Kerry Katona slams Pam and Tommy series for exploiting Pamela Anderson's pain

Kerry Katona has shown her support for Pamela Anderson after fans slammed the series based on her life, Pam and Tommy.

The Hulu show stars Lily James, 32, and Sebastian Stan, 39, in the titular roles, but has come under fire for the way it portrayed the former Baywatch star.

The much-hyped show about the theft of Pam and Tommy Lee's sex tape has been accused of "exploiting the exploited" with Pam saying she never gave her consent for the story to be told.

Mum-of-five Kerry, 41, met the blonde bombshell, 54, years ago and shared a pic of the pair with the caption:"Who’s watching Pam and Tommy?? Honestly love this woman!!

"Absolutely disgusting what they did to her!!! @pamelaanderson still look up to her today!!! Such a strong lady xxx."

Kerry, who once sported Pam's iconic red swimsuit after she shed a load of weight in 2017, was congratulated for her post.

One of her followers replied with a thumbs up, writing: "She’s not happy about the series . It’s exploiting the exploited. She’s doing her own documentary I’ll watch that instead."

After a source told The Sun that Pamela has "no intention of watching this God awful show", the star is now taking matter into her own hands.

The actress recently announced an “intimate” and “definitive” new documentary for Netflix.

Her statement on Instagram read: “My life. A thousand imperfections. A million misperceptions. Wicked, wild and lost. Nothing to live up to. I can only surprise you. Not a victim, but a survivor. And alive to tell the real story.”

The as-yet-untitled documentary will be directed by Ryan White, whose credits include Netflix docuseries The Keepers and 2010.

Pam and Tommy's son, Brandon Lee, will be among the producers and the show is said to feature exclusive access to the mum-of-two as well as to her diaries.

The Canadian actress married Motley Crue drummer Tommy only 96 hours after meeting him.

They have two sons together, Brandon, 25 and Dylan, 24.

The couple divorced in 1998 following their whirlwind romance, but have remained on good terms.

On Valentine's Day, 2019, Tommy married actress Brittany Furlan.

Pam, meanwhile has since been married to Kid Rock, Rick Salomon, and her bodyguard Dan Hayhurst in 2020.

In January it was reported that Pam and Dan had decided to call it quits and were heading for divorce.

The Mirror has approached Pamela Anderson's representatives for further comment.
