Pamela Anderson was accused of being a “homebreaker” after allegedly stealing her new man from another woman and separating a happy family of five.
The model and actress is accused of seducing handyman Dan Hayhurst – whom she married on Christmas Eve – while he worked on his estate in the Canadian city of Ladysmith and maintained a relationship with another woman.
On Wednesday, the 53-year-old former Baywatch star announced that she married her “bodyguard” Dan, 40, in her sixth marriage, with her fifth husband, saying, “I’m exactly where I need to be – in my arms of a man who loves me. “
But Dan’s heartbroken ex Carey, who had been living with him and raising his two children for the past five years, told how she was taken aback by the case and knew nothing about their marriage until she read about it online.
She said the couple started getting close early last year – while she and Dan were still together – before he finally moved from his shared home to Pam’s in July.
Carey, 42, said: “This is not the confined love story being portrayed, it is all a facade.
“I decided to speak openly because I want people to know that my nearly five-year relationship, with three children involved, ended because of the case that Pam and Dan started while he was still with me.
“It is sad that people celebrate and applaud this, when it all started with deception, denial and devastating choices for everyone involved.
Transformed worm
“It wasn’t this romance that happened overnight. He worked with her for more than six months before it all happened.
“He was not her bodyguard, he is a handyman, she hired him to work at her home.
“We were all totally surprised by this, it has been very difficult for us. And it’s not just me and the children, many people have been hurt by them. Dan lost friendships and business relationships because of that. “
The mother of a son Carey, from Vancouver Island, and Dan, then a single father, met after meeting on a dating app, and she moved in with him on the mainland in Squamish, a city north of Vancouver, helping raising their two young children.
The couple then moved to Vancouver Island for a fresh start, about four years ago.
She said: “We did everything together, like family vacations, family fishing trips, we worked on family projects together. It was always us. “
But his happy life would change forever after Dan was hired as a contractor to renovate Pamela’s five-acre Ladysmith home.
He started working there in early fall 2019, soon complaining to Carey about how “crazy” Pamela was and how difficult and demanding she was to work.
In a text shared with The Sun, he wrote: “The dragon has been released! Talking about Pam. “
In January 2020, Pamela “married” film producer Jon Peters before parting ways with him two weeks later, claiming it was never a real wedding.
Carey said, “I would say, ‘What are you doing? You need to get out of this job. It’s crazy. ‘ There was the crazy period when she married that guy Jon Peters for two weeks.
“She told all the contractors that she was getting married about the day before, so when I saw the news, I texted Dan.
“He responded by saying, ‘Hahaha, he’s older than her father, but I think our money problems are over’, which he meant because the guy is rich.
“I thought that was very cruel on his part. He didn’t really seem to get along with her. “
Carey said things started to change at the end of last March, with Dan spending more and more time away from home.
She continued: “The worm has turned. Covid happened and seemed to happen overnight.
“Dan stayed at her house and didn’t come back, and here I am looking after the children.
“At first he denied it when I confronted him, but then, finally, I asked, ‘Are you sleeping with Pam? He said, ‘All I’m going to say is that I crossed the line.’
“At first he said, ‘I want you to stay at our home. I do not want you to go. I just need to find out. ‘
“Later he apologized to me. He said, ‘Carey, I love you. I don’t know what’s going on right now. I’m not in my head right now. I’m not in a good place. ‘
“He asked me to give him time to work things out, so I just let him do what he was doing.
“And there was no going back. I met Pam and went to dinner with her. My daughter worked for her. I couldn’t believe it. “
Dan and Pamela’s relationship continued to develop, and last July, he moved out of the house he shared with Carey and moved in with Pam.
Unilateral history
On Wednesday, Pam told an interviewer that she had been with Dan for a year, adding, “This year together felt like seven, like canine years.”
Carey moved out of the shared house after Dan, and is currently for sale.
She claims that he and Pam behave like teenagers and said: “When he turned 40 last year, she bought him a boat.
“He broke her car three times now, and her boat twice. It’s a walking mess. They sit on their property drinking – it’s like Dan and Pam’s show. “
Pam claims that she and Dan had the blessing of all family and friends for the wedding, but Carey disputes that, saying, “No one was invited to the wedding.
“He texted his mother the night before the ceremony and said, ‘I’m going to get married tomorrow, keep this in DL and don’t say anything.’
“And she didn’t answer. As if she obviously respected it because it is her son, but she was not invited. It doesn’t even look like a real wedding. Everything seems so controlled. “
She added: “He can be very manipulative, so, in a way, they were made for each other, but I don’t see that lasting. I would be very surprised.
“Dan and I never got married because I never want to.
“It’s nothing to me, it’s a piece of paper and it causes problems when you want to get out of it.
“And he said to me, ‘I’m never going to get married again.’ And so here we are, six or eight months or whatever the hell they are in their relationship and are married to.
“I just think, ‘Wow, who are you? Who is the man I was with for five years? ‘None of this makes sense. “
Carey’s daughter, Denise, 21, who worked as a worker at Pam’s house, told The Sun about the discovery of Dan’s relationship: “I was shocked when I heard about this.
“I just thought, ‘How can this be something?’ I’m here working with them full time and I had no idea.
“And the fact that he has a family, we were a mixed family, he has two small children and obviously she is much older.
“What was your thought process? What was going on in your mind?
“I was so shocked. It is so unreal, like something out of the cinema. I can not believe. Everyone thinks it’s a cloistered love story and nobody knows that there was an affair and that a family is involved.
“And I think the hardest part is that people are being fed with this one-sided fairy tale story, when in reality there is much more than that.
“It has damaged many people’s lives. It has been very difficult for my mother.
“She totally outdid herself and was a full-time mother for those children. It has been difficult to see her go through this.
“There was no hard time or things were bad at home, things were completely normal the whole time until that happened.
“Pam doesn’t have the best wedding history, that’s for sure. So when Covid is done and she can go back to traveling and stuff, I really don’t see it working. “
How she got to her husband 5
PAM married wild rocker Tommy in 1995 after meeting him for only 96 hours and had two children with him, Brandon and Dylan.
The couple split up after the Motley Crue drummer assaulted her and spent six months in prison. They divorced in 1998, but met briefly in 2008 before finally giving up again.
She became engaged to the rapper and musician in 2002, but then they went their separate ways. But after returning, they were married in 2006.
They split up later that year. Pam suffered a miscarriage while the two were married and divorced shortly afterwards, claiming “irreconcilable differences”.
IN 2007, Pam and professional poker player Rick married at The Mirage hotel and casino in Las Vegas, but divorced just ten weeks later, citing the usual “irreconcilable differences” and the marriage was officially annulled later. They remarried in 2014, but divorced for the second time in 2015.
Pam first dated the film’s producer more than 30 years ago and apparently they were married in a secret ceremony in January 2020.
They split up after 12 days and the actress later claimed in an Instagram caption that they “were never legally married” and it was just a “bizarre theatrical lunch”.
