The 55-year-old Motley Crue drummer and Brandon got embroiled in a social media spat on Father's Day (17.06.18) after the musician questioned why he wasn't able to instill the same values in his 22-year-old son and his 20-year-old brother Brandon - his kids with ex-wife Pamela Anderson - in a frank Instagram post.
Brandon responded by reminding his famous father that he knocked him unconscious back in March the last time they rowed, illustrated with a video showing his dad passed out on the ground wearing just a black T-shirt and underwear, and accusing him of being absent for a lot his kids' upbringing.
Tommy has now logged on to Instagram again to accuse Brandon of having a problem with substance abuse which he sought help for and confirming he was knocked out in the fight with his son.
He posted the message: "Rehab for son: $130,000, Party for son's 21st birthday last year: $40,000, Medical Bills after son knocks his father unconscious and uses 'alcoholism' as scapegoat: $10,000, Son acting like a victim on social media on
father's day: Priceless. I'm out [mic] drop!"
On Monday (18.06.18), Brandon deleted the posted video of Tommy knocked out, but uploaded a note in its place telling his dad to stop hurling insults on the internet and instead speak to him face-to-face.
The note read: ""Sorry for the noise everyone. Hopefully this is the end.
"Tommy. If you want to bad mouth me, do it to my face. You post something for the world to see, saying that I'm a bad kid and my mom is a bad mother, what do you expect? Seriously, who's the fkn adult here? How would you even know if I'm a bad kid, you're not even around enough to know what kind of a person I am. I understand that your feelings must be hurt still about how things went down. But please stop posting all of this on social media, it's making us all act like kids. Let's just drop it dude.
"You're mad I didn't say Happy Father's Day to you?? So what?! My birthday was on June 5th motherf***er ... I didn't hear s**t from you ... and I didn't go telling the world what a let down you are. Come on man. It's time to move on. Let's keep this private. [sic]"
