An official logline called the “definitive” movie an “intimate portrait embedded in the life of Pamela Anderson as she looks back at her professional and personal path and prepares for the next steps on her journey.”
Anderson’s announcement came one week before the finale ofPam & Tommy, which tells the story of the sex tape scandal that surrounded Anderson and Lee in the 1990s.
“After the tape was made public, it was a very traumatizing situation,” the source explained, “and it’s unfair that she is being re-subjected to this trauma, like re-opening a wound.”
The source added, “Pamela deserves a level of respect. She’s a human being and a mom. There’s a sense of hypocrisy about it. It’s her life and she should have the decision [as to] whether it’s turned into a commodity for public consumption.”
ThePam & Tommyfinale premieres Wednesday on Hulu.
