Pamela Anderson Forced To Explain Sex Tape Scandal To Kids 9/11/08

Pamela Anderson had to tell her pre-teen sons all about her sex tape scandal with their father Tommy Lee after they begged her to watch comedy movie Borat.

The former Baywatch star famously performed sex acts on her ex-husband in the footage, which was leaked to a porn company and distributed a decade ago.

And, because the scandal becomes a pivotal part of the Borat movie, the model/actress felt it was time to reveal all about the sex tape - before her 10- and 12-year-old boys found out about it from friends.

She says, "I explained to them... 'Mom and daddy run about naked all the time and we taped some things... and someone stole the tape.'

"They really wanted to see Borat and I finally had a breakdown and let them because all their friends had (seen it) and I said: 'There are a few things we have to talk about before you see Borat.'

"So I did sit down with them and watch Borat. I kind of went 'La la la' over the parts I didn't want them to hear... I tried to muddle through that."

In the film, comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat character watches the sex tape.
