“After the tape was made public, it was a very traumatizing situation and it’s unfair that she is being re-subjected to this trauma, like re-opening a wound,” the source said. “Pamela deserves a level of respect. She’s a human being and a mom. There’s a sense of hypocrisy about it. It’s her life and she should have the decision [as to] whether it’s turned into a commodity for public consumption.”
Lily James, who portrays Anderson in the show, toldNet-a-Porter’sPorterin January that shetried reaching out to Andersonabout their project, though she didn’t get a response.
“I was really hopeful that she would be involved. I wish it had been different,” James, 32, said at the time. “My sole intention was to take care of the story and to play Pamela authentically. I was very hopeful that we would be in touch right up until we started filming.”
