Pamela Anderson Teams Up With Netflix For Upcoming Tell-All Documentary

Pamela Anderson is ready to tell her story. Today, Netflix announced the upcoming release of a new Anderson-centric documentary, already in production for several years, which will find “the pop culture icon setting the record straight as she looks back on her professional path and personal journey.”

The news was shared on Netflix’s social media accounts, accompanied by a note from Anderson.

“My life/ A thousand imperfections/ A million misperceptions,” she writes. “Wicked, wild and lost/ Nothing to live up to/ I can only surprise you/ Not a victim, but a survivor/ And alive to tell the real story.”

Directed by Ryan White (The Keepers, Ask Dr. Ruth), the untitled documentary will feature exclusive access to the former Baywatch star’s life in the form of archival footage and personal journals. White will produce the project alongside Jessica Hargrave, Julia Nottingham, and Anderson’s son, Brandon Thomas Lee. Josh Braun serves as an executive producer.

Netflix’s new documentary comes on the heels of Hulu’s Pam & Tommy, a miniseries looking back on how Anderson (played by Lily James) and then-husband Tommy Lee’s (Sebastian Stan) stolen sex tape led to the first big celebrity sex tape scandal in the mid-90s.

While James told Porter magazine that she reached out to Anderson before filming but got no response, an anonymous source allegedly close to the real life star told E! News that she will never watch Pam & Tommy.

“The burglary is the only thing in [Anderson’s] life she would erase from her life. It haunts her to this day,” the insider allegedly said. “It was a violation having this tape taken. This is a very traumatic time in her life. And it’s shocking that they are recreating it… It’s a sad reflection of how far we’ve not come as a society. Where are the apologies owed to Pam?”
