Fans are accusing the show's creators of profiting off women's trauma in the name of entertainment.
The story of history's first-ever viral video, the Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee sex tape, will be told in a new miniseries.
The show revisits the couple's romance, first documenting their wedding before the nonconsensual distribution of their sex tape, which was stolen from a locked safe in their home by an electrician who had been working on their property.
While the show hinges on the exploitation of Pam and Tommy, it appears that neither were involved in the creation of the project.
According to new reports, Pam and Tommy were greenlit without her approval and that she had no involvement in the show.
A source close to Pamela told Entertainment Tonight that she is finding the retelling of her trauma incredibly painful.
The source said that the series has been very hard for Pamela Anderson and for anyone that loves her.
The leak of the new show is causing a lot of pain for Pamela, as she still feels violated by the break-in that led to the tape being stolen.
Pamela has no regrets about her life, but the only thing she would probably erase is the break-in. It brings back a very sad time for her.
Many fans who had been looking forward to the show took to social media to express their disappointment, while others threatened to boycott the project.

there’s something vile about creating a biopic about someone who is still alive AND said multiple times that they didn’t want the series made, like what happened to human decency https://t.co/9lokY1KgGy

In May of last year, after the first photographs of the actors in character as Pam and Tommy appeared on the internet, a close friend of the actor accused the show's creators and the actor of plagiarizing.
In a post that has since been deleted, she wrote that the show was causing Pamela complex trauma and that her heart goes out.
Fans were quick to point out the irony of the nonconsensual distribution of a sex tape without the consent of those at the center of the crime.

This show coming out without her approval is the sex tape all over again. People are profiting off the exploitation of her once again. https://t.co/syNTaVSDN6

So, they're doing the same thing that happened to her years ago and they want to acknowledge this problem by putting out there a TV show about her life without her permission just to profit off of her pain? WICKED https://t.co/7y9CnG2vrU

Despite the creators intentions to cast the crime in a new light and correct the record, many can.

the show is literally going to put her leaked “tapes” into the spotlight again. mind you those tapes were quite literally stolen from her home and leaked to the public without her consent. for the producer of this show to not even ask for her input is OUTRAGEOUS and exploitative https://t.co/MpIKdooHU6

People couldn't help but feel that their trauma was being completely exploited in the name of entertainment and financial gain, which prompted one user to call out the wider industry for persistently making victims relive their trauma for entertainment.

Despite being overshadowed by their stolen tape, Pamela and Tommy's marriage was also abusive.
Pam accused Tommy of hitting her while she was holding their baby in 1998 and their marriage ended. Tommy was sentenced to six months in jail after pleading no contest.

@piersmorgan ur interviews w/ Donald Trump & my ex-wife are pathetic! Think she’d find something new to discuss instead of rehashing old shit but I guess she has nothing else going on & needs attention 🤷🏻♂️ Signed, “The abuser” (who she texts everyday & asks for me back)

How in the hell did Tommy and Pam get made in a post #metoo world. A well documented abusive relationship played for exploitation and laughs. Without the womens permission. Smh.

It seems that Tommy will be tuning in, even though Pamela seems to be against the project. The rocker said that he wanted to see Sebastian's portrayal of him.
Sebastian is playing me. Tommy talked about the real-life events after he said that the story was beautiful.
I think a lot of people would think it was just one thing, but it was really about privacy and how things got crazy. He said there are different laws now. It is a cool story and people need to know about it.
It is important to point out that Tommy's experience of the sex tape scandal was different to that of Pamela, who was ultimately shamed and publicly villainized.
D.V. DeVincentis, one of Pam and Tommy's executive producers, implied that the show would explore the destruction of Pamela's career and reputation.
I always think that Pamela Anderson and Lee were doing the same thing. One of them was slut-shamed and virtually drummed out of the business and turned into an un serious person. The other was given a new act and turned into a sex god. The only difference between the two people was their gender. That is it.
The show's creators were prompted to discuss what they thought the real Pam and Tommy would think of the new show, to which they said that Pam is the hero of the story.
Robert Siegel said that the show loves Pam. She is the hero of the show. We've tried to do right by her. From the writing to working closely with Lilly, who became our custodian of the character.
Despite reports that she had no involvement in the making of the show, its creators maintain that they reached out to Pamela but that she didn't engage.
Siegel said that they had respected her desire not to be involved.
