Pamela Anderson delved deeper into her dislike of Hulu’s Pam & Tommy miniseries in a new interview with Howard Stern on Wednesday.
The 55-year-old actress – who said she hasn’t seen the show and hasn’t planned to – admitted she felt “run over” after allegedly finding out about the show through an ad.
The Baywatch star – who claims Sylvester Stallone once offered her a “condo and a Porsche as his number one” in her new Netflix documentary – claimed to Stern that she’s never been contacted about the series, reflecting the making and the aftermath dramatizes stealing her infamous sex tape with her ex-husband Tommy Lee.
Worse, she told Stern that — based on what friends told her — she didn’t think Lily James’ or Sebastian Stan’s performances were particularly accurate.

She said: “I remember seeing that commercial for Pam & Tommy and I was like, what? Nobody called me, I’m still alive, nobody asked me, it’s none of my business.
“I felt kind of overwhelmed by it. I don’t think they portrayed Tommy or me very accurately. I haven’t seen it, but I’ve heard from people that it’s a very shallow representation of us. I wish they had called.
Stern asked her if she’d ever considered contacting the production or possibly actor and producer Seth Rogen, whom he called “reasonable,” but she said she hadn’t contacted anyone.
But even if she had reached out, she doubted she would want to revisit such a painful time in her life.
“I don’t think I would have been involved, especially on this subject,” she added. ‘Why? Why are you bringing all this up again?’
