Britney Spears has taken to social media to praise Pamela Anderson's sons for standing by their mom amid the release of the former Baywatch star's Netflix documentary.
Anderson, 55, has been the subject of numerous headlines lately following the release of Pamela, A Love Story - the documentary centered on her life and career as an actress, model, activist, and mother.
Since its release on January 31, many people have praised the Canadian-American personality for the raw and unflinching glimpse into her life - especially as she touches upon being objectified and sl*t-shamed by the media following the leak of her personal tape with then-husband Tommy Lee.
Viewers of the two-hour doc have taken to social media to commend Anderson. One person took to Twitter to post a video of one of her sons praising his mother for her strength and bravery at the documentary's premiere, writing: "Britney's sons could stand to learn a thing or two from Pamela Anderson's sons."
In the video, Anderson's son Brandon Lee, 26, was seen standing next to his mother at the premiere, telling reporters: "You know, I've never met a woman as brave as my mother.
"I think a lot of sons would say that but I truly mean that [...] She's been a bulldog protecting me and my brother my whole life."
Evidently, 41-year-old Spears must have seen the short clip, as she took to Instagram in a now-deleted post to comment on Anderson's recent documentary. Adding in a caption underneath a black and white image of children playing with chalk on a sidewalk, the mom-of-two wrote: "I'm such a fan of Pamela Anderson. She was the only sex icon at one time in America and she still is!!!"
"I really respect the fact that her children stood up for her relating to the fact that people were trying to sell her story from the past!!! They said 'why the hell bring up things that happened 20 years ago if that really messed up my mom???' Referring to the embarrassing subject being sold in a comedic TV comparison ... he's right!!! He went on to say because of the embarrassment she went through a very dark period in her life..." she added, referring to recent Hulu series Pam & Tommy starring Lily James and Sebastian Stan.
"I mean when I read THAT, I was like DAMN!!! With 4 documentaries released about me last year with people I adore speaking about my past!!! THAT alone was almost as hard as what I went through in my past," Britney continued.
She then briefly mentioned how her father, Jamie, and brother, Bryan, had taken advantage of her during her conservatorship, concluding her post by writing: "So Pamela gave me an understanding that people should support you exactly where you are in that moment of your life..."
Britney's now-deleted post comes after the 'Baby, One More Time' singer spoke out about her son's comments about her sharing nude photos on social media.
Since the start of her career, Anderson was portrayed as a sex symbol and bombshell, often not given serious acting parts due to the way she looked. During the documentary, Anderson's other son Dylan, 25, described how he believed the Pam & Tommy Hulu series was done in poor taste.
"Why bring something up from 20 years ago that you know f***ed someone up? The worst part of her life and making a semi-comedy out of it didn't make sense," he stated.
Lily James, who portrayed Anderson in the series, reportedly wrote a letter to the former Playboy model prior to the series being released. In an interview with Net-A-Porter, James stated: "I was very hopeful that we would be in touch right up until we started filming ... My sole intention was to take care of the story and to play Pamela authentically."
Anderson then told The New York Times in January that she'd never read the letter, stating: "It was already hurtful enough the first time. It's like one of those things where you're going, 'Really? People are still capitalizing off that thing?'"

Pamela Anderson’s son has revealed that he wishes his mother profited off her famous sex tape with ex-husband Tommy Lee.
Back in 1995, the former Playboy model and her ex-husband - who are the parents of Brandon and Dylan Jagger Lee - had a private tape stolen from a safe in their garage and then sold off by Rand Gauthier, who had been working on their house.
Their leaked footage became the world's first-ever viral video and was recently portrayed on TV in the Hulu series Pam & Tommy - in which Anderson said that the unauthorized retelling of her trauma left her feeling "violated," per ET online.
Now, the 55-year-old actress has opened up on her side of the story in the new Netflix documentary: Pamela, A Love Story, which dropped on the streaming giant on January 31.
Watch the trailer for Anderson's new documentary below:In the documentary, the Baywatch icon's children spoke about the impact the tape had on them, especially as kids.
According to The Sun, Brandon said: "When I was a kid, I always thought that everyone knew things about me and my family that they really shouldn't have known, and everyone had this dirty little secret about my family.
"I remember in school if anyone brought up my mum I would just fight. I was very quick to flush with anger," the 26-year-old added.
The outlet stated that her 25-year-old son Dylan also spoke about the video and disclosed that his mom decided not to make money off it because she wanted to put her loved ones first.
"Things would have been different if she had made money on that tape," Dylan reportedly said. "But people made millions of dollars and she was like ‘no’ because she 100 percent cared about her family being OK and me being OK.
"I wish she would have made the money. She would have made millions of dollars if she had just signed the paper," he added. "Instead she sat back with nothing and watched her career fizzle into thin air. She was in debt most of her life."
The Home Improvement actress also explained in the tell-all documentary that she would have never "monetized" the stolen tape, not even for a billion dollars.
However, she did recall that one day after school Dylan was in tears asking "why did you do that tape?", and she responded: "Really, we didn’t make a sex tape."
"I wasn’t thinking when I was in Playboy that I was going to have kids soon and they would grow up and it would be embarrassing for them," Anderson said, per the publication.
"I always thought I’d tell them, age-appropriate, but I never got the chance. They found out before I could really talk to them about it. But a tape of your parents having sex is a whole new level," she added.
After the notorious video ended up being leaked on the internet without Anderson and the Mötley Crüe rocker's permission, she tried to sue IEG for publishing it but the couple ultimately entered into a confidential settlement agreement with the distribution company.
However, her tumultuous relationship with the now 60-year-old came to an end when Lee served six months in jail for kicking her while she was carrying their then seven-week-old son Dylan. She ended up divorcing him in 1998.
Her Netflix special as well as her memoir, Love, Pamela, are out now.

