      Pamela deserves what she gives...which is a whole lotta authentic love, loyalty, faithfulness, joy, affection, honesty..
      Narcissists know what their doing, they know they want to control every aspect of your emotions and self, to make you self doubt your own self worth, intelligence and awareness, also to become weak and make them look stronger and better than they know themselves to be.
      For an emotionally intelligent person as Pamela, ..lies, dishonesty and betrayal can and will only build a weakened strong person to become a stronger brighter aura/energy, thru sensibilities and awareness!! KIA KAHA!!! ..smiles

      Bull135 all the time or 4bu53r5 all the time try to make the v1ct1m to take responsibility for their actions. I know because of my own experience.
      When I was younger and entered the workforce I was very bull13d by co workers or bosses. I never heard that this can happen I feelt very alone and had a strong need to speak about it, maybe that someone would tell me if this is common or what is happening?
      Well it only got worse when I opened my mouth about the 4bu53, people could tell me it has to be something wrong with me! This lead to years of 5uff3r1ng for me analysing if I really did something to deserve this. Did I really do something that triggered this response to me. I remeber I did not know how to get answers to my questions because I can't read minds of people, why they did this to me?
      After long process ot thinking about this and reading a self help book that supported my thoughts. I'm only responsible for my actions, not others. I can only control myself not others. I have to admit I'm scared of people and working.. I had many jobs most of them have been b4d. So I was going to enter a program for rehabillitating work, well it's work but less hours and you don't get really paid, unemployment benefits and a little sum every day.
      The man who were supposed to help me get this type of job in my city was also a v1ct1mbl4m3r. It was like a trial entering h15 office. Tried to bl4m35h1ft all the time, trying to make me take responsibility. Going through this before I stood my ground however I did not enter the program because I refused to see h1m again. 4bu53rs want you take responsibility so they can 35c4l4t3 the situation and also because if you believe their nonsense you will kind of h4rm yourself with your thoughts. I hope it makes sense. Never accept responsibility for what others choose to do!!!

Her biggest mistake was telling everyone, she was going to expose what she knew ( pillow talk ) or honey trap. She was rejected and a woman scorned. She should have kept her mouth shut !!!!!! At the end, her rejection finished her off. She had no one to blame, but herself.

Leave that industry alone and thank your lucky stars they don’t want you anymore! I’m so serious, if you ever had a friend they would tell you the real raw truth! I’m telling you as that friend that you obviously do not have. If you did then you would not have went this far, you would stop acting thirsty for attention from that industry. You should be GROSSED out especially KNOWING what “they” truly are and you KNOW exactly what I am saying. 👿
      You wrote your book, you made these videos. Enough is Enough already. Move on with your life Pam. Enjoy your kids, grandkids, you are a grandma be proud of that! If you miss doing things publicly, may I suggest the BEST thing that you could ever do? Seek The Lord Jesus Christ while HE can still be found. Time is short, I do not know where your faith is but I can assure you that you do not want left behind. If you want anyone to fill that hole in your heart, to fill that void in your life, it can only be ONE and His name is above ALL names Jesus Christ. I am telling you this as HIS beloved daughter. I am not perfect no one is but I serve a perfect GOD. You will feel a love like no other when you seek The Lord. I pray you do and that your life is changed, the old is gone let the new arrive in Jesus Christ Holy Powerful Name Amen and Amen. Something for you to soulfully search. Besides, the world does not care about you. They truly do not. Hollyweird makes you think that the world cares we do not care about them nor anyone in that evil demonic industry. Be happy that you are far away from them. I pray for you to have a relationship with Christ. Amen

    Another in depth look at a complex subject done sensitively. I was 13 when she posed in Playboy and unless you watched it happen in real time you can’t imagine the media coverage on her at the beginning of the internet age. Watching Hollywood’s treatment of her was very impactful for me as a young woman. The public didn’t want her to se sensitive, or insightful, or smart and kept trying to force her into a mold based on her appearance. Thank you for covering this topic so thoughtfully.

      There is a 3 month age difference between me and Pam. In real time....I always felt she looked as if she was walking around in a haze almost like a stupor, with all these men taking advantage of her. I never got that she was a bad person herself, just bad choices. I remembering hoping Kidd Rock would be good to her. He seemed like a better guy than Tommy. Apparently only a small improvement

I'm sure she had trouble asserting boundaries and they took complete advantage of that. She tried to handle it gracefully but that's not how these people work...

I am glad that Pamela seems to grow a little more with each year and slowly finding out the right path for herself and not ending like Anna Nicole. I did not know about the abusive father but that explains a lot about her choices in men, you either break the bad pattern or you try to fix the trauma by "fixing" someone else.

Her and her boys even took a class on how to save animals that were on the shore since they lived on the ocean. For Mother's Day, she would ask her boys to take her to art museums (as much for her boys to expand their minds as it was for her enjoyment). For her birthday, she would ask them to take her to feed the homeless. She used no ghost writers. She is brilliant and a beautiful soul with a painful past she works through daily using meditation, religion, and therapists.

