Pamela Anderson says she ‘feels sick’ as she breaks silence on Pam & Tommy in trailer for Netflix documentary-Samuel McManus-Entertainment – Metro

Pamela Anderson has broken her silence on the controversial Disney+ series Pam & Tommy in the first trailer for her upcoming Netflix documentary.

The 55-year-old hit headlines again last year upon the release of the series about her and former partner Tommy Lee’s sex tape, which saw her being portrayed by Lily James.

Now, in the trailer for Pamela: A Love Story, the former Baywatch actress says: ‘I blocked that stolen tape out of my life in order to survive. Now that it’s all coming up again, I feel sick.

‘I want to take control of the narrative for the first time. I didn’t feel like I had a lot of respect.

‘I had to make a career out of the pieces left. But I’m not the damsel in distress. I put myself in crazy situations and survived them.’

The trailer shows archive clips of Pamela’s career, including a sad moment where she is asked by Ruby Wax, ‘Do you want to be a serious actress?’

‘I am a serious actress,’ Pamela replies before Ruby looks to the camera and laughs.

Elsewhere in the trailer, a male voice is heard saying: ‘I don’t think people consider her the owner of her own image. It’s Pamela Anderson, public property.’

Pamela continues: ‘I don’t care what people think ’cause it’s the only choice I had. If I cared what people think, I wouldn’t be here.

‘Some people think, “Oh, she’s a Playboy thing” or this sexual person and they hate you for being something else.

‘You have to be brave you have to use what you’ve got. Why can’t we be the heroes of our own life story?’

She jokes, ‘Maybe I just do all the interviews naked, there’s no mystery here,’ before the trailer comes to a close.
