Pam Andrews, a former Rhythm City actress and South African media personality now based in the UK, has found herself at the center of online controversy after sharing a provocative video that left many questioning her motives and well-being.
The video, which was reshared on X (formerly Twitter) by @Ke_Arturo on 13 May 2025, features Andrews crawling around on the floor in lingerie, claiming she was searching for a lost earring. However, what truly caught viewers’ attention was how she exposed her body throughout the video, with the camera intentionally focused on her behind. The clip quickly went viral, with one user captioning it: “Pam Andrews is weird lately, showing the world her backstage 😑. I hate poverty.”
The backlash was swift and harsh. Many social media users accused Andrews of trying to stir controversy for attention or to pave the way toward launching an OnlyFans account. One user joked that with adult entertainment brands offering thousands per shoot, Andrews might be testing the waters. Another lamented how many South African actresses seem to struggle for income, often resorting to provocative stunts for attention or financial gain.
One commenter remarked:
“It looks like most South African actresses are really struggling and have to resort to such behaviour. To score a gig now, it takes more than just talent.”
Others shared similar sentiments, suggesting she might as well monetize such content or questioning if she was mentally well.
“Next week she will be announcing her OnlyFans account,” another user quipped.
Pam Andrews Responds: A Need for Attention
This isn’t the first time Pam Andrews has shocked fans with her bold fashion and online antics. In a previous video, she admitted to intentionally wearing skimpy clothing to draw attention and be the centre of focus.
“I was like, I’m going to wear something so ridiculous and out of this world so that everyone can stare at me. I would look at who’s looking at me and count them… At the time, that was what was making me happy,” she confessed.
Her need for validation, she said, stemmed from a period in her life when external attention made her feel empowered.
The Actress Who Left the Spotlight for Mental Health
Andrews has also previously opened up about her long absence from the entertainment industry, attributing it to her battle with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
She revealed that repeated attempts to return to acting failed because her condition triggered episodes of panic, depression, and hormonal imbalance. Despite being in therapy, Andrews has decided to close the chapter on her acting career for good.
“Even though I’ve tried so many times to just get into that space again, as soon as I try to go back, I struggle with my hormones. My whole body panics, and depression and anxiety kick in,” she explained.
Public Reaction Divided
Pam Andrews’ video has clearly struck a nerve with South Africans, many of whom expressed concern, while others ridiculed her. Her actions raise important questions about mental health in the entertainment industry and the lengths celebrities go to stay relevant in the social media a
ge.
Whether her video was a cry for help, an attempt at reinvention, or simply performance art, one thing is certain: Pam Andrews has once again left Mzansi talking.
