“After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun,” Hulu’s new documentary series, details how Pamela Anderson was almost removed from “Baywatch” following the leak of an intimate video.
In 1996, actress Pamela Anderson and her ex-husband Tommy Lee had an intimate video leaked by Rand Gauthier, who claimed the couple had not paid a $20,000 electrician’s bill.
The video showed Pamela and Tommy together on their honeymoon between 1995 and 1996. The tape was stolen by Gauthier, who sold pirate copies online.
The incident nearly cost Pamela Anderson her role on “Baywatch.” “When Pam’s video came out, the studio said, ‘Look, take her out of some episodes, we need to figure out what to do with this, it’s a disaster,’” producer Michael Berk said.
However, the ratings for the subsequent episodes doubled.
After the scandal, Pamela Anderson wanted to distance herself from the memories that reminded her of this traumatic incident.
Pamela discussed the events in a Netflix documentary titled “Pamela: A Love Story.” She said she wanted to “take control of the narrative for the first time.”
“After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun” is available on Hulu.
