Ex-Mötley Crüe Singer Blasts “Pam & Tommy” Series

Ex-Mötley Crüe Singer Blasts “Pam & Tommy” Series

Former Mötley Crüe singer John Corabi fronted the band from 1992 to 1996 singing and playing guitar on the group’s highly underrated and often celebrated self-titled album. A rock ’n’ roll journeyman, Corabi has played for Ratt, Brides of Destruction and The Dead Dasies in addition to his solo work. Recently, the singer blasted the new “Pam & Tommy” series on Hulu about drummer Tommy Lee and “Baywatch” star Pamela Anderson’s leaked sex tape. 

“Ok….just my opinion here on something that’s been bugging me. The Tommy And Pam miniseries on Hulu, is so full of bullsh*t, 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 SH*T 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…!!! “Shame on EVERYONE involved…” Corabi ended his message by including four middle finger emojis.

“Pam & Tommy” features Sebastian Stan and Lily James in the title roles. Seth Rogan stars as the man who stole the tape, and the show also features appearances by Nick Offerman and Andrew Dice Clay.  The show’s producer, Rob Siegal, admitted that the Third Eye Blind story is fictitious. “I felt like (Third Eye Blind) was the perfect band for the scene,” he told Variety. “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 confirmed that he has never met the members of Mötley Crüe, telling Variety: “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.”
