Upon release the ethics<\/a> surrounding\u00a0Pam & Tommy –\u00a0<\/em>a Hulu series documenting the Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee sex tape scandal – was put into question. Close friend Courtney Love slammed the series<\/a> claiming it had caused “complex trauma” and while Anderson had remained largely silent on the matter her upcoming tell-all documentary Pamela, a love story<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>has confirmed it stirred up nightmares for the Baywatch alum.<\/p>\n

Per a report from\u00a0Entertainment Tonight<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>Anderson says in the film that it “really gives me nightmares” adding, “I have no desire to watch it. I never watched the tape, I’m never going to watch this.”<\/p>\n

Prior to the documentary releasing on Netflix from January 31, Anderson appeared in an interview with\u00a0The Guardian<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>While she has strongly criticised the film, the actress admits she can’t fault Lily James who portrayed her convincingly in the Hulu series.<\/p>\n

“It’s not her fault, it’s a job,” Anderson recently told the publication. “But whoever created it\u2014well, it just feels like something else stolen.”<\/p>\n

The 55-year-old added that she found it a “joke” that the\u00a0Mamma Mia\u00a0<\/em>star had been nominated for an Emmy. James was nominated in 2022 for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. She missed out on the trophy with Amanda Seyfried honoured for her own incredible transformation in The Dropout.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Directed by Ryan White and co-produced by Anderson\u2019s son with whom she shares with ex Tommy Lee, Brandon Lee, the forthcoming documentary has been several years in the making. According to a statement via Netflix, it “will feature the pop culture icon setting the record straight as she looks back on her professional path and her personal journey.\u201d<\/p>\n
