  • Ryan White said Pamela Anderson was traumatized "for months" over Hulu's "Pam & Tommy."
  • The "Pamela, a Love Story" director told Insider he tried to "avoid" the show when filming with her.
  • "We made sure our crew knew never to bring it up," he said.

In the Netflix documentary on Pamela Anderson, "Pamela, a Love Story," we get a glimpse of the actor and model beyond the celebrity aura that made her one of the most famous people on the planet in the 1990s and 2000s.

But we also see how the star reacted in the lead-up to the airing of the Hulu series, "Pam & Tommy," which looked at the infamous sex tape between Anderson and then-husband Tommy Lee.

Like the initial bootleg release of the sex tape on VHS and online in the late 1990s, Anderson was furious about the series that would once more make her relive the experience.
