Mötley Crüe rockerTommy Leeand his 22-year-old son Brandon Lee didn’t set aside their tension forFather’s Day.
Months after an allegedphysical altercationbetween the two left the rocker with a bloody lip, Tommy shareda candid Instagram postin honor of the holiday including two photos: one of the musician with his own father and a throwback picture with one of his sons. (He and exPamela Andersonare also parents to son Dylan Jagger, 20.)
“Happy Father’s Day fellas! I’m not gonna sit here and post some fluffed up bulls— for the public to read…. I’m gonna be honest- Being a father ain’t easy!” he wrote. “I’m so tired of the fake s— I keep seeing all over IG… let’s get real: It’s a rollercoaster ok?”
The 55-year-old drummer claimed that he wanted to instill the respect for others and material possessions that his own dad taught him into his own children.
“Sometimes I feel like I failed as a father, because my kids don’t know the value of things,” he claimed. “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. I know I’m not fully to blame, because their mom has a lot to do with it, enabling bad behavior and buying them things when they weren’t good, but I guess I hoped at the end of the day they would end up kind.”

He added, “I love them dearly, don’t get me wrong, but man, sometimes it’s really tough to watch your kids grow up without those morals. Nothing can really prepare you for fatherhood …. I love my boys but they can be a——- too…and that’s the truth (Cue Honest Guy music).”
“Remember what happened last time you said this s—? 🤔 night night 😴” said Brandon. “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 should have showed up to a few more BDays and baseball games. Someone like you couldn’t raise a man like me.”
He continued, “Once again painting our family in a negative light. Who the f— are you? Just move on dude… WE ALL HAVE. ✌🏼or I’ll put you right back to f—— sleep 😴”
Brandon then posted a video that appeared to show Tommy passed out on the ground wearing just a black t-shirt and underwear.
“Look a little sleepy there Tommy. 😴” Brandon captioned the post.

On Monday afternoon, Brandon deleted the video of his father,posting a note in its placecaptioned, “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,” he wrote. “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.”
Brandon continued, “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— 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.”

One day after the alleged March scuffle between the father and son, Tommy posted (and quickly deleted) a selfie of his swollen lips on Instagram captioned, “My heart is broken. You can give your kids everything they could ever want in their entire lives and they can still turn against you. Good job Brandon. Great son!”
Representatives for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s office, who arrived on the scene shortly after the incident, previously told PEOPLE the pair had beenarguing about a series of disparaging tweets and photosLee had written about Anderson, following an interview where the 50-year-olddiscussed physical abuseshe claimed to have endured from her ex during their relationship.

Brandon released an exclusive statement to PEOPLE at the time of the fight, in which he claimed his father isbattling alcoholismand that he had worked “tirelessly organizing an intervention.”
Lee denied the allegations the same day, tweeting: “I’m happier than I’ve been in my entire life. I have a few drinks here & there because I’m f—in’ retired and enjoying my life. I worked 30+ f—in’ years I deserve it. You didn’t arrange any intervention, you barely spoke to me while u were here.”
In a lengthy statement titled “Alcoholism is the Devil” which was shared on her website, Anderson previously called her ex “a disaster spinning out of control,” adding that she stood “beside my son who acted out of self-defense and was scared for his life.”
