Tommy Lee has issued an apology to both Alicia Keys and MTV for becoming involved in a fight during the recent MTV music video awards.
However, the drummber had no kind words for his sparring partner, Kid Rock, whom he described as a "wuss" and a "country
bumpkin."
The two musicians are both former husbands of actress
Pamela Anderson, a presenter during Sunday's event at the Palms
casino in Las Vegas.
Lee said in a posting on his Web site
(http://www.tommylee.tv) that he was having a good time at the
show, catching up with old friends, when Kid Rock tapped him on
the shoulder. Lee claims that he stood up to embrace him and exchange
pleasantries.
"He punches me in the face," Lee alleges next, "Well if ya
wanna call it that!? ... More like a bitch slap!"
Lee said he started to retaliate, but hotel security guards
hauled him out, threatening to break his arm. Lee's own
bodyguard told them to let go, and Lee was escorted to his
hotel room by police and Palms co-owner George Maloof.
"I would like to apologize to Alicia and George and MTV for
the disrespectful bull---- caused by a piece of s--- called Kid
Pebble," Lee said.
