The trailer opens with Anderson discussing the sex tape that was the subject of the aforementioned Hulu series, as she explains "I blocked that sex tape out of my life in order to survive", and adding that she felt "sick" that it had re-entered the spotlight.
"I wanna take control of the narrative for the first time," she continues.
The trailer also includes footage from several interviews and clips of her being swarmed by paparazzi, while at one point she says in the voiceover: "I'm not the damsel in distress, I put myself in crazy situations... and survived them."
