The X-rated video made \u201cBaywatch\u201d star Pamela Anderson and M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce drummer Tommy Lee more famous than ever, but not everyone realizes that the true story behind the tape is almost too weird to be true.<\/p>\n<p>The tape\u2019s distribution and aftermath is explored in a highly anticipated new limited series coming to Hulu called \u201cPam &amp; Tommy.\u201d The creators and actors recently discussed the project with <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2022\/tv\/features\/pam-and-tommy-sebastian-stan-lily-james-hulu-1235155975\/\">Variety<\/a>, and talked about why they felt this story was important to tell.<\/p>\n<p>Actor Sebastian Stan, who plays Lee, thought the subject matter was crucial. \u201cIt\u2019s an important story, I think, from being able to understand what the impact of that media tornado really was,\u201d Stan told Variety. \u201cFor them as a couple but particularly for her as a woman. I can\u2019t imagine what having a private home video stolen from you \u2014 how that wouldn\u2019t impact a newlywed couple.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Plenty of people believe that Lee and Anderson had something to do with the tape\u2019s release, perhaps as a way to make themselves more famous, but in reality, it got released in the strangest way. The Hulu series is based on a 2014 Rolling Stone article by Amanda Chicago Lewis that finally revealed the origins of the sex tape.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, Rand Gauthier (played in the series by Seth Rogen) was an electrician who did work in Lee\u2019s Malibu home. The drummer refused to pay for the services and when Gauthier returned for his tools, Lee brandished a gun and chased him off. So, the worker hatched a plan to sneak into the house wearing a fur rug that would make him look like the couple\u2019s dog on the security camera. Then, he stole a safe out of the garage that was filled with guns, jewelry, and a sex tape that would change the world.<\/p>\n<p>Gauthier teamed up with a porn producer to get the video distributed and make money off it, but no one was buying because it was stolen. So he headed to a new space called the world wide web and started selling it via a barebones website. His plan to profit on the content was ultimately foiled by people making their own copies for free. But in distributing the tape, the jilted electrician altered Lee and Anderson\u2019s lives forever.<\/p>\n<p>The series will explain what happened and how it was harder for Anderson than for Lee to deal with the publicity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s nothing weirder than truth,\u201d TV exec Sue Naegle told Variety. \u201cThe actual heist is so strange. But we also all looked at it and [had] the idea that there was a different way to look at this story through a 2022 lens versus how people might have felt in the \u201990s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe opportunity was to tell something that was emotional and funny and true and hard,\u201d she continued. \u201cThere was an unfair cultural response in the \u201990s. It bothered me then. And I think the chance to tell the story and to get people to see and understand how it was nobody\u2019s business, it was nobody\u2019s right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPam &amp; Tommy\u201d is making waves thanks to early photos, which show Stan and Lily James (who plays Anderson) looking so much like the real couple it\u2019s scary. \u201cI was blown away,\u201d Stan says. \u201cThe hair and makeup team deserve all the accolades that they can get.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The limited series \u201cPam &amp; Tommy\u201d will be available on Hulu starting February 2.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