Pamela Anderson has revealed that her sons were horrified when she decided to ditch her makeup as well as her glam team and embrace her natural beauty.
The former Playboy model made headlines back in September last year after appearing at Isabel Marant Womenswear Spring/Summer 2024 during the coveted fashion event with a bare face.
Anderson wore a striking yellow shift dress for the fashion event but chose to keep her long blonde hair loose and not wear any make-up as she attended the shows.
Speaking to PEOPLE in an interview after the iconic moment, the 56-year-old said that she didn't expect the moment to garner as much attention as it did, but she was glad it became a "positive message."
"I'm makeup-free at home, so why not for Paris Fashion Week?", she told the outlet. "I really didn't know anyone would notice it, but I'm glad it became a positive message."
Now, in a new interview with Highsnobiety, the star has opened up about the reactions of those a little closer to home.
While referring to her no-makeup trend as a "healing experience", Anderson delved into her more natural regime now which involves rosehip oil, Epsom salts, olive oils, and shea butter.
It also involved getting rid of her "glam team" much to her sons' surprise.
"My boys were like, 'Mom, you must have a glam team,'" Pamela said. "And my agents were like, 'You have to have a glam team! Where's the stylist?' I go, 'I know how to put a dress on myself. I don’t need someone buttoning up my blouse. I got this.' And they were just horrified."
Anderson shares two children, Brandon Thomas and Dylan Jagger, with her former husband Tommy Lee.
Despite her sons being a little wary of the move, other opinions were highly positive.
After seeing snapshots of the icon rocking her natural beauty at the event last year, celebrities such as Jamie Lee Curtis and Scarlett Johansson spoke of Anderson's courageousness.
Taking to Instagram, Curtis posted a photo of the star alongside the caption: "THE NATURAL BEAUTY REVOLUTION HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN! @pamelaanderson in the middle of fashion week with so many pressures and postures, and and and, this woman showed up and claimed her seat at the table with nothing on her face. I am so impressed and floored by this act of courage and rebellion."
Johansson also added that she thought the look was a "powerful message."
"I think it is definitely different to see somebody that's in the public eye, a woman in the public eye, go to a fashion show or big event with no makeup on. It's just very different from what we're used to," Johansson told Pop Sugar.
"It's a powerful message for women to see that, whether they follow suit or whatever the effect is, in the zeitgeist. It's powerful for women to see other women rejecting standard beauty norms," the actress continued, before recalling a "mortifying" incident that happened to her while shooting her 2005 movie, The Island.
"The conversation on set [was] about lighting and hiding your bad skin," she said. "The conversation between the director and the makeup artist and the cinematographer and the lighting person. I remember it was so, so mortifying."
We love to see powerful women supporting other powerful women!

Sam Asghari has come to Britney Spears' defense after Kevin Federline's recent claims about her teenage sons distancing themselves from her due to her nude Instagram pics.
The 44-year-old, who was married to Spears from 2004 to 2007, claimed that their two sons - Sean Preston Federline, 16, and Jayden James Federline, 15 - have chosen not to see her because of her racy Instagram photos.
In a statement shared on his Instagram story on Monday (August 8), Asghari expressed his continued support for the 40-year-old's "positive body image" and said that her sons shouldn't be ashamed.
He continued by saying that "even if there was truth" to the 'Toxic' singer's sons being ashamed of her suggestive snaps, it would be normal because teens are often "embarrassed" by their parents.
Read Asghari's post below:The fitness trainer wrote that the 'Toxic' singer is just expressing herself on her social media platforms now that her 13-year conservatorship has ended.
"Eventually if not already they will realize their mother's choices are harmless and an expression of newly found freedom," he said. "There is nothing to be embarrassed about just lots of things to be proud of."
He said that the teens are "very smart" and will be old enough to make their own decisions, adding that they "may eventually realize the 'tough' part was having a father who hasn’t worked much in over 15 years as a role model".
Asghari continued slamming Federline in another post by saying that his "gravy train will end soon" and that's why he is making claims against the pop star after a decade-long silence.
Federline recently took part in a bombshell interview set to air on the UK's ITV next week. The interview was about his relationship with the pop star, and in it, he claimed that their children have decided not to visit her, the Daily Mail reports.
He also alleged that Sean and Jayden didn’t attend their mother's wedding to Asghari in June because of her frequent nude Instagram posts.
Following the claims, the 'Baby One More Time' singer responded to Federline’s "hurtful" comments in a statement posted to her Instagram story.
"It saddens me to hear that my ex-husband has decided to discuss the relationship between me and my children," she wrote. "As we all know, raising teenage boys is never easy for anyone."
"It concerns me the fact that the reason is based on my Instagram … It was LONG before Instagram … I gave them everything … Only one word: HURTFUL," she added.
The former couple's feud continued on Thursday (August 10) after Federline shared videos on Instagram of Spears speaking sternly to her kids on Instagram after she claimed that they had acted "hateful" towards her when they visited.
The 'Lose Control' singer wrote in his caption that he can't "sit back and let my sons be accused in this way" after Spears took to her social media to criticize him in a new-deleted post for disclosing information regarding her relationship with her sons.
In the lengthy post, the 'Stronger' superstar made several claims and said that her former husband's house has "more weed than Ludacris, 50 Cent, Jay Z, and Puff Daddy combined" and that her teens were distancing themselves from her.
Spears concluded that the situation involving her sons "should have been 100 percent dealt with privately" and not online.

