It’s not Throwback Thursday, but Pamela Anderson didn’t let that stop her from taking a trip down memory lane. On Monday, the actress and activist posted a series of photos dating back to 2005, when she joined then-newlyweds Donald and Melania Trump for a celebration at the Trump Taj Majal in honor of the future president’s birthday.

Anderson, rocking teased hair and a low-cut white dress in the old photos, tagged the president and first lady in her post, writing, “once upon a time.”

Reaction from Anderson’s followers has been mixed, with some dubbing her a “traitor,” and others calling it “awesome.” According to an interview Anderson gave in 2018, however, the seemingly chummy relationship caught on-camera was all for show.

“I think it was his birthday,” the Baywatch star told The Hollywood Reporter of the 2005 photo op. “I was hired to be there. We all were paid like $500 a day. He was with a wife — I don’t know which one — but he was nothing special.”

She might be eating those words at the moment. Last Friday, the 52-year-old star — who voted for Jill Stein, not Trump, in 2016, according to that interview — posted an open letter praising the first couple and urging POTUS to issue a pardon for her close friend, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Assange is currently incarcerated at a British prison and has been fighting extradition to the U.S for leaking classified information.

In her letter, Anderson — a passionate supporter of Assange — hailed the Trumps as “the leading couple of the people.”
