The four-part docuseries, slated to examine the cultural impact of the popular show, which ran for 11 seasons between 1989 and 2001, looked set to include interviews with original Baywatch castmembers like Nicole Eggert, Carmen Electra, and, of course, Pamela Anderson, who played CJ.
But now, in a new interview with Glamour Magazine as their Woman of the Year, Pamela emphasized that she had no direct involvement in the project, which premiered on Hulu in August.
Despite being featured in the trailer for After Baywatch, Pamela clarified that the “never before seen” clips of her used in the docuseries were old and had been “dug up” by the creators.
Pamela also revealed that the people behind the docuseries went to great lengths to get her to contribute—even going as far as contacting her sons, Brandon Thomas Lee and Dylan Jagger Lee, and promising them “producer credits” on the show.
Of course, this isn’t the first time Pamela’s life has played out on a Hulu series. In 2022, the streamer released Pam & Tommy, which chronicled the theft and illegal distribution of her and Tommy Lee’s infamous sex tape in the 1990s.
Pamela has previously expressed that she disapproved of the series and never signed off on its production. While speaking to Glamour, the 57-year-old looked back on the pain of Pam & Tommy, saying, “It hit me a lot harder than I even imagined.”
With all that in mind, Pamela made it clear that she’s focused firmly on the future and has no interest in revisiting her past.
