In March, Anderson announced the documentary by sharing a handwritten note, which read that she was not ‘a victim but a survivor’.
The note had Netflix letterhead with a red lipstick kiss mark at the bottom and read: “My life/ A thousand imperfections/ A million misperceptions/ Wicked, wild and lost/ Nothing to live up to/ I can only surprise you/ Not a victim, but a survivor / And I live to tell the true story,” the note read.
Brandon reposted Pam’s note to his Instagram story and put emphasis on emphasizing “the real story.”
