Tommy Lee went straight to social media following an incident that happened between him and his son Brandon (21). The former Mötley Crüe drummer described his version of the story on his Twitter account, stating how his son assaulted him and knocked him unconscious. Since then, Brandon gave an exclusive statement provided by his rep Teal Cannaday to People, claiming the fight was due to his father’s alleged alcohol addiction.
The statement reads:
“I’m devastated at the events of the last several days that have been a result of my father’s alcoholism. I’ve worked tirelessly organizing an intervention and it’s incredibly upsetting that it never came to fruition. I wanted my dad’s hopeful sobriety and recovery to be a private family matter but, as a result of his accusations on social media, I feel forced to speak out. I have and will continue to cooperate with law enforcement as needed. I love my father and just want to see him sober, happy and healthy.”
Lee used social media to publicly share his response to his son:
“LMAAAO!!!! I’m happier than I’ve been in my entire life. I have a few drinks here & there because I’m fuckin retired and enjoying my life. I worked 30+ fuckin years I deserve it. You didn’t arrange any intervention, you barely spoke to me while u were here. Just coverin ur ass!!”
