Stacey Dooley and Larry Dean dissect the story behind Pamela Anderson's stolen sex tape. In 1996, a VHS tape started circulating of grainy handheld footage of Baywatch star Pamela Anderson and her husband Tommy Lee getting intimate. Basically — a sex tape. When the tape made its way onto the internet and into the hands of tabloids, the story exploded. Pam became synonymous with the tape - people assumed they were making money off it, that she leaked it herself. But the reality was she was the victim of a horrible crime. In 2022, a TV series set out to reset the narrative and tell the true story behind the tape - but once again without Pam’s permission. Is this history repeating itself, or is the story finally being set straight?

This episode features clips from: The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Sep 1994, Pamela Anderson’s interview with Variety, published on YouTube, Jan 2023.

This episode contains very strong language.
