Jon Peters Claims He & Pamela Anderson Divorced Only After He Paid Off Her Debts

The marriage between producer Jon Peters and Pamela Anderson only lasted 12 days, but now Jon is making some pretty crazy claims.

Jon alleges that the marriage busted only after he paid off some of the “broke’’ actress’s debts — adding, “There’s no fool like an old fool.”

The producer had reached out to Page Six after the outlet printed details from a source claiming that Jon asked Pam to marry him on a whim and that within a day and a half, she realized she had “made a terrible mistake’’ and that Jon was “too controlling.’’

“Everything they told you was a lie,” Jon told Page Six. “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.”

“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,” he said.

A source previously said Pam felt she had foolishly jumped into the marriage because her heart was “too open’’ from a recent “spiritual cleanse’’ in India.

But Jon implied that he told Pam they were over in a text: “There’s a lot more to the story but I think the text … is self explanatory,’’ he wrote to Page Six, attaching a copy of what he wrote Pam 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 has scared me. It made me realize that at 74 I need a simple quiet life and not an international love affair.”

Jazmin is a website that, Peters claims, borders on porn and said Pam has been getting her money from it for the past year.

“I thought building an empire together would be fun but I was wrong,” he went on to tell Pam via text. “I am a simple guy who loves my kids. I don’t want to fly back and forth to Canada. As beautiful as that place is I don’t like traveling. I’m sorry.”

“I still want you to be in my movie. … This will be an amazing breakthrough for you,’’ he texted, referring to his upcoming movie, Private Dancer. “I can love you by giving you a new career. We need a couple weeks to detune then we can talk. I love you. JP”

He added, “P.S. I have built a financial empire over the last 50 years that I’ve left all to my kids. It’s something that is very private and personal to me.”

Wow… well clearly he felt the need to set the record straight. Good for him.
