It'll be about the theft of her sex tape she made with Tommy Lee (played in the series by Sebastian Stan). For those that don't recall what happened:
"...Here's how the heist allegedly went down. According to reports, a disgruntled electrician named Rand Gauthier stole the sex tape after getting fired. He'd hoped to collect his tools, but claims that Tommy Lee pointed a shotgun at him and told him to leave the property. Months later, he returned and stole a safe containing the infamous sex tape, which was made aboard a houseboat during a summer excursion to Lake Mead. Lee believed that Gauthier had an accomplice, but that's besides the point. Gauthier had a background in porn and still swam in those social circles, so he teamed up with a friend named Milton Ingley to make a bunch of copies and sell them online for nearly $60 dollars by mail. For months, Pam and Tommy didn't even know their safe was missing, and by the time they discovered what was circulating online and filed a $10 million lawsuit to prevent anyone from profiting from the tape, Penthouse had already published a detailed account of its contents. They just couldn't publish any images taken from the footage, since it was considered intellectual property for which the couple still held the copyright. In November 1997, two years after the original footage was stolen, Pam and Tomy signed the copyright over to Club Love founder Seth Warshavsky, who later cut a deal with Vivid Entertainment to legally sell physical copies of the movie on DVD, VHS and yes, wait for CD-ROM. The sex tape made Warshavsky a ton of money, and eventually Pam and Tommy sued him for more profits in federal court, where his company Internet Entertainment Group was ordered to pay them $740,000 each. However, the company had long since folded, so neither Pam nor Tommy were paid beyond the initial deal. Shortly thereafter, plans were announced regarding the release of an earlier sex tape that Anderson had made with Poison singer Bret Michaels, though he successfully sued to block its release. You can still find snippets on the internet, not that we're encouraging you to go down that particular rabbit hole."