    I’m watching this through the lens of 2023. It’s downright scary how bad things were. I know everyone thinks things are bad now but imagine living in a time when YOU, as a woman, didn’t even realize what you were experiencing was wrong.

      I went through the same experiences and I'm not alone, there are a million of us who have been molested then g r ed, r ed at parties, r ed by dates or people we thought were friends.
      I've been thrown on a table by a customer at Boston Pizza where I worked. Cook had to come out and rescue me. Things like getting touched or grabbed at are very familiar.
      I hope previous generations taught the boys how to take responsibility for their feelings. All I ever heard was how much I turned him on, when in reality I didn't do anything. Men have to be responsible for how they feel. It's not me doing anything to you, it's the thoughts in your own mind that are creating your feelings.

      Yes so far what I’ve come across Pamela nor Tommy wanted that tape out. How the tape was still able to be distributed without their consent is beyond me. They did file a lawsuit, but the depositions were so difficult for Pamela who was pregnant with their second child, they ultimately dropped the lawsuit.

    • @jayl0v3ly
      @jayl0v3ly Год назад

      @@betheecommentator I actually looked into this quite a bit and basically there just wasn’t a legal precedent for this kind of thing at the time. Theirs was truly the first celeb sex tape to be leaked on this level so they didn’t have any of the copyright laws and revenge porn protections that we have now. The rise of the internet was also what really made this so massive and so widely distributed. The guy who stole the tape didn’t have the funds to distribute it on his own and he didn’t want it to be traced back to him because he didn’t want to be held criminally liable, so he was reached out to distributers and eventually found one with mob ties who was shady enough to do loan him the money and resources to make the copies. They set up a website where people could purchase a VHS copy anonymously and they could mail out the copies without it being traced back to them. Eventually one of the illegal copies of the tape was purchased by Internet Entertainment Group’s founder Seth Warshavsky and he streamed it online for free to get more publicity and traffic to his porn site. This basically dried up the sales of the tape from the thief and he hadn’t even made enough to pay back the distribution loan, he made nothing off the tape and owed thousands to a shady distributor with mob ties (KARMA).
      Pam and Tommy were ultimately able to get his site taken down to stop the illegal sales of the tape but the judge denied their request to also have it removed from Seth’s porn site because since he wasn’t charging people for it, he was technically covered under the 1st amendment. Which is so sad and disappointing 🤦🏾‍♀️ That’s the lawsuit they ended up dropping.
      Seth then contacted Tommy and Pam to get them to sign away their rights so that he can charge people for it and they’d make money off it since it’s already out there. They basically told him to f*ck off. He kept trying and eventually he was able to convince them that if they sign away their rights, he will agree to stream it only once more to paying members and then that would be it. The alternative would be that he would continue streaming it for free and then even more people will see it. They just wanted it to be down so they figured they would just agree to the deal because it would limit the amount of people who saw it and then Seth would stop. They also didn’t take any money from Seth for the rights because Pam said she didn’t want any money from the tape and Tommy didn’t want people to think they’d consented to it.
      Unfortunately Seth went back on that agreement and because he now had the rights, he was able to distribute it to actual video stores where people could rent it. Pam and Tommy found out and took him back to court. The judge pretty much said they couldn’t do anything about Seth’s company distributing the tape for profit because Tommy and Pam had signed away their rights BUT they were entitled to a portion of the profits. Seth’s company was ordered to pay Tommy and Pam a combined 1.5 million for what he had earned after getting the rights… buuuuut then Seth filed for bankruptcy because apparently he was already in debt and the amount he owed Tommy and Pam pushed it over the edge 😤 His company went under before Tommy or Pam got a single penny of what they were owed. 😢
      To add insult to injury, because the court ordered the “company” to pay Pam and Tommy and not Seth personally, once the company went bankrupt, he wasn’t responsible for paying them the money. Seth was also able to sell the rights to Vivid Entertainment for 15 million, didn’t give any of that to Pam and Tommy, then ran away to Thailand
      Vivid (same company that released the Paris Hilton and Kim K tapes 😮‍💨) sadly continued to distribute the tape and made their money back 5 times over, while Tommy and Pam couldn’t do anything about it because Vivid had the rights.
      It’s honestly a sad miscarriage of justice and several disgusting men made a ridiculous amount of money off of someone else’s private intimate moments. 😢

      anyone whose been in a abusive relationship knows it’s way more complicated than choosing self respect or leaving a lesson. Your brain is trauma bonded to that person. It’s the same phenomenon as Stockholm syndrome. It’s how abuse impacts the brain. It makes you fall in love with your abuser because your brain uses it as a survival mechanism. There is fight flight freeze and fawn. Fawn is trying ti appease your abuser. I would highly suggest looking it up. I know this person didn’t mean to be invalidating. But abuse does something to the brain and that’s why ppl don’t understand why you can’t just leave. Combined with childhood trauma. She’s reenacting a childhood trauma which is a symptom of complex PTSD. She needed help and treatment more than to simply learn the lesson respect is better than love.

I think she focuses on the freedom of being an outdoorsy tomboy and sees it as a happy time in all of the darkness she’s blocking out.
