Pamela Anderson’s son has revealed that he wishes his mother profited off her famous sex tape with ex-husband Tommy Lee.

Back in 1995, the former Playboy model and her ex-husband - who are the parents of Brandon and Dylan Jagger Lee - had a private tape stolen from a safe in their garage and then sold off by Rand Gauthier, who had been working on their house.

Their leaked footage became the world's first-ever viral video and was recently portrayed on TV in the Hulu series Pam & Tommy - in which Anderson said that the unauthorized retelling of her trauma left her feeling "violated," per ET online.

Now, the 55-year-old actress has opened up on her side of the story in the new Netflix documentary: Pamela, A Love Story, which dropped on the streaming giant on January 31.

Watch the trailer for Anderson's new documentary below: 

In the documentary, the Baywatch icon's children spoke about the impact the tape had on them, especially as kids.

According to The Sun, Brandon said: "When I was a kid, I always thought that everyone knew things about me and my family that they really shouldn't have known, and everyone had this dirty little secret about my family.

"I remember in school if anyone brought up my mum I would just fight. I was very quick to flush with anger," the 26-year-old added.

The outlet stated that her 25-year-old son Dylan also spoke about the video and disclosed that his mom decided not to make money off it because she wanted to put her loved ones first.

"Things would have been different if she had made money on that tape," Dylan reportedly said. "But people made millions of dollars and she was like ‘no’ because she 100 percent cared about her family being OK and me being OK.

"I wish she would have made the money. She would have made millions of dollars if she had just signed the paper," he added. "Instead she sat back with nothing and watched her career fizzle into thin air. She was in debt most of her life."

The Home Improvement actress also explained in the tell-all documentary that she would have never "monetized"  the stolen tape, not even for a billion dollars.

However, she did recall that one day after school Dylan was in tears asking "why did you do that tape?", and she responded: "Really, we didn’t make a sex tape."

"I wasn’t thinking when I was in Playboy that I was going to have kids soon and they would grow up and it would be embarrassing for them," Anderson said, per the publication.

"I always thought I’d tell them, age-appropriate, but I never got the chance. They found out before I could really talk to them about it. But a tape of your parents having sex is a whole new level," she added.

After the notorious video ended up being leaked on the internet without Anderson and the Mötley Crüe rocker's permission, she tried to sue IEG for publishing it but the couple ultimately entered into a confidential settlement agreement with the distribution company.

However, her tumultuous relationship with the now 60-year-old came to an end when Lee served six months in jail for kicking her while she was carrying their then seven-week-old son Dylan. She ended up divorcing him in 1998.

Her Netflix special as well as her memoir, Love, Pamela, are out now.
