Pamela Anderson: what did she say about Tim Allen ahead of new Netflix film and response to Tommy Lee series

American star Pamela Anderson will feature in the upcoming Netflix documentary film, Pamela, A Love Story. The documentary will allow Anderson to discuss her life from her own perspective, taking ownership of a narrative that has largely been shaped by outsiders.

Anderson became famous modelling for lads magazine Playboy, before landing the now iconic role of C.J. Parker in Baywatch. She has gone on to star in several other films such as Barb Wire, a cult classic for which she won a Golden Raspberry - an award for terrible film performances.

She has also released two autobiographies and has a third in the works. Her new documentary will see her speak candidly about her life and experiences as a sex symbol who spent most of her career in the public eye.

Speaking about her portrayal by actress Lily James in the Hulu series Pam & Tommy, Anderson said that she didn’t blame her for taking the part.

Pam & Tommy explored the romance between Anderson and Mötley Crüe musician Tommy Lee, including their marriage less than 100 hours after they first met, and the leaking of their sex tape.

The series was made without Anderson’s input - James said: “I wish it had been different. My sole intention was to take care of the story and to play Pamela authentically.”

Speaking of the series before it was released, Anderson said: “I didn’t sleep last night at all. I blocked that stolen tape out of my life in order to survive. And now that it’s all coming up again, I feel sick.”

Several others, including Anderson’s friend, singer Courtney Love, spoke out against the drama series - Love said that it brought up ‘complex trauma’ for the star.
