Worst Father's Day Ever? Tommy Lee's Son Posts Video of KO'd Dad

Former Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee kicked off a Father's Day social media war of words with his son Brandon today, culminating with the younger Lee posting video of his apparently knocked-out father from the aftermath of their violent altercation this past March.

It was the elder Lee who first revealed that Brandon knocked him unconscious during a March 5 confrontation over Tommy's critical comments of his ex-wife (and Brandon's mother) Pamela Anderson's appearance on Piers Morgan's television show.

" (He) came in the room angry about my response to Pamela's relentless press about our old relationship, with his dukes up, telling me to get up and fight him," Lee explained in a statement. "When I stood up he pushed me into a wall. I didn't want to hit my son. I never have and I never will. If I wanted to clock him I would have knocked him on his ass. He had no problem knocking me out. I asked him to leave and he spun around and sucker punched me. Knocked me unconscious."

However, Lee apparently would not co-operate in the legal case against his son, which led the Los Angeles County District Attorney to decide not to prosecute Brandon. At the time Lee said Anderson had "poisoned" his sons against him. "I want them to get jobs, stable jobs, consistent jobs, not their inconsistent modeling and acting work here and there that doesn't make enough money for them to survive. I want them to learn what it takes to take care of yourself."
