Pamela Lee Fights Lawsuit

A miniskirted Pamela Anderson Lee was in court on Monday to defend herself against a breach- of- contract suit. The former Baywatch babe is being sued by the producers of the cable movie Hello, She Lied, who claim she backed out of an agreement to appear in the film because she received a better offer, namely the feature film Barb Wire. Lee's lawyer, Major Langer, contended that the Playboy pinup never agreed to the contract because she felt the script was too racy. But Adam Miller, lawyer for the plaintiffs, wasn't buying that argument. "Your Honor, this is Pamela Anderson," he told Los Angeles Superior Court Judge David Horowitz. "Pamela Anderson has never done a project outside television that did not have nudity." Langer claimed that Lee dropped out of the film because she was uncomfortable with simulated sex scenes in a shower and on a pool table (that does sound uncomfortable). "One thing is true, Pamela Lee does not and never has had a problem with nudity," said Langer. "[However], she did have a problem with the nudity and sexuality in this film." He noted that the questionable scenes were dropped when the film was later made with model Kathy Ireland in the lead. Miller says that Lee's decision to leave the picture was entirely motivated by her desire to make Barb Wire, which subsequently bombed at the box office. "This was her major chance to be a movie star," he said. This is only the latest court battle for Lee. She and her husband, Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, recently sued Penthouse, claiming that the magazine published pictures of them from a sexually explicit video. A judge later dismissed the suit. Lee, who arrived in court without her rocker hubby, is expected to testify sometime during the trial, which could last a week.
