Despite being in the infamous sex tape, Baywatch star Pamela Anderson, 55 has not watched the tape featuring her and former husband, Motley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, 60.
In a preview clip for a new interview with “CBS Sunday Morning”, Anderson was asked what she wants people to understand about the stolen VHS.
“That it was stolen property, that it was two crazy naked people in love,” said the former Playboy bunny. “I mean, we were naked all the time and filming each other and being silly, but those tapes were not meant for anybody else to see.”
Pamela Anderson felt hurt
“I’ve not seen it to this day,” Anderson continued. “It was very hurtful.”
The sex tape resurfaced after the release of Hulu’s Pam & Tommy which was nominated in several categories for the Golden Globes.
Pam & Tommy stars Lily James and Sebastian Stan and it is about the leaking of the home movie shot by Lee on his honeymoon with Anderson between 1995 and 1996.
She also refused to watch Tommy and Pamela Anderson sex tape
In early 2022, a source told Entertainment Weekly that Pamela Anderson also refused to watch Pam & Tommy.
In an upcoming documentary, the blonde beauty is slated to retell the story on her own terms.
The official Netflix Twitter account announced in March 2022 that “Pamela Anderson is ready to tell her story in a new documentary,” and it will be available early next year.
“My life,” a note in the announcement read. “A thousand imperfections, a million misperceptions … I can only surprise you — not a victim, but a survivor and alive to tell the real story.”
The sex tape made her feel sick
In a trailer for the documentary, she said that reliving the year 1996 — the year “Pamela Anderson sex tape” with Lee was leaked — has made her feel “sick.”
“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,” she says in the two-minute-long trailer for “Pamela: A Love Story,” which drops Jan. 31.
With both her Netflix documentary and the release of her upcoming memoir, “Love, Pamela,” she hopes to “take control of the narrative for the first time.”
Today, Pamela Anderson has said she’s in a “really good place.”
“I feel like I’ve left here, did something crazy and came back in one piece,” she told CBS.
“Like I said, I don’t know what I’m capable of. I still don’t know, but I think that was the beginning … all the rest of it, it’s, you know, behind me. I feel like I’m in a really good place.”
Being a mum helped her get through it all
According to a release, Anderson says her two sons were what got her through the ordeal, which recently re-entered the zeitgeist as the subject of the hit Hulu series Pam & Tommy, starring Lily James and Sebastian Stan in the title roles.
“I was a mother. That saved me,” Pamela Anderson says of that period in her life. “You know, if I wasn’t a mom, I don’t think I would’ve survived.”
The full interview with “CBS Sunday Morning” airs this Sunday at 9 a.m. ET on CBS and will also stream on Paramount+.
