In 2018, Tommy Lee took to social media to accuse his son, Brandon Thomas Lee, of assaulting him. In a now-deleted post on Instagram (via ET), Lee posted a photo of his swollen lip with a caption that blamed his son for the injury. TMZ reported that Brandon had only defended himself, but Tommy Lee disagreed, writing on Twitter, "My fiancé and I were in bed when my son busted into the room and assaulted me. I asked him to leave the house and he knocked me unconscious."
People reported that the argument began over a tweet Lee had made about Brandon's mother, Pamela Anderson. In a statement with the outlet, Brandon Thomas claimed that his dad's drinking was to blame for the argument getting out of hand, saying, "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." Tommy Lee was not happy about his son's claim and vehemently denied he was an alcoholic on Twitter.
Pamela Anderson chimed in on the social media feud in a statement on her website in a post titled, "Alcoholism is the Devil." Siding with her son, she wrote, "I pray Tommy gets the help he needs. His actions are desperate and humiliating. He is a disaster spinning out of control and he is not acting like a father."
