Here's Why Pamela Anderson Will Never Watch 'Pam & Tommy,' According to a Source
A source close to Pamela Anderson is opening up about why she will never watch the new Hulu series Pam & Tommy, in which Lily James portrays her.
The new series follows her relationship with ex-husband Tommy Lee and what led to their sex tape leaking.
The source chatted with Entertainment Weekly and confirmed that Pamela was contacted multiple times to be involved in the series, but she wasn’t interested. The producers didn’t need her permission to make the series since it’s based on an article that was published by Rolling Stone in 2014.
“I do know she’ll never, never watch this,” the source said. “Not even years from now. Not even the trailer.”

“As a friend of Pamela, at least no one will ever ask me again if the tape was really stolen,” the source added. “But imagine if a celebrity today had their nudes leaked and then Hollywood recreated not just the crime but the actual nudes — that would never happen. In the ’90s, Pamela‘s body was deemed by a judge to be public property. There was no question the tape was stolen property, but the court decided it wasn’t private property because her body belonged to the world.”
The source pointed out how messed up it is that Pamela is still a victim, even after the #MeToo movement.
“Pamela is somehow still the exception to the rule. She’s still up for grabs. That’s messed up. Yes, it’s brief clips — but to me the most damning aspect is that [Pam & Tommy] didn’t just tell the story, they recreated moments from the boat,” the source said.
Pamela now lives in Vancouver and “she doesn’t read the headlines… she’s happy to be focused on her philanthropic efforts and wants any press she ever gets to be about that now.”
