- Pamela Anderson has shared a disappointing update on her relationship with ex-husband Tommy Lee.

- Anderson spoke about attempting to send her former spouse some pickles.

- She added that she thinks his duty to current wife Brittany Furlan complicates communication.

Pamela Anderson has opened up about the difficult trajectory of her relationship with ex-husband Tommy Lee amid the latter's marriage to former Vine star Brittany Furlan.

The actress fielded several questions about her dynamic with the Mötley Crüe drummer, whom she married in 1995 before the couple divorced in 1998, in a new interview on Bravo personality Andy Cohen's *Radio Andy* show.

"She's married to your ex, so I think if she's corresponding with someone, whether he's a catfish or not, on Instagram, it seems like that would seem nefarious to me?" Cohen asked Anderson, referencing reports that Furlan, who married Lee in 2019, was seduced online by a catfish posing as a different musician, per PEOPLE.

Anderson replied that the internet gives "too much access to people," and said that her current relationship with Lee "is what it is" between them.**

"I haven't talked to him, but my son, Dylan, is getting married soon, so I'll see them at the wedding," Anderson said of one of the former couple's two adult sons.

Cohen then pressed Anderson on the men's relationship with Lee, and the *Naked Gun* star said that things are healthy between them.

"I always ask about him. I tried to send him pickles. I try to stay in contact," Anderson said. "My kids just said, 'Mom, just,' you know, I don't know what it is. I have to stay out of it and I shouldn't really be saying anything, but I do wish them the best."

Next, Cohen dug deeper into Anderson's thoughts on Furlan, asking, "Do you think if he were not with this person, you might have a better communication?" to which Anderson replied, "Oh, boy. We're going to be in big trouble. I do."

She elaborated that she thinks Lee is "a real romantic" and "very dedicated to his wife," but thinks "that he just doesn't want to cause any waves" for anyone involved.

"I don't know, but I don't like it. But I wish we had a better relationship," admitted Anderson. "I haven't spoken to him in a long time. I miss him, and I just — with the kids getting married and having grandkids, we're always going to be connected in some way."

** has reached out to representatives for Lee and Furlan for comment.

Anderson has spoken at length about her relationship with Lee in the recent past, particularly after the release of Hulu's 2022 miniseries *Pam & Tommy*, which presented a dramatized, scripted interpretation of the pair's relationship in the 1990s.

In an interview with Cohen last year, Anderson said she felt that the project was unethical, but felt validated in knowing that she came out on top of a negative situation with awards season success with the drama film* The Last Showgirl.*

"I mean, it's just one of those things. It happened and now I'm here, and so this is the best payback," Anderson told Cohen. "I'm being seen and recognized for my work and not these tawdry moments."
