Courtney Love slams new Pamela Anderson series and its star Lily James: 'Whoever the f--- she is'

• Lily James and Sebastian Stan are playing Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee in a new TV series.
• Anderson's friend Courtney Love took to Facebook to call the series "disgusting."
• Love said that the show exploits the invasion of privacy of Anderson and Lee's leaked sex tape.

Courtney Love blasted the upcoming Hulu TV series "Pam & Tommy," which stars Lily James as Pamela Anderson and Sebastian Stan as Tommy Lee.

The series will explore how the two married in 1995 after a whirlwind romance and had their sex tape stolen and leaked in the famous scandal.

In a now-deleted Facebook post, Love called the series "disgusting" and accused it of exploiting the invasion of privacy that "destroyed my friend Pamela's life," according to Entertainment Weekly.

"I find this so f---ing outrageous," Love wrote, explaining that when the sex tape was released, she was making a record in LA.

"Where all / ALL! The staff engineers/producers/owners / were watching the sex tape with huge schadenfreude ... Guffaws, it was disgusting. I banned anyone discussing it," Love wrote.

"We tried to make light of it. But that was a disaster too ... because it's a form of sexual assault, isn't it? It caused massive trauma to her, her family, her community. Her finances," the singer continued.

Love wrote that she was actually contacted by the series' production company, who asked for her permission to use her 1994 Rolling Stone cover, shot by photographer Mark Seliger.

"I said f--- no," Love wrote, before signing off the lengthy post with a dig at star Lily James:

"And shame on Lily James whoever the f--- she is."

The series has already received attention for the photos released of James and Stan in character as the "Baywatch" actress and Mötley Crüe frontman.

Both James and Stan have been posting photos to their Instagram, too. Stan posted a photo on May 8 with the following quote from Lee: "We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing."

Meanwhile, James posted her own photo and quote from Anderson on the day before, May 7: "It's great to be blonde. With low expectations it's very easy to surprise people."

Anderson and Lee married in 1995 just four days after they first met. They went on to shoot their famous sex tape on their honeymoon. The tape was then stolen from their home by electrician Rand Gauthier, who is played by Seth Rogen in the series. The company Internet Entertainment Group later sold it online.

In 1998, the year they divorced, Anderson and Lee won a copyright infringement suit against the company.

Nick Offerman, Taylor Schilling, and Andrew Dice Clay will all also feature in the eight-episode series, which is set to start filming later this year.
