Tommy Lee has been in the headlines since he posted on social media last Wednesday, the 7th, saying he had been assaulted by his son Brandon Lee. There are two conflicting explanations for the incident: Brandon claims he acted in self-defense during an argument while his father was drunk. On the other hand, the Mötley Crüe says he was assaulted while in his room with his current fiancée.
Now, Pamela Anderson, Tommy's ex-wife and Brandon's mother, has spoken out about what happened. She said that Tommy is "a disaster out of control," and that she hopes he gets the treatment he needs. Read below parts of the actress's statement, published by TMZ .
"I haven't made any comments beyond that. Be careful with the gossip. This is a life-or-death situation. And I'm surrealistically calm—because I feel that justice is being done. I'm not devastated. I'm hopeful. This isn't new to us."
“I hope Tommy gets the treatment he needs. His actions are humiliating. He’s a disaster out of control. And he’s not acting like a father. But that’s nothing new.”
“We tried to protect him for a long time, hoping he would get better. I didn’t want to talk about it. But I felt it was necessary because Tommy decided to do things ‘Trump-style’ and post on social media without thinking twice.”
“I will not speak to Tommy again until he is sober. I am certain the world will see the truth. I am on my son’s side; he acted in self-defense and feared for his life.”
