We’re getting a look at Pamela, a love story, in the first trailer for the upcoming Netflix documentary about the life and career of Pamela Anderson.
Described by Netflix as “an intimate and humanizing portrait of one of the world’s most famous blonde bombshells, Pamela, a love story follows the trajectory of Pamela Anderson’s life and career from small town girl to international sex symbol, actress, activist and doting mother.”
In the trailer, Anderson reveals her thoughts about the infamous sex tape with first husband, Mötley Crüe’s Tommy Lee, that was stolen and distributed on the internet.
“I blocked that stolen tape out of my life in order to survive, and now that it’s all coming up again, I feel sick,” Anderson says in the clip, released Tuesday.
The sex tape scandal was back in the spotlight recently via the Hulu series Pam & Tommy, in which she was portrayed by Lily James. It tells the story of her whirlwind romance with Lee, and the chaos that unfolded in their lives in the 1990s when their unauthorized sex tape was made public.
“I want to take control of the narrative for the first time,” she says in the documentary.
“I put myself in crazy situations and I survived them.”
The trailer concludes with her asking “Why can’t we be the heroes of our own life story?” and then she quips, “Why don’t I do all the interviews naked? There’s no mystery here.”
The documentary is directed by Ryan White and produced by Jessica Hargrave, Julia Nottingham & Brandon Thomas Lee.
Pamela, a love story premieres January 31 on Netflix.
