Tommy Lee's Marriage to Brittany Furlan Ends as The Rocker Struggles With Sobriety and His Bond With Pamela Anderson
Hard-living rocker Tommy Lee's obsession with ex-wife Pamela Anderson and addiction demons derailed his six-year marriage to Brittany Furlan, an insider says.
A source says the Mötley Crüe drummer, 62, always looked at Pam, 57, as the 'one who got away,' and Brittany, 38, was fed up.
Tommy and the actress/influencer, who met in 2017 and married two years later, separated a few weeks ago.
'He's drinking again, which is not good, but the other big issue was that he's never fully gotten over Pam,' the source says. 'It's caused trouble with every relationship he's had since they broke up.'
As readers know, Tommy and the former Baywatch babe were married from 1995 to 1998, during which time they welcomed two sons, Brandon and Dylan, and weathered a sex tape scandal.
Ever since, Tommy has had a permanent scar that no other woman could heal, our source says.
Still, he swore to Brittany that he had no interest in getting back together with the Last Showgirl star. 'But then whenever he was in a bad mood, he'd say things to stir up jealousy,' says the source.
Making things worse, Pam accused Brittany of enabling Tommy's drinking again — the stickman once revealed that he used to drink two gallons of vodka a day but got sober in 2022 — and being a bad influence on him.
'Brittany is really sweet and tried so hard to make friends with Pam, but then Pam accused her of keeping Tommy 'drunk,'' says our source. 'That was such a punch in the gut.'
'Pam tried to make up for it a couple of years ago by saying a bunch of nice things about Brittany in interviews, but the damage was done.'
Adds the insider, 'Pam never wanted Tommy back, but she came between him and Brittany just the same and the feeling is she wrecked the relationship.'

27 Highly Rated Swimsuits You Can Buy On Amazon
A ruffled one-piece swimsuit with lace-up detailing on the back that also helps you adjust the fit for comfort. The bottom cut is a tad cheeky, but many reviewers say it doesn't ride up. A chic bandeau and high-cut bottoms that'll have you feeling like a guest vacationing at the White Lotus — but don't worry, you're just a background character soaking up all the tropical vibes (and not at risk of murder). A fully lined one-piece swimsuit with hollowed-out straps giving it a unique look. The crossover straps offer plenty of support up top, with wire-free removable bra cups that won't poke you in the side, plus full coverage in the bottom. A plunging scoop one-piece offering a simple, classic design fit for any swim-related occasion. FYI, it's high-cut and cheeky, but feels comfortably secure without being suffocating. A bikini set that includes a super cute flouncy top that's not tight or constricting on your chest (yay, adjustable straps!) and high-waisted bottoms that stretch comfortably. A ruched swimdress hiding comfy boyshorts underneath so you're not constantly pulling your suit down to cover your bottom. It'll be our little secret! Or a vintage-inspired swim dress with a cute bow at the center and a slightly more flared fit that gives a nice silhouette without the tight hug at your stomach. It also has shorts underneath! A high-waisted bikini if you're looking for bottoms that come up a bit higher and hug your waist — the thicker, adjustable straps also add to this swimsuit's supportive feel. And both pieces have this gorgeous patterned band tying the whole look together! A bustier-style bikini top with a long-line underwire design that lifts and supports, complete with adjustable, double G-hook straps at the back to lock everything in. It comes in bright colors and darling patterns like cherries and polka dots — a true stunner of a top you can pair with any bottoms. A deeeep-V one-piece if you're not afraid of a little (OK, a lot) of side boob and are ready for your cheeks to get some sun. You're ready for your Baywatch debut! A playful ruffled top bikini that comes with removable adjustable straps, so you have the choice between rocking a truly off-shoulder look or adding in some extra support. Or a ruffle-topped one-piece, also with removable adjustable straps so you have ~options~, though many reviewers say the top stays up just fine without them (depending on your bust size)! A one-shoulder option that's basically begging you to pair it with a flowy maxi skirt and wear it to brunch — the ruffled style is just too cute! A funky layered tankini for breathable stomach coverage with a cute side view of the bra underneath. Perfect for water sports *or* chasing kiddos around the beach, this tankini has a non-underwire bra and a fitted band that holds the bottoms in place. A sporty colorblock bikini that's as bold and vibrant as your personality — and perfect for playing some volleyball or throwing a Frisbee on the beach.

