Pam & Tommy Show & Relationship Timeline Explained

While many of the events portrayed in Pam & Tommy are surprisingly accurate, there are a few notable differences between Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee's real-life relationship timeline and that of their fictional counterparts in the Hulu series. Telling the story of Anderson and Lee's whirlwind '90s romance and the public scrutiny following the leak of their private sex tape, Pam & Tommy does not take a chronological approach to its narrative, but rather zips back and forth through the histories of its characters. The couple is not featured prominently in the first episode, which focuses mostly on Seth Rogen's Rand Gauthier. However, Pam and Tommy take center stage in episode 2, with the majority of the episode being devoted to the incredible circumstances under which they met and quickly got married.

Pamela Anderson's role on the popular TV show Baywatch combined with the rock stardom of Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee made the couple extraordinarily famous. They were constantly plagued by paparazzi and the public dissection of their private lives. Matters were made exponentially worse when spurned electrician Rand Gauthier stole their property and distributed the couples' sex tape far and wide. Becoming one of the first viral videos of the early internet era, Anderson and Lee were powerless to stop millions of eyes from invasively prying into private moments of their marriage. They were also relentlessly mocked in the media, illustrated in Pam & Tommy with a recreated Jay Leno interview.
