"The burglary was a living nightmare. This burglary is the only thing in her life she would erase from her life. It haunts her to this day."

The source continued, "It was a violation having this tape taken. This was a very traumatic time in her life. And it's shocking that they are recreating it."

The insider said Anderson is owed an "apology" for how she was treated in the wake of the sex tape scandal and blasted the show for not respecting her privacy.

Friends of the actress also told People they fear she will be "retraumatised" by the series' premiere.

"After the tape was made public, it was a very traumatising situation and it's unfair that she is being re-subjected to this trauma, like re-opening a wound," a source told the publication.

One of the series' writers told Entertainment Weekly creators had reached out to Anderson before filming but didn't get a response.

Meanwhile, Lee expressed support for the series after he was contacted by actor Sebastian Stan and described it as a "cool story" that needed to be told.

"I know Sebastian, he's playing me. From what he's told me, it's a really beautiful story. I think a lot of people would think that it's one thing, but it's really about privacy and how things got crazy then and there's different laws now," the rocker said.

Alongside Stan, Lily James plays Anderson in the limited series, which follows the sex tape scandal which engulfed the famous 1990s celebrity couple.

Anderson and Lee married after a four-day whirlwind romance in 1995 and eventually split in 1998.

Executive producer Sue Naegle said of the production: "It also gives people a little bit of pause about the our relationship to tabloids and intimacy and privacy."
