Here's why Brandon Lee won't be prosecuted for his brawl with father Tommy Lee
The family fight between Tommy Lee and son Brandon Thomas Lee is over, at least officially.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office confirmed Monday that it had declined to file charges against Brandon, the 21-year-old son of the former Mötley Crüe drummer and actress Pamela Anderson, for an altercation last month, due to “victim unavailability.” TMZ was the first to report the news.
On March 5, the L.A. County Sheriff’s Office responded to an incident at Tommy’s Calabasas, Calif., home. Tommy was taken to the hospital and explained his version of events on social media.
Hey @TMZ maybe get your facts straight before you go reporting bullshit. My fiancé and I were in bed 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.

Their confrontation happened the same night that Tommy sent angry tweets about an interview his ex-wife had done with Piers Morgan that aired two nights earlier. The sit-down referenced a 1998 domestic dispute in which Pamela was assaulted by Tommy while she was holding Brandon’s baby brother, Dylan, in front of Brandon. Tommy pleaded no contest to charges and served six months in jail.
@piersmorgan ur interviews w/ Donald Trump & my ex-wife are pathetic! Think she’d find something new to discuss instead of rehashing old shit but I guess she has nothing else going on & needs attention ♂️

For his part, Brandon said he was acting in self-defense because his dad was drunk. He alleged the entire incident had been brought on by his father’s alcoholism, something Tommy denied.
LMAAAO!!!! I’m happier than I’ve been in my entire life. I have a few drinks here & there because I’m fuckin retired and enjoying my life. I worked 30+ fuckin years I deserve it. You didn’t arrange any intervention, you barely spoke to me while u were here. Just coverin ur ass!! https://t.co/gYHHDX9R5E

Brandon’s Baywatch mom supported her son in a March blog post. She said Brandon had “punched [Tommy] in the nose for all of us who he has hurt — Now Tommy feels humiliated — and is attempting to destroy his own son.”
However, Tommy gave Brandon a break today.
