Nearly 30 years later, a man involved in leaking Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee’s infamous tape shares his regret and reveals shocking details.
Pamela Anderson & Tommy Lee Tape Leaker Speaks Out Decades Later
Almost three decades after one of Hollywood’s most infamous scandals, a man tied to the distribution of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee’s stolen sex tape has spoken publicly for the first time.
Cort St. George, a former consultant for Internet Entertainment Group (IEG), appears in A&E’s new docuseries Secrets of Celebrity Sex Tapes, where he says he wants to clear his conscience.
“It Did So Much Damage in Their Life”
St. George admitted that the couple never profited from the tape.
“I know firsthand that Pamela and Tommy made not one dime off that video… They fought so hard against it and it did so much damage in their life.”
He added that he regrets being involved at all, claiming he was “in the wrong place at the right time.”
How the Tape Was Sold
The private video was recorded in 1995 during the couple’s trip to Lake Mead.
It was stolen from their home safe by disgruntled workers in 1996.
St. George said a friend showed him a copy, and he later sold it to IEG founder Seth Warshavsky for $10,000.
According to St. George, Warshavsky mainly wanted his signature on the deal “in case the blame landed somewhere.”
Pamela Anderson Felt Pressured
Pamela Anderson has long maintained she was forced to sign a contract with IEG under threats, while heavily pregnant at the time.
“The only reason we signed was because it was a week before I was due to give birth and they were making threats to me,” Anderson once said.
She later told CBS in 2023 that the leak devastated her:
“We were two crazy naked people in love. Those tapes were not meant for anybody else to see. I was a mother, and that saved me—otherwise I don’t think I would’ve survived.”
The Aftermath
Despite lawsuits and a 2001 judgment awarding both Anderson and Lee $740,000 each, they reportedly never received the money.
Warshavsky, once dubbed the “porn king of the internet,” died in 2023.
Meanwhile, the tape’s leak became a turning point in online adult content, paving the way for how celebrity scandals spread in the digital era.
