The Hulu series notes that the story is taken from Amanda Chicago Lewis’ Rolling Stone article, titled “Pam and Tommy: The Untold Story of the World’s Most Infamous Sex Tape.” While Lee and Anderson have both denied profiting off the tape, some believe there was a deal made that would allow them to share in the tape’s revenue.Īnd in some ways, Lee did profit off the tape, if only by elevating his rock and roll celebrity.
A year later, the tape appeared legally on shelves. The tape was later streamed online in 1997. Gauthier promptly sought distribution for the tape and would later sell copies online. It also held the tape-a homemade recording of the couple having sex. He burglarized the Lee/Anderson residence in 1995 and stole a safe containing valuables. Rand Gauthier, Lee’s former electrician who had been fired by Lee during a renovation on his house, claims to have stolen the tape by himself.

Two years later, a tape recording of the couple would appear across computer screens worldwide. Īfter a four-day, drug-riddled, not-so-private Mexico tryst, Tommy Lee, founder and drummer for the heavy metal band Mötley Crüe, wed Pamela Anderson, model, Baywatch actor, and apparent love of Tommy’s life.
