A few months ago we talked about how Tommy Lee, known for his work with Mötley Crüe, does not relate very well to his son.
The drummer from one of the most influential hard rock bands of all time used social networks to say he had been punched in the face and fainted after the incident, and Brandon Lee, the son, said he only did it to defend the mother, Pamela Anderson, who had been insulted by Tommy.
Well, last June 17 was Father’s Day in the United States, and Tommy Lee thought it would be a good idea to make a post on Instagram talking about how his kids “don’t know the value of things”:
Read what he said and see the post below:
“Happy Father’s Day fellas! I’m not gonna sit here and post some fluffed up bullshit for the public to read…. I’m gonna be honest- Being a father ain’t easy! I’m so tired of the fake shit I keep seeing all over IG… let’s get real: It’s a rollercoaster ok? My father taught me to respect everyone and everything and to take care of those that I loved. He taught me to appreciate my possessions, and to be grateful for the things I was given.”
I’ve fucked up at times but I’ve always bounced back. When I had a child, my first child, I wanted to instill those same virtues into him. Sometimes I feel like I failed as a father, because my kids don’t know the value of things. If they break something, they don’t care because they know they’ll just get a new one, if they hurt someone, they don’t care because so many people tell them it’s OK. I never wanted this for my kids.”
“I know I’m not fully to blame, because their mom has a lot to do with it, enabling bad behavior and buying them things when they weren’t good, but I guess I hoped at the end of the day they would end up kind. I love them dearly, don’t get me wrong, but man, sometimes it’s really tough to watch your kids grow up without those morals. Nothing can really prepare you for fatherhood …. I love my boys but they can be assholes too…and that’s the truth (Cue Honest Guy music)”
Brandon responded not only with the text below but also with a video that shows just the fateful episode in which the two fought and ended with Tommy Lee unconscious on the floor of his room.
Read what he said:
Do you remember what happened the last time you said those shit? You have to be a Father, big one. If you think we are so bad (which I can guarantee we are not) then you should have gone to more birthday parties and taken us to more baseball games. Someone like you could never create a man like me. I am twice the man you will ever be.
Once again you are talking about our family in a negative way. Who the hell are you? Carry on, man … ALL OF US FOLLOWS. Or I’ll put you to sleep once more.
