Pamela Anderson Says Her Sons With Tommy Lee Are 'Miracles' Given Their 'Gene Pool'

Pamela Anderson marveled at her two sons with ex-husband Tommy Lee in her new memoir.

The "Baywatch" star shares intimate details about herself in her memoir, "Love, Pamela," and a Netflix documentary titled "Pamela: a Love Story," both of which drop this month.

Anderson revealed that it was her sons Brandon, 26, and Dylan, 25, who encouraged her to tell her story on her own terms, according to People.

In an excerpt obtained by People, she wrote in her book that it was a "miracle" her children turned out so well, given their "gene pool" and what they went through growing up.

"Brandon and Dylan are true miracles, considering their gene pool," she wrote. "They have been through so much, yet they are not full of holes."

The 55-year-old mom of two also detailed the toll that the 1995 theft of her and Lee's personal tapes, which were made into a sex tape and sold without their permission, took on their marriage.

Anderson admitted that though they tried to deal with it the "best way" they knew how, she and the Mötley Crüe drummer didn't have "the maturity level to really handle" the relentless attention that came with the sex tape scandal at the time.

The former couple, who tied the knot in 1995, welcomed Brandon in 1996 and Dylan the following year.

Lee was charged with spousal abuse in 1998 and served jail time for an altercation with Anderson, which led to their divorce.

Anderson said that she thinks their parents' split was a very sad thing for their two sons.

"I think we really let our kids down. And that's something it's really hard for me to forgive myself about. We should have found a way through it," she said. "I couldn't accept any kind of violent maneuver. It was my childhood fears coming out. I didn't want that for my kids and as much as I loved Tommy more than anything in the world, I loved my kids more."

In the years that followed the divorce, Anderson focused on her children. She credited them with her survival.

"They saved me," she said. "I don't want to put that on my kids but having children changed everything. I've loved every moment."

Anderson made similar comments during her interview with Jim Axelrod for "CBS Sunday Morning" last week while promoting her upcoming memoir and Netflix documentary.

"I was a mother. That saved me," she said at the time. "You know, if I wasn't a mom, I don't think I would've survived."

"Love, Pamela" will hit shelves on Jan. 31. "Pamela: a Love Story" will premiere on Netflix on the same day.
