The series “Pam & Tommy” gave Pamela Anderson “nightmares”. In her own documentary she tells her view of things about the sex tape.
The series “Pam & Tommy” about her so-called sex tape gave Pamela Anderson (55) “nightmares”. She reveals that according to preliminary reports in the documentary Pamela: A Love Story, out January 31, 2023 on Netflix.
From her sons Brandon (26) and Dylan (25) she learned about the series, which started on Hulu a year ago. “Pam & Tommy” traces the scandal surrounding the sex tape that was stolen from the home of Pamela Anderson and her ex-husband Tommy Lee (60) in 1995. The thieves sold the juicy footage to a website. The clips made the rounds on the then still new Internet.
Pamela Anderson has never seen the series and will never do so. “I don’t feel like watching it,” she says in the documentary. “I never watched the sex tape, I won’t watch the series either.” She suppressed the scandal surrounding the video for a long time. “It was a survival mechanism,” she says in Pamela: A Love Story. “And now that it’s all coming up again, I’m sick.” She wishes the makers of “Pam & Tommy” had gotten their permission.
Son Dylan also criticizes the series in the Netflix documentary. “Why pick up something from 20 years ago that you know harmed someone?” he says. “It was the worst part of their life and they’re making it half a comedy. It doesn’t make any sense.”
Pamela Anderson clarifies: It was not a sex tape
In addition, the “Baywatch” actress makes it clear that the video that has landed on the Internet is not a sex tape in the modern sense. The perpetrators cut out nude scenes from stolen home videos and reassembled them. “We didn’t record a sex tape,” she clarifies.
With “Pamela: A Love Story” the Canadian wants to show her point of view. Her autobiography “Love, Pamela” will also be available in bookstores on January 31st.
