Tommy Lee Claims Ungrateful Son Punched Him

Tommy Lee went public as a battered parent — claiming that his 21-year-old son Brandon knocked him unconscious, with the rock star ranting: "You can give your kids everything they could ever want in their entire lives, and they can still turn against you!”

Brandon — who's followed his mom Pamela Anderson into fame as a model — allegedly attacked his dad at home. “My fiancé and I were in bed," Tommy wrote, "when my son busted into the room and assaulted me. I asked him to leave the house and he knocked me unconscious. He ran away from the police. THAT’S the truth.”

Tommy later deleted the shocking photo — and Brandon has said that he acted in self-defense. Tommy's new fiancée came forward with her own comments, with Brittany Furlan writing: "Violence is NEVER the answer. No matter the situation. People need to learn to talk things out, not throw punches."

Tommy Lee has a long Hollywood history of trying to keep Brandon happy — with the former druggie getting embroiled in a vicious custody battle with Pamela when she was getting ready to marry Kid Rock in a very short-lived union. The National ENQUIRER also revealed how Brandon briefly had his hopes up for a reunion in 2007 before Tommy and Pam split again.
