During the mid-’90s, Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson were two of the most well-known stars in Hollywood. Tommy, 58, is a founding member of rock band Mötley Crüe, and Pamela, 53, became a bona-fide star thanks to Baywatch. Now, a pivotal time in the former couple’s relationship is heading to the small screen. Lily James will star as the blonde bombshell with Sebastian Stan playing Tommy Lee in the Hulu series Pam & Tommy, following the stars’ legal battle over a leaked video of the couple being intimate. Before the series gets underway, here’s a refresher on the pair’s relationship.

Their Public Legal Battle
However, roughly two years after the contents of the video began circulating to tabloid outlets and more, a judge filed an injunction in 1997. Pam and Tommy were able to maintain ownership and sign the copyright for the video. They later signed it over in November 1997 to Seth Warshavsky, the founder of Club Love, to legally sell copies of their video.
Tommy and Pam, though, tried to sue Warshavsky for allegedly tricking them into signing over the video. Pam and Tommy were under the impression that the video would be made available for a one-time webcast. Club Love eventually folded.

End Of Marriage & Divorce
By May 1998 Tommy was sentenced to six months in Los Angeles County Jail for felony spousal battery, after pleading no contest. It was also stipulated that Tommy would have to undergo counseling, do 200 hours of community service, and pay $6,200 to a battered women’s shelter. If he violated his probation, Tommy could serve three years in prison, according to the Los Angeles Times.
At this point, Tommy and Pamela were completely over. After Tommy served his time and received the counseling he needed, the two put the focus back on their children. They were active in both of their sons lives, leading many to believe that there was potential for the two to eventually reconcile and get back together.
Post-Divorce Relationship
Although fans were under the impression that Tommy and Pamela would eventually resolve their relationship troubles and get back together, it never came to fruition. Both Tommy and Pamela have gone on to marry a number of times since their split.
