They haven’t been together in nearly 30 years, but Tommy Lee still haunts unhinged Heather Locklear enough to drive her into rehab!

A source close to the crazy ’80s couple exclusively snitched to The National ENQUIRER that after seeing “The Dirt,” a movie about Tommy’s band, Mötley Crüe, Heather’s mind was so blown, she started hitting the bottle again!

The film, which was released March 22, included scenes about Heather and Tommy’s marriage — and it deeply disturbed the 57-year-old Melrose Place mess.

“The whole thing completely flipped her out and brought back a lot of memories. So she started boozing again,” said the source.

Even more bizarre, after seeing the film, Heather, who didn’t respond to The ENQUIRER’s request for comment, began to believe her ex was “following her,” according to the source. “She was convinced that Tommy was hiding in her house and watching her!” dished the insider.

As The ENQUIRER reported, Heather checked herself into rehab in April after the latest in a series of brawls with boyfriend Chris Heisser. She was released over Memorial Day weekend.

Heather and Chris, her high school sweetheart, have been an explosive combination since reuniting in 2017, and the Dynasty beauty found herself in a psych ward on Nov. 18, 2018.

As The ENQUIRER revealed, boozing pill-popper Heather hurled insults at cops before she was committed for a 72-hour stay — which was extended for another two weeks!

“She’s got enough on her plate with Chris,” a source said. “Seeing Tommy again — even in a movie — was more than enough to put her over the edge!”
