Pamela Anderson opens up about the incident that allegedly prompted her to end her relationship with third husband Rick Salomon in her new Netflix documentary Pamela, A Love Story.
Anderson – who was also married to Tommy Lee, Kid Rock, Jon Peters and Dan Hayhurst – claims in the documentary that she ended things with Salomon after spotting a crack pipe in her Christmas tree.
“He still denies it to this day and says it was someone else,” she says in the film, as quoted by the New York Post.
A professional poke player, Salomon is best known for starring in and then being released in the sextape he made with Paris Hilton, later titled 1 Night In Paris.
Last straw: Pamela Anderson, 55, says her first marriage to Rick Salomon, 54, ended when she found a crack pipe in her Christmas tree, according to the New York Post; Seen in Cannes, France in 2014
According to Pamela, 55, it was a simple process of elimination that led her to believe Salomon hid the crack tube in the tree.
“Who else would have a crack pipe in the Christmas tree? It wasn’t me,” she allegedly says in the document.
Salomon insisted the pipe wasn’t his while speaking to the Post, but he also admitted to being a decades-long habitual user of the drug.
“I smoked crack for 25 f***ing years, but the crack pipe in the Christmas tree wasn’t mine 1000 percent,” he claimed, while also sharing the good news that he’d gotten sober 15 years ago.

Denial: “I smoked crack for 25 f***ing years, but the crack pipe in the Christmas tree was 1000 percent not mine,” Salomon claimed to the Post. ‘[That] Crack pipe has nothing to do with me,” he continued, before admitting, “but I’m a crackhead”; seen in 2007
‘[That] Crack pipe has nothing to do with me,” he continued, before admitting, “but I’m a crackhead.”
The incident only appears to have ended Pamela’s first marriage to Rick, as the two tied the knot twice, once for two months from October 2007 until their divorce filing in December of that year, and then later from early 2014 to early 2015.
“We were only married a few months, it was annulled, but we were still friends,” she says in her new film.
Solomon’s sobriety was apparently the factor that prompted the Baywatch star to retry their relationship seven years after beginning their first marriage.
“When he got sober and had been sober for years, we decided to try again,” she explained. “It didn’t take long either.”
Take two: Salomon said he’s been sober for 15 years, which Anderson cited in her document as the reason for her second marriage to him in 2014. “When he got sober and had been sober for years, we decided to try again. ‘ She explained. “It didn’t take long either”; seen in 2007
After her slightly longer second marriage to Salomon, Anderson was briefly married to film producer Jon Peters for less than two weeks, although she later claimed they weren’t officially married.
Peters, whose womanizing was hilariously dramatized by Bradley Cooper in Paul Thomas Anderson’s film Licorice Pizza, claimed last week he plans to leave Anderson $10 million in his will.
“And she doesn’t even know that. Nobody knows that. I’m just saying it with you for the first time,” he claimed to Variety. “I probably shouldn’t say it. So that’s for her, whether she needs it or not.”
Anderson’s new memoir Love, Pamela and her Netflix documentary Pamela, A Love Story both release Tuesday.
