However, viewers of Pamela, Love Story, who see former Baywatch star Pamela tell her story in her own words, have called the drama “exploitative” and “shady.”
Anderson recently called the drama “salt of the wound” and the maker “a hole.”
She added:
Fans of her Netflix documentary seemed to agree, with one tweeting: “Pamela, I just saw your love story. I instinctively knew that HULU because it clearly exploited her trauma.” I knew I wouldn’t watch the series.And after watching the documentary, I just think that.We as a society need to respect and care more for women.”

Someone else agreed: “Pamela, I think love stories are something everyone should watch. Especially those who watched the ‘Pam and Tommy’ hulu show. Especially when you read articles and interviews from the ’90s and think about her.” People who think they know…”
Another fan added, “I’m glad I never saw that Pam & Tommy movie.”
Someone else added:
Others were even more outspoken with their criticism, with one tweeting: “If I was involved in the Pam and Tommy series, I literally wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.
Another person criticized Pam and Tommy, saying, “I was always uncomfortable with Pam and Tommy’s hulu show, but now that I’ve seen the Pamela documentary, I realize how inspiring it is for her and her family.” I sincerely hope that everyone involved in that show will be burned, forever in hell.”
