This comes after Anderson said the success of The Last Showgirl is 'the best payback' after Pam & Tommy.
The 57-year-old actress was devastated by the Hulu series about her turbulent relationship with former husband Tommy Lee but says the critical success of her latest film has helped her to move past it.
Speaking on Sirius XM's 'Andy Cohen Live', she said: 'It's just one of those things. It happened and now I'm here and so this is the best payback … I'm being seen and recognised for my work and not these tawdry moments.'
When asked about the Hulu series, which starred Lily James and Sebastian Stan as Pamela and Tommy, she said: 'I didn't have any involvement. No one called me, which was so strange and that was hurtful. I think ethically it's illegal. But I mean, you're kind of fair game. I remember people telling me that a long time ago that you are basically public property and have no right to privacy.'
When asked if anyone from Hulu ever approached her with an apology, she replied, 'No they haven't.'
Speaking previously about the series, which recreated the moment when her sex tape with ex-husband Tommy Lee was stolen, Pamela told The Hollywood Reporter: 'I blocked that out of my life. I had to in order to survive, really. It was a survival mechanism. Now that it's all coming up again, I feel sick from my whole stomach — from the middle of my chest all the way down to my stomach. [My stomach] feels right now like it's just been punched.'
Many of Anderson's fans figure she would be nominated for an Oscar as she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award and a SAG Award; seen at the January 5 Golden Globes in Beverly Hills

Anderson also said she was 'aching to express herself' before starring in The Last Showgirl.
The ctress believes director Gia Coppola was able to see beyond the 'nonsense' that surrounds her life, after watching Pamela's 2023 Netlix documentary, Pamela, a Love Story.
The Hollywood star - who plays Shelley Gardner, a Las Vegas showgirl, in the drama film - said on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: 'Gia saw the documentary, and she could just see someone.
'Thank god she could see through the nonsense, you know, and see that I was a woman aching to express herself.'
Pamela is thankful that Gia, 38, gave her the opportunity to showcase her talent in 'The Last Showgirl'.
The actress shot to fame as CJ Parker on the hit TV series Baywatch
The actress - who shot to fame as CJ Parker on the hit TV series 'Baywatch' - said: 'It was nice that she gave me the opportunity, because that's a skill in itself, to see past all of the nonsense.'
Pamela recently admitted that she's always been 'very curious about the craft of acting'.
The movie star is still best known for her role on 'Baywatch' - but Pamela always knew she was capable of much more.
Pamela - who became a global sex symbol in the 90s - told Variety: 'I was always very curious about the craft of acting, but I didn't have to apply myself when I was running around in a bathing suit on 'Baywatch'.
'I was curious about it - I would be sitting on the floor of Samuel French, reading Tennessee Williams and Eugene O'Neill plays. I didn't know how to get from there to there, but I just had this dream. I always kept it a secret that I could be more than I was doing.'
