Pamela Anderson's Hep C Victory | Portland Maine News

Pamela Anderson opens up about her harrowing battle with hepatitis C, a diagnosis in the late ‘90s that once gave her just ten years to live — a grim forecast that reshaped her life, especially as a mother. Facing intense treatments that drained her finances and left her burdened by shame and guilt, she compares the stigma to childhood sexual abuse, feeling branded as “damaged goods” for years. Yet, by 2015, she was declared virus-free — a victory celebrated with an amfAR Award of Courage, honoring her resilience. Though still processing the trauma, Anderson channels her experience into her powerful career resurgence, starring in new films. She no longer sees herself as a victim but as a victor, using her journey to fuel her voice, strength, and artistry — proving that her past struggles have only deepened her power.
