathy to Harvey Weinstein's victims.

During an interview with Megyn Kelly, Anderson laughed when asked if she was surprised about the Weinstein scandal. "I think it was common knowledge that certain producers and certain people in Hollywood are people to avoid. Privately," she explained. "You know what you're getting into if you go to a hotel room alone."

When Kelly argued that many of them women felt pressured into meeting with Weinstein privately, Anderson doubled down, saying that Weinstein's victims should have had someone with them when they met with the powerful producer. "I just think there's easy ways to remedy that, that's not a good excuse."

Anderson told TMZ that she does not regret her remarks and is not victim blaming, but merely believes that women should defend themselves against assault and harassment. "There are a lot of self-protection courses. There is even a well known story of suffragettes learning martial arts." She added that "women [must be] aware of certain problems and how to spot them and fight them. It is totally hypocritical to ignore this."

It's also totally hypocritical for a victim of sexual abuse to blame other victims for their own trauma.
