It looks clear whose side 21-year-old Brandon Lee is on when it comes to his famously divorced parents, Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson.
Sources close to Brandon told TMZ that Brandon was sticking up for his mom when he and his father started brawling at the Motley Crue drummer’s Calabasas home Monday night.
Lee, 55, had criticized Brandon’s mother on Twitter, days after the former “Baywatch” star was interviewed by Piers Morgan and brought up Lee’s 1998 arrest for spousal battery.
Lee wasn’t happy that his ex-wife revisited her domestic violence claims, which resulted in Lee serving six months in jail, Page Six said. His arrest came at the end of their tumultuous three-year marriage. The two are parents of another son, Dylan, and briefly reconciled in the mid-2000s.
Lee tweeted: “Think she’d find something new to discuss instead of rehashing old (expletive) but I guess she has nothing else going on & needs attention.” He then wrote, “Signed, ‘The abuser’ (who she texts everyday & asks for me back)”

That tweet precipitated a heated argument between Lee and his son, a model who does runaway shows for Dolce & Gabbana and other designers and who lives part-time with his father in order to help him overcome his alcohol problems, TMZ said.
According to TMZ,m Lee was drunk when the fight broke out. The rocker reportedly lunged at Brandon, and the young man was defending himself, sources close to the young man told TMZ.
But Lee disputed the claim that he started the fight. In a tweet, he said his son “busted” into his bedroom where Lee and his fiancee were in bed.
“My son busted into the room and assaulted me,” Lee tweeted. “I asked him to leave the house and he knocked me unconscious. He ran away from the police. THAT’S the truth.”
TMZ said Lee went to the hospital. The rocker also posted a photo of himself — which he later deleted — showing himself with a bloodied, swollen lip, according to the Daily News. Lee captioned the photo: “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.”
TMZ said Lee wants to press charges against his son. Police responded to Lee’s home to take a report. So far there have been no arrests, TMZ said.
Before he wed Anderson in 1995, Lee was married to troubled star Heather Locklear, who has had her own history of run-ins with the law and substance abuse issues. She was arrested last week on suspicion of felony domestic violence involving her live-in boyfriend.
