14 DAY TRIAL // The original Hollywood pneumatic babe Pamela Anderson is reportedly on the brink of bankruptcy, with two companies suing her for unpaid bills and the government asking that she pay backward taxes. In a statement just released to TMZ, the star admits to having some financial issues that would be best explained by some misunderstanding or miscommunication rather than lack of money, but strongly denies being on the verge of bankruptcy.
Reports surfaced last week that Anderson owed a total of $1.2 million and that, what with pressure from the two companies and the government, she might have no other option than to file for bankruptcy and continue living in the trailer park where she currently resided. This is far from the case, Pamela explains in the statement issued to the celebrity gossip / paparazzi agency. As a matter of fact, her attorneys are now looking into the claims recently made.
“It is true that I am in a dispute with some of the contractors working on my home. This is because after paying millions of dollars to build the house I continue to get bills from the contractors. My lawyers are reviewing the work done to see if the bills are fair. If they are, they’ll be paid. If they aren’t, they won’t be.” Anderson says. As for the claims she hasn’t paid her taxes in a long while, the “Baywatch” star shares that, “Mistakes may have been made in calculating taxes owed and we are now in the process of ensuring that any taxes owed are paid.”
As we also reported last week, a construction company and a removal firm claimed that Pamela Anderson was still to pay their bills. The construction company hired to work on the star’s Malibu house said that she was yet to fork over $600,000 for the materials, labor and subcontractors’ fees, while the removal firm claimed it hadn’t seen a dime for the job it did moving Anderson’s belongings from the Malibu house to the trailer park before the house went into renovation. Both companies said they were looking to press charges.
“A lot of people are owed a lot of money.” the Bruder Construction president was saying just a few days ago. “Putting food on the table isn’t easy in this economy. When someone doesn’t pay their bills, it’s that much harder!” Mini-Haulers President Jim Brown also added.
