Pamela Anderson has slammed the creators of Pam & Tommy, but she claims the Hulu show is not Lily James’ fault.
The Mamma Mia actress, 33, plays the Baywatch star, 55, in the series, which is based on her and ex-husband Tommy Lee’s sex tape and their whirlwind marriage in the 1990s.
Lily previously stated that she spoke with the Scary Movie 3 star prior to production, and that her’sole objective was to take care of the story and to represent Pamela genuinely.’
Meanwhile, the former Playboy model has been silent on the explosive eight-parter until lately, when she finally spoke out in the trailer for her new Netflix documentary.
In it, she said she felt ‘sick’ about having her past re-examined, adding: ‘I want to take control of the narrative for the first time. I didn’t feel like I had much regard for her.
Pamela has now opened up more about the series, which was created without her input and drew harsh criticism, especially from her friend Courtney Love, who called it ‘outrageous.’
Pamela told The Guardian she felt ‘violated’ by the makers but said Lily was just doing a ‘job’.
Speaking about the Cinderella star, she added: ‘I heard she’d been nominated for an Emmy, but maybe that was a joke. It’s not her fault; it’s a job.
‘But whoever created it – well, it just feels like something else stolen.’
The pop culture icon also discussed the pressures she encountered as a teenager to have plastic surgery in order to seem more like other Playboy models.
She was told that they ‘all have surgery,’ and Pamela explained, “I was like, “Really? “How do I register?” That decision was made without much thought.’
‘Not much thought went into anything,’ she remarked regrettably.
Pamela said she ‘went missing’ and was ‘MIA even to myself’ in the two decades since the sex tape was revealed.
‘I was trying drugs – so not me. I just went off the rails,’ she continued, calling herself ‘difficult’ at work.’
Over the past year, Pamela also revealed she has been on a man detox, with her goal in January 2022 being: ‘Don’t meet any men. Just focus … just be in love with myself.’
She added: ‘Believe me, I’ve been restless. I’ve thought: “Well, maybe I should just call …?” Then: “No.”‘
