The former Playboy playmate-turned-actress – currently the subject of a much buzzed-about eight-part Hulu series based on the sex tape scandal with ex-husband Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee – announced the news on social media recently.
“My life/A thousand imperfections/A million misperceptions/Wicked, wild and lost/Nothing to live up to/I can only surprise you/Not a victim, but a survivor/And alive to tell the real story,” reads her handwritten note on Netflix letterhead.
Her son, Brandon Thomas Lee, who serves as a producer on the project, reposted the note on his Instagram story underscoring the phrase, “The real story.”
The Ryan White-directed film has reportedly been in the works for several years and will include archival footage, her personal journals and exclusive access to the pop culture icon.
White’s previous documentary credits include Ask Dr. Ruth, Serena and the Sundance Film Festival award-winning The Case Against 8.
Pam & Tommy is a fictionalised account providing background for one of the pair’s most infamous episodes: their stolen sex tape.
The stolen footage was leaked online, prompting the couple to sue the distributor, Internet Entertainment Group – which legitimately sold it in 1998, and making a reported US$77mil in less than a year.
Helmed by I, Tonya director Craig Gillespie, the series tracks the couple’s whirlwind romance, their quickie 1995 wedding, and their turbulent marriage, which ended in 1998, amid reports of physical abuse.
