Tommy Lee is among the most searched artists on Google in the United States in 2022, and there's no shortage of reasons for that. The Year in Search shows the most searched terms in various categories, and you can filter the results by country.
The first explanation for this popularity that comes to mind might be the fact that Mötley Crüe toured with Def Leppard . However, it's much more curious and personal. It turns out that in mid-August, the drummer shared a photo of himself in full frontal nudity on Instagram with the caption "Ooooopppsss". The explicit image was quickly taken down by the social network, but it was too late.
If the viewer was surprised, his wife, Brittany Furlan Lee , had a similar reaction, leaving a "Oh my God" in the comments of the post.
The Google Trends graph at the end of this article reveals exactly the huge spike in searches for Tommy Lee in August. However, the musician didn't stop there. From then on, he created an OnlyFans account, broke his ribs , released a disturbing music video for the track " Bouncy Castle ," threw ribs into the audience at a show, and even pulled a dog out of his pants during a performance.
The peak in February was due to the release of the miniseries Pam & Tommy , which tells the story of Lee and actress Pamela Anderson's during the leak of intimate videos. The series had such a great impact that countless people were inspired by the couple to dress up for Halloween, as was the case with Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox .
All of this earned the Mötley Crüe member sixth place in the Top 10. First place went to Adam Levine , lead singer of Maroon 5, after the cheating scandals. Foo Fighters also came in last on the list following the death of Taylor Hawkins .
