The Tommy and Pam miniseries on Hulu, is so full of bullshit, it’s ridiculous!!!!

DID NOT HAPPEN … !!!” he added, referencing a scene where Lee walks into a studio before being alerted that the larger Studio A is being used by Third Eye Blind, and that the Crüe are demoted to Studio B.In a new interview, Third Eye Blind’s Stephan Jenkins confirmed that the scene was completely fabricated, saying: “Mötley Crüe and I’ve never been in the same studio.”Just my opinion! pic.twitter.com/RLHK07Wk7y— John Corabi (@Crablegs59) February 18, 2022“Apparently, HULU, and all involved in this crock of shit don’t care about how Pam may feel to have to relive this,” Corabi added.

The 74th Cannes Film Festival came to an end on Saturday night.
