15 Celebs Who Are Struggling with Severe illnesses

5. Pamela Anderson – Hepatitis C

Pamela Anderson became a poster child for not sharing needles when she announced that she had hepatitis C. However, it was not from a drug needle, of course, but a tattoo needle. She said that her then-husband Tommy Lee never told her that he had hepatitis C and the two shared a tattoo needle. She battled the disease for over a decade before announcing herself cured in 2015 due to a new anti-viral medication.
