"There's never going to be a great misunderstanding of me. I think I'm a little whacked"
About this Quote
The subtext is about preempting judgment in a culture that has spent decades consuming Anderson as symbol before person: the Baywatch body, the tabloid narrative, the scandal cycles, the activist turn. By calling herself "whacked", she borrows the language used against women who don’t conform and repurposes it as self-authorship. It’s not a confession seeking absolution; it’s a boundary. If you come looking for stable, respectable, easily summarized, you’ve arrived at the wrong celebrity.
Context matters: Anderson’s fame was built in an era that treated female celebrities like public property, then scolded them for the distortions that attention produced. This sentence is a sly defense mechanism and a small act of agency. She doesn’t ask to be misunderstood less; she insists she can’t be neatly understood at all, and that’s the point.