A push-up bikini top with underwire support, molded cups, and crisscross strappy back that'll keep you feeling totally supported up top, even while zipping across the water on a Jet Ski. A high-waisted bikini set that doesn't require you to be on a boat off the coast of Bali, sipping on a fruity cocktail while posing for photos — but I'm just saying it would be right at home in that scenario. A ruched monokini with a high neck and peekaboo mesh neckline that's both sexy and supportive — reviewers say it holds everything in place well despite the lack of underwire! A flouncy swim skort that turns your favorite one-piece or bikini top into an adorable outfit you'd be tempted to throw on just to do chores or run errands. The built-in shorts help prevent any painful thigh rubbing while keeping you comfortably covered, if that's what you're looking for. Simple twist-front bottoms made to go with any swim top in your closet, especially for those of us who rock a very different size in bottoms than we do in tops. They're stretchy, a bit cheeky, and will stay firmly in place after that cannonball into the pool. A pair of stretchy drawstring boardshorts you can pull on for a day of swimming and lounging by the water. They dry fast, so you don't even have to change clothes afterward if you're heading elsewhere, and underwear liner is built-in (so you can go commando). Reviewers say they stay put without riding up or squeezing your thighs uncomfortably, even if you have curves! A high-waisted retro number that'll have you feeling like a modern-day Wonder Woman — if she ever took a break from fighting baddies to relax on the beach with a margarita, that is. A V-neck one-piece with cinching at the bust that lets you decide how ~risqué~ you wanna be and a fun cutout underneath — just don't forget to apply sunscreen there! And a scoop-neck monokini giving the illusion of being a two-piece from the front, with lace-up detailing adding some flair in the back. A high-waisted bikini that includes a ruffled smock top you'll *definitely* want to pull out and wear with some denim cutoffs too — it's basically just a cute crop top that happens to be built for water, complete with adjustable straps!

My Favorite Film Is a Historical Drama Packed With Modern Themes. It's Free to Stream Now
I can count on one hand the number of times I've finished watching a film for the first time and immediately turned around to rewatch it. And there's only one film that I wish I could erase from my memory simply to watch it again for the first time. That film is Céline Sciamma's 2019 film Portrait of a Lady on Fire. A visually stunning film that reimagines a timeless love story, Portrait of a Lady on Fire is brimming with slow-burn passion, classical references, relevant and modern themes with breathtaking cinematography to boot. I first saw the movie as an undergraduate film student at UNC Chapel Hill and have since watched the film at least a dozen times, each resonating as strongly as the first watch. So I can't help but evangelize the film -- especially when it's free to watch on Kanopy. The movie is also available on Max -- one of CNET's picks for best streaming service -- with a paid subscription or available to rent on Prime Video, but the easiest option is to watch free right now on Kanopy with your public library login or university ID credentials. Almost every scene in Portrait of a Lady on Fire looks like a masterpiece painting. Lilies Films/Hold-Up Films/Arte France Cinéma Set in 1770 Brittany, in northern France, Portrait of a Lady on Fire tells the story of Marianne, a middle-class painter commissioned by a countess to paint the wedding portrait of her daughter, Héloïse, a young woman forced to leave the convent to enter an arranged marriage with a Milanese nobleman. Opposing the marriage, Héloïse refuses to sit for any portrait, which would guarantee her marriage, so Marianne must produce the portrait in secret. Having already exhausted other painters, the Countess instructs Marianne to act as Héloïse's companion, accompanying her day to day while silently memorizing her features to paint in secret. Through these meetings, the two women form a friendship and eventually a romance that transcends boundaries of class and sexuality. Tragically, Marianne is forced to create the one object that will ensure the end of her blossoming relationship with Héloïse. Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel deliver engrossing and elegant performances. Lilies Films/Hold-Up Films/Arte France Cinéma Starring Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel, accompanied by an almost entirely female cast, the film is a powerfully acted LGBTQ+ romance that studies power, memory, passion and desire through the eyes of women. Despite its 18th century setting, the film unflinchingly examines modern themes of gender, class, sexuality and reproductive rights -- all of which suffocate under a repressive patriarchal society, yet flourish when those strict confines are removed. Noted as a feminist film that banishes the male gaze, reinterprets the classic Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, and subverts expectations of the master/muse relationship, Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a rare feminist triumph. With its nuanced themes, exquisite cinematography and emotionally resonant performances, it's a beautifully moving film and you're sure to have a profound and unforgettable cinematic experience. Or, if you're like me, you'll just sob in front of a theater full of strangers and not even care. Either way, you're in for a treat. (And while you're at it, I will probably be watching it for the umpteenth time.) Portrait of a Lady on Fire won the Queer Palm at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival. Lilies Films/Hold-Up Films/Arte France Cinéma Portrait of a Lady on Fire was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival. The film lost that top honor to Bong Joon-ho's Parasite, but won the Queer Palm, becoming the first film directed by a woman to win the award. Sciamma also won the award for Best Screenplay at Cannes in 2019. Portrait of a Lady on Fire is just one of our CNET experts' favorite movies that's available to stream now.
