10 Biggest WTF Moments In '90s Rock Music
4. Pam & Tommy’s Sex Tape
In a move that has baffled sociologists for decades, Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee married actor Pamela Anderson in February 1995.
This would have been list-worthy on its own, but it's what happened next that really pushes this story into the weird stratosphere.
In 1997, a video featuring Lee and Anderson turned up on the Internet. What were they doing in this video? Practicing one of Tommy's songs? Reading through Pam's next big part?
Well, a "big part" was involved, that's for sure.
Of course, this was a sex tape.
It had been filmed by the couple on a houseboat in Arizona and had quickly captured the world's attention upon its public release. We should point out that the tape was released without the consent of either party, making it one of the earliest and most high profile leaked sex tapes in history.
The video has gained infamy in the years since its release and was thrust (ha) back into public conscious with the release of the miniseries Pam & Tommy in 2022.
This must have been a dreadful ordeal for all involved, but it remains one of the most shocking pop culture moments of the entire decade.
