Former MÖTLEY CRÜE frontman John Corabi says Hulu’s “Pam & Tommy” limited series about Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson’s infamous leaked sex tape, is 98 percent fictional.
The “Pam & Tommy” limited series stars Sebastian Stan and Lily James as the titular couple, with Seth Rogen co-starring and producing the project with his partner Evan Goldberg. The series, which premiered on February 2, also stars Nick Offerman, Taylor Schilling, Andrew Dice Clay, Pepi Sonuga, Spencer Granese and Mozhan Marnò.
Yesterday, Corabi, who joined MÖTLEY CRÜE back in 1992 and fronted the band for five years before original singer Vince Neil returned to the fold, wrote on his social media: “Ok….just my opinion here on something that’s been bugging me. The Tommy And Pam miniseries on Hulu, is so full of bullshit, it’s ridiculous!!!! I can honestly say about 98% of this ‘FICITIONAL’ take on T&P’s life is CRIMINAL.
“I shared 5 years of my life with Tommy and although it was at times INSANITY it’s sooooo overblown in this SHIT they call TV entertainment! Tommy never walked around in a Speedo, didn’t act at all they way they portray him, and now I see that THIRD EYE BLIND ‘bumps’ us from a studio, because they’re more relevant???? DID NOT HAPPEN…!!!
“Apparently, HULU, and all involved in this crock of shit don’t care about how Pam may feel to have to relive this. Or how Tommy’s new wife may feel. Or how about Tommy’s boys seeing this completely overblown story about their parents!!!
“Shame on EVERYONE involved…” Corabi then included four middle finger emojis.
As for the infamous THIRD EYE BLIND scene, series executive producer Rob Siegel admitted to Variety that the incident involving MÖTLEY CRÜE being bumped out of the studio in favor of THIRD EYE BLIND never actually happened.
“I felt like [THIRD EYE BLIND] was the perfect band for the scene,” he said. “I did a little quick Google search. What label was MÖTLEY CRÜE on? Elektra. Who else was on Elektra? THIRD EYE BLIND. The timing was perfect. In 1996 they’re working on their debut album. So the scene is fictional, but I like to think it absolutely could have happened.”
THIRD EYE BLIND singer Stephan Jenkins also confirmed that he has never even met MÖTLEY CRÜE, saying: “MÖTLEY CRÜE and I’ve never been in the same studio. I recorded my whole first album in Northern California. So we were across the state from each other at the very least.”
“Pam & Tommy” was written by Siegel and DV DeVincentis and produced by Annapurna. Neither Tommy Lee or Pamela Anderson were involved in it’s production.
