In the latest episode, we see the couple dealing with the tragedy, but the drama unfolds when Tommy Lee attends a media event and gets into a fight after someone brings up the sex tape. The drummer is stunned by the fact that so many people have already seen the tape and is annoyed that the tape is reaching more and more people. The media always looks out for such instances and makes them go viral. That’s what happened when Tommy got into a fight. The media covered the brawl extensively and made the couple even more newsworthy.
On the other hand, Pamela is dealing with a loss that only a mother can understand. Losing a child is the most pathetic thing ever and she is finding it hard to deal with the upsetting news. However, the couple receives another shocking news that the popular adult magazine, Penthouse, has a copy of the sex tape and will be publishing some frames from it.
The couple gets really furious but doesn’t know how to stop the magazine. Trying to once again “handle” the situation, Tommy decides to sue the publication. Meanwhile, Pamela meets a team of lawyers and tries to suppress the matter. She wanted that the case should not be publicized, but the lawyers think otherwise. The case gathers steam when every media outlet writes about the case and the sex tape. That’s when they realise it was a bad decision to file a lawsuit. The rift between the couple grows bigger when Jay Leno jokes about them and the sex tape.
The ending moments of the episode see Pamela Anderson receiving a court order that not only confuses her but also makes her feel embarrassed. So, the court order is actually a summon for the lawsuit that the couple has filed on Penthouse Magazine. The confusing thing about the court order is that only Pamela has been summoned to make a formal statement. Pamela is really frustrated and asks why Tommy hasn’t been called for a statement? Tommy gets really angry and says that plaintiffs shouldn’t be summoned.
The ‘Baywatch’ star is now in the most difficult phase of her life where she is already dealing with a lot of humiliation because of the sex tape and now, she is the one who has to come out and share things about her private life in front of strangers.
The final moments made us believe that even though the case was filed by Tommy, it was Pamela who was facing the heat. Once again, it was a woman who had to face the terrifying ordeal because of the ego of a man.
