Pamela Anderson breaks silence on why she refused Lily James' letter amid feud
Pamela Anderson has revealed she refused to read a letter sent to her by Pam & Tommy star Lily James after disapproving of the Disney+ series.
The 55-year-old Baywatch star objected to her life story being used for the show, which explores how her sex tape with Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee was leaked.
Lily, 33, tried reaching out to Pamela before the series was released, saying she wanted nothing more than to honour the former glamour model, but Pamela wasn't impressed.
"It was already hurtful enough the first time," Pamela said in a new interview, referring to the tape being leaked. "It’s like one of those things where you’re going, 'Really? People are still capitalising off that thing?'"

Speaking to The Mirror recently, Lily said she wanted to do Pamela "justice".
"Feeling like you could ever possibly have the right to tell someone’s actual story is a confusing conversation and something I still think about with Pamela.
"I still hope and pray I did her justice. But with anything, you just have to trust your instincts and know your intentions are good in shaping a story."
