Your support makes all the difference.The son of Tommy Lee has shared a video which shows the Mötley Crüe drummer lying on the ground, apparently unconscious, following a fight which reportedly took place in March this year.
Brandon Lee, the son of Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson, posted the video in response to a Father's Day post on the drummer's Instagram page.
"Being a father ain't easy," Lee wrote beneath a photo of him with his own father. "I'm so tired of the fake s**t I keep seeing all over IG... let's get real: it's a rollercoaster ok?"
He added: "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 f**ked up at times but I've always bounced back.
"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."
21-year-old Brandon quickly responded to the post and appeared to allude to a physical altercation between the two earlier this year.
"Remember what happened last time you said this s**t? Night night," he wrote.
"You gotta show up to be a Dad big guy. If you think we're so bad (which I can assure you we are not) then you could have showed up to a few more BDays and baseball games. Someone like you couldn't raise a man like me."
He then shared the video which appeared to show Lee lying unconscious on the floor with the caption: "Looking a little sleepy there Tommy."
The pair were involved in an altercation in March where Brandon allegedly punched Lee at their Calabas property in Las Angeles. Brandon blamed the incident on his father's drinking problem, which Lee denied on social media.
