The actress stated,

I do feel like I’ve definitely figured out who I’m not over a lifetime and now I’m remembering who I am and who that little girl was before anything happened to her

She added,

In my case it was a female babysitter who sexualized me very early, forcing me to play weird games. All of this occurred because she threatened me not to tell anyone or else.

Moreover, the actress explained why she did all this, she said,

I was trying to protect my brother. I didn’t want it happening to him and so I would do things so she wouldn’t touch him. And that’s where it all unraveled. I was very ashamed. I didn’t tell anyone. I didn’t know what to do

But, what made matters worse for her however, was meeting a man 10 years older than her, when she was just 12, and getting raped. The model said that by that time, a portion of her just gave up, which was another nail in the coffin.

During the interview, Pamela also discussed her difficulties with self-esteem, admitting,

I never believed I was attractive

She added,

I always thought I was athletic and funny. It kind of catered to my insecurities and probably because of my early sexualization and my shame about it all, I didn’t want to feel that way. I didn’t like that I had any kind of qualities that were attracting the wrong kind of attention
