Nowadays viral videos are an everyday thing, we have already got used to
there always being some kind of viral content to watch, but, in the 90's,
this was far from happening and the first step was the future was the video
of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee that went around the world.
Indeed,
that was the first step in the world of viral content that we have today
and, despite the fact that the internet was still in its infancy and that
social networks were nowhere to be seen, people found a way to do get copies
of the original VHS tape to every possible corner.
Pam & Tommy, the series that has made Pamela Anderson feel
“violated” for unearthing her demons from the past
Another thing that has become somewhat common today is the
leaking of material, both photos and videos and even personal audio of
celebrities. Such is the popularity that this has reached that a kind of
market and treasure hunters have been generated around the privacy of
celebrities.
But at the time this was not the case, in 1995 when the
media boom occurred around the tape where Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee had
sexual relations, the mere existence of this was a novelty in the world of
entertainment. But, behind all the headlines and statements, many forget
that there were people of flesh and blood.
The video would have been stolen by an electrician who worked
in the couple's house, who was in charge of showing it and even spreading it
by making copies, this would eventually significantly affect the couple and
especially Pamela, who was severely hit by the fact and suffered from
psychological consequences.
Now, after the series that
follows the events around this situation was announced, which ended up being
a before and after in the popular culture of the time, many fans of the
drummer and the actress expressed their joy at seeing in the small screen
such a curious story and finally being able to know the details.
But over time, the perception of the series has been changing,
especially after it began to be rumored that Pamela Anderson was strongly
affected by the idea that one of the most difficult moments of her life was
going to be portrayed and enjoyed by millions of people around the
world.
This was eventually confirmed after a close source stated
that “The Pam & Tommy series has been very painful for Pamela Anderson
and anyone who loves her. It is shocking that this series is allowed to
happen without her approval”, and even clarifying that the actress feels
“Violated” by the production.
Pam & Tommy would have affected Pamela Anderson by bringing
back painful memories
The series, which premieres on February 2 through the Star +
platform in Latin America, has begun to raise controversy among the networks
since some fans of the actress are criticizing the way in which the
producers want to earn money at the expense of of Pamela's pain.
The truth is that with or without controversy, the
production starring Lily James and Sebastian Stan does not seem to show
signs of repentance or stopping.
