Pamela AndersonPamela Anderson has asked the media to act with “dignity” during her divorce from Kid Rock for the sake of her children.

Pamela and Kid Rock, real name Robert Ritchie, raced to formally register their separation and intention to divorce on Monday after less than four months of marriage.

Pamela confirmed the split on her website on Monday and has since written: “I’m very concerned with the press on mine and Bob’s divorce.”

“I know I have people who want to defend me or people who want to defend Bob, but my children can read — and I’d like to resolve this amicably — not fueling fires — and with dignity.”

“Kids don’t know the difference between fact and tabloid … does anybody?”

“Truth is Bob is great in many ways — we just don’t belong together. We mutually agree.”

“I love my children, he loves his son…we both have wonderful family and friends as support going thru this time.”

However, according to reports on the New York Post’s Page Six, Pamela might have another reason to request the media plays down the events: it might not cast a good light on her.

According to the newspaper, friends of Ritchie’s have claimed once he moved from Detroit to Pamela’s home in Los Angeles, he found himself to be a constant babysitter for her two sons (from her previous marriage to Tommy Lee) as well as his own son, while Pamela was busy filming Blonde and Blonder in Vancouver and partying nearly every night.

The friends added that Ritchie also doubts Pamela had a miscarriage as he claims because he never heard from her that she was pregnant.

Pamela’s spokesperson responded by saying that Pamela is “a wonderful mother” and “absolutely had a miscarriage”.