Britney Spears' teenage sons are officially taller than her judging by a new family snap.
The Everytime hitmaker, who pulled her face mask down for the photo, can be seen out in a field with her two sons who are both wearing their masks.
And it looks as though Sean Preston Federline, 15, and Jayden James Federline, 14, are now officially taller than their petite mom!
The photo was originally posted on the Instagram page @prestonandjayden, a fan account for Britney's boys.
Since it was posted, the photo has racked up nearly 4,000 likes at the time of writing and many followers of the account have taken to the comments to share their thoughts on the sweet snap.
One fan wrote: "Love this picture! Britney and her boys! I hope you boys hug your mama tightly ever [sic] time you see her! She’s gone through so much and you have been her light."
Another asked: "Is this from their hike back in December where she's standing on the huge pipe line. Same mask same shoes same shorts and shirt."
A third said: "I'm so happy she spends time with her boys! They grew so much!"
And the gushing comments continued to come in, with yet another fan saying: "Omg!!!! YAYA!!!! How recent is this? SO SO THRILLED SHE GOT TO SEE HER BOYS."
A different fan advised Britney's teenage sons to "remember to always look after your mom."
They added: "She’s worked her butt off to give y’all the best of what this world has to offer. Wishing y’all the best."
Last year, Jayden did a very candid Instagram Live in which he spoke openly about his doting mom, her boyfriend Sam Asghari, and his grandfather - also co-conservator of Britney - Jamie Spears.
Jayden called his grandfather “a jerk” and said “he’s a pretty big d*ck.” The teenager does, however, get on with Britney's boyfriend. “I like Sam. He’s good. He’s nice. He’s a really good dude,” he said.

Britney Spears' sons Sean Preston and Jayden James have made a long-awaited appearance on social media for the first time in months.
The teens featured in their father Kevin Federline's pal Eddie Morales' Instagram post earlier this week as they all enjoyed a fun day out with Britney's ex-husband, E! News reports.
Grinning alongside their dad's friend Eddie, Sean, 16, and Jayden, 15, looked all grown up in the snap.
The boys could be seen posing for a fun snap with Eddie, who also included a video of Jayden's incredible piano skills.
Eddie, who is the CEO of Movision Entertainment, could be seen standing in-between the growing boys who beamed big smiles.
The other snaps showed Kevin, 43, hanging out with Eddie and other friends. "During times of grief knowing u have #family really feels worth living," Eddie wrote in his Instagram.
"Talk bout seeing my nephews when they were pods smaller then [sic] my hands now look at #life."
He added: "love you bro @federline4real...NOW THE WORLD WILL SEE HOW MUCH OF A GREAT #DAD HE HAS BEEN!"
Last month, Britney wrote about her boys on Instagram as they both had birthdays in September.
"My boys' birthdays were last week," the 'Toxic' hitmaker wrote, adding: "and unfortunately they are growing up and want to do their own things....I have to ask their permission to post them because they are extremely independent little men."
The singer went on: "It makes me crazy because they are so tall and geez they are still growing. They went to a dance last week and I cried for two days. 'MY BABIES!'
"My babies in a suit!!! It's crazy!!! And girls get ready cause my boys are so handsome!!!"
She added: "There's a lot I can't share with you all because my kids are very private which I love but I will tell you they are both extremely talented and I'm so incredibly blessed to have these two little men in my life!!!
"And if they're reading this…which I'm pretty sure they're not…I love you two little devils so much."
Britney was married to backup dancer Kevin from 2004 to 2007.
In September 2019, Kevin was given 70% custody, while Britney was given 30% unsupervised custodial rights.
The new photos of her boys come just days after Britney's father Jamie Spears was finally suspended as her conservator amid an extended legal battle.
