Amanda Chicago Lewis is a freelance journalist and magazine writer. Previously, Chicago Lewis has been a producer on documentaries for MTV and CNN. She wrote a column for Rolling Stone, and before that, she was a national reporter at BuzzFeed News. Chicago Lewis's work has appeared in GQ, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, WIRED, The Verge, California Sunday, POLITICO magazine, The New Republic, The Guardian, The Awl, and the LA Weekly. She has appeared on NPR’s "All Things Considered," KCRW's "Good Food," NPR's "1A," KPCC’s "Air Talk with Larry Mantle," and Viceland’s "Bong Appetit." In 2014, I tracked down the guy that stole the Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee sex tape from their house, proving for the first time the tape had not been released by the couple as a PR stunt. The Hulu series “Pam and Tommy” is based on my article. This one time I was on TV in Japan. When they cut back to the studio, the news anchor said he thought I looked like Cher.
