Pamela Anderson stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday night to talk about her latest movie The Last Showgirl.
While there, Jimmy brought up something he once heard about her getting paid to attend one of Donald Trump’s birthday parties.
The Baywatch star, 57, clarified that it was while she was a Playboy Playmate.
As part of her playmate duties, she was paid $500 a day to make appearances and Trump requested her presence.
‘When you’re a playmate, they give you $500 a day to pretty much go anywhere, so I was hired at that time for a birthday party.’
Kimmel retorted: ‘How sad that he has to hire people to come to his birthday party.’
