'Pam and Tommy' is a series inspired by the relationship between Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, a couple that was involved in a s-x scandal.
Pam and Tommy is the series in which Lily James and Sebastian Stan play Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, who during the 90s had a controversial romance that was surrounded by a s-x scandal after an intim-te video of them was revealed. the famous.
During the 90s, Pamela Anderson was at her best, as she was an actress and erotic icon of the time and for her part, Tommy Lee, a rock star in Mötley Crüe, one of the wildest bands on stage and off. the. The series Pam and Tommy, which premiered in February, recovers that romance between celebrities and their s-xual scandal.
This is how the couple's s-x scandal arose
The third and most unknown vertex of this story - his version did not come to light until Rolling Stone published a report on him in 2014 - is Rand Gauthier (Seth Rogen), an electrician who is fond of esotericism and who had taken his first steps as a porn actor before working on the renovation of Tommy Lee's house.
The Mötley Crüe drummer had rudely fired him without paying him what he owed, but the real trigger for his deliberate revenge was that the day Gauthier returned to the mansion to pick up his tools, the rocker kicked him out at the point of a knife. gun.
It was then that his former employee hatched the plan to take the safe from his house. What he could not imagine is that inside, in addition to jewelry, weapons, money and a Pamela Anderson bikini, he would find the video of her honeymoon.
Anderson and Lee met on a New Year's Eve night in 1994 at the Sanctuary club in Beverly Hills, which she co-owned. After that night and several unsuccessful calls, Lee followed her on a business trip to Cancun and managed to meet her. Four days later, they were married right there.
The video, which would end up going around the world, was a private recording of her vacation, lasting an hour, which included some s-xual scenes. Gauthier, with the help of a porn producer, used the internet to promote the sale of VHS copies, since streaming video via the web was not yet a reality at the time.
Pam and Tommy did not miss their safe until January 1996, when hundreds of copies of the video were circulating in the United States. With the help of lawyers and private detectives they tried to stop it, but it was already unstoppable, especially from the moment a group called Internet Entertainment Group posted the video, now yes, on the internet.
The series, directed by Craig Gillespie, expresses with touches of humor -some memorable- the morbidity that the couple arouses and the bizarreness of the story and avoids the most controversial part -in 1998 Tommy Lee was convicted of abusing his wife- by focusing exclusively in the sweetest period of their relationship.
The series shows, yes, the crisis that the whole issue of the video unleashes in the couple and becomes more serious and empathic with Anderson when it comes to evidencing the s-xist reactions caused by the dissemination of the video, from the misunderstanding of her own husband. to prejudice against her because of her past as a Playboy model.
You see a Pamela Anderson who struggles to be more than just a running butt on the set of Baywatch and who admires Jane Fonda for her ability to combine a more playful and erotic register in films like Barbarella and roles considered more serious.
Pam and Tommy puts the issue of consent at the center and yet a thorny question remains in the air and that is that the series has been shot without the approval or the involvement of the couple.
