Pamela Anderson is reclaiming her power.

“I blocked that stolen tape out of my life in order to survive, and now that it’s all coming back up, I feel sick,” Anderson says in the clip, released Tuesday.
“I want to take control of the narrative for the first time.”

In the teaser, the former Playboy friend didn’t go into detail about how and why her sex tape resurfaced. However, in February 2022, Hulu released a miniseries called Pam & Tommy, starring Lily James and Sebastian Stan, which became a huge success.
At the time of its release, sources revealed that Anderson would “never” watch the show.
“I know she will never, ever watch this,” an insider told Entertainment Weekly. “Not even years from now. Not even the trailer.”

A month later, Netflix announced that Anderson’s doc was in the works and shared in a press release why it was important for the star to tell her story.
“Pamela Anderson is ready to tell her story in a new documentary,” the streaming service tweeted.
“The film, which has been several years in the making, will feature the pop culture icon setting the record straight as she looks back on her professional path and personal journey.”
A note from Anderson then read: “My life, a thousand imperfections, a million misperceptions … I can only surprise you – not a victim, but a survivor and alive to tell the true story. “

In addition to detailing her love story with Lee, 60, and four other ex-husbands, the “Barb Wire” star will also delve into the ups and downs of her career, including her recent Broadway debut in “Chicago”.
“I didn’t feel like I got a lot of respect,” Anderson says in the Netflix trailer. “I had to make a career out of scraps, but I’m not a damsel in distress. I put myself in crazy situations and (laughs) I survived.”

She ends by asking, “Why can’t we be the heroes of our own life story?” and then jokes, “Why don’t we do all the interviews naked? There is no mystery here.”
“Pamela, A Love Story” premieres January 31 on Netflix.
