Up until a recent string of allegations by several actresses, Harvey Weinstein’s sexually predatory behavior has always been Hollywood’s best-kept dark secret.

Having been around the industry for quite some time now, actress Pamela Anderson certainly knows a thing or two about the abusive behavior from some of the industry’s biggest names.

But instead of showing sympathy for dozens of female accusers who spoke about their experiences, the 50-year-old “Baywatch” star claimed that women shouldn’t have allowed themselves to be alone with the disgraced producer.

“It was common knowledge that certain producers or certain people in Hollywood or people to avoid, privately,” she said in a recent appearance on the Megyn Kelly TODAY, as relayed by People.

“You know what you’re getting into if you’re going into a hotel room alone.”

Anderson also recalled her personal experiences with sexual abuse when she first entered the industry, but said she used “common sense” to get out of such situations.

“When I came to Hollywood, of course I had a lot of offers to do private auditions and things that made absolutely no sense,” she said. “Just common sense: don’t go into a hotel room alone. If someone enters a door in a bathrobe, leave. These things that are common sense.”

The host, Kelly, meanwhile, suggested that victims were often pressured by their agents into such scenarios, but Anderson insisted that there’s always a way around it.

“That’s what they should have done. Send somebody with them. I think there’s easy ways to remedy that. That’s not a good excuse,” she explained.

Anderson also shared how one executive offered her a condo and a Porsche to be his “number one girl.”

“‘Well there must be a number two then, so I’m not interested.’ Money, homes, roles in movies. And I just didn’t want to do it that way. I had no desire. I’m a romantic and it didn’t appeal to me,” she said.  Khristian Ibarrola /ra
