Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee left the internet scarred after posting a frontal nude image of himself on Instagram. The rockstar took to the social media platform on Thursday, August 11, and did not leave much to the imagination.
Netizens were stunned by the post and wondered why it was not immediately taken down by the platform. Tommy Lee appeared to be sitting on the edge of a jacuzzi and taking a selfie. The caption of the post read, “Ooooopppsss.”
The now-deleted post racked up immense traction from his 1.4 million followers and several celebrities showed up in the comment section. Comedians like Ryan Sickler and Brittany Furlan, alongside TikToker Daniel Mac and Machine Gun Kelly's drummer Rook, commented on the post.
Lee went on to upload another picture, which depicted an elephant standing face-to-face with a naked man. The elephant was seen asking the person, “How do you breathe through that little thing??”
Netizens react to Tommy Lee’s recent Instagram post
Several followers of the 59-year-old musician were shocked by the Instagram post. Meanwhile, others wondered how the post managed to stay up on the social media platform for more than three hours as it has a strict no-nudity policy.
Netizens hilariously expressed disappointment at opening the app at 3 AM only to be "flashed" by the Athens-native.
The drummer bared it all in the Pamela Anderson tape
This is not the first time that the Methods of Mayhem drummer has been so brazen. He was also part of the infamous Pamela Anderson tape, which was filmed while driving.
In recent weeks, Lee gained traction online for similar reasons after the rockstar’s privates were shown in Disney+'s Pam & Tommy. However, it has since been revealed that Sebastian Stan, who played Lee in the miniseries, was wearing a prosthetic in the series. The series also charted the controversial tape of Lee’s former girlfriend Pamela Anderson.
In the show, Stan goes to the bathroom under the influence of drugs and has a lengthy conversation with his own privates about falling for Anderson too soon.
Viewers of the series were shocked to see the scene. The writer, Robert Siegal, went on to admit that there was some pushback over the scene being included in the script. However, the clip was not as random as one might think.
In an interview with Variety, Siegal admitted:
“As much as I'd like to take credit for that, I was simply adapting a chapter from Lee’s memoir. I think it might be a first for television. There was gentle pushback, because you've got to push back a little when a talking p**is is presented to you. But Hulu was extremely supportive.”
Tommy Lee's social media post is no longer available at the time of writing this article. However, it is unknown whether the artist deleted the post or it was removed by Instagram.
