Do life rights hold any weight in modern Hollywood?
The limited Hulu series Pam & Tommy tells the true story behind the release of Pamela Anderson’s (Lily James) and her then-husband Tommy Lee’s (Sebastian Stan) stolen sex tape, and Anderson isn’t too happy about the show’s release.
A source close to Anderson told EW that she won’t be watching the show now or ever, saying, “I don’t know she’ll never, never watch this. Not even years from now. Not even the trailer.”
The showrunners and series star Lily James have previously stated they reached out to Anderson during the series’ development, but never received a response. The source confirms Anderson was contacted multiple times, first “years ago” way before filming took place and again during the series’ post-production, but Anderson wasn’t interested.
Tommy Lee, however, did talk to Sebastian Stan, and the source says, “Tommy doesn’t get it. He’s in the same mindset he was at the time: that any publicity is good publicity.”
