Hollywood producer Jon Peters claimed Monday that his 12-day marriage to Pamela Anderson went bust after he paid off some of the "broke'' actress's debts — adding, "There's no fool like an old fool."
The former hairstylist-to-the-stars, 74, took umbrage at a source telling Page Six last week that he asked her to marry him on a whim — but that within a day and a half, she realized she had "made a terrible mistake'' and that Peters was "too controlling.''
Peters, who produced the 2018 hit remake "A Star is Born'' featuring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, wrote in an e-mail, "Everything they told you was a lie'' — including even that he asked Anderson to marry him.
He said Anderson, 52, proposed to him in a text.
"Needless to say that when she texted me that she wanted to get married, it was kind of a dream come true even though I was engaged to someone else and the lady was moving in,'' Peters wrote.
"I dropped everything for Pam. She had almost $200,000 in bills and no way to pay it so I paid it and this is the thanks I get. There's no fool like an old fool.''
The pair had secretly tied the knot in a Malibu ceremony Jan. 20.
Peters — who went from to celebrity hairdresser to leading Hollywood producer, including of "Batman" in 1989 — and Anderson of TV's "Baywatch" fame had dated nearly 30 years ago.
Then they announced Feb. 1 that they were splitting.
A source previously said Anderson felt she had foolishly jumped into the marriage because her heart was "too open'' from a recent "spiritual cleanse'' in India.
But Peters implied that he told Anderson they were over in a text.
Peters said, "There's a lot more to the story but I think the text … is self explanatory'' — attaching a copy of what he wrote "dear pammy'' to tell her they were through.
"these past 9 days have been a beautiful amazing love fest,'' he texted the actress. But "this whole marriage thing with lawyers, debt, and jazmin [sic] has scared me. it made me realize that at 74 i need a simple quiet life and not an international love affair."
Jazmin refers to what the Miami Herald has called a "new, racy lifestyle website.'' Peters claimed that it borders on porn and said Anderson has been getting her money from it for the past year.
Videos posted to the site Monday covered a variety of topics from skin care to diet to exercising.
"Since I have worked my whole life to try to make something for myself, that was very concerning to me,'' he said of Anderson's ties to the site.
In his text to Anderson, he added, "i thought building an empire together would be fun but i was wrong.
