Tommy Lee is suing his manager for making him look bad.Washed-up glam metal band Motley Crue is suing their former manager for making Tommy Lee look bad. What did this manager do? He put Tommy in reality shows.
Yep, that would do it.
In the lawsuit lodged at Los Angeles County Superior Court the band – Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil, Mick Mars and Tommy Lee – accused manager Carl Stubner of “extortionist tactics”.
The suit also alleged Stubner persuaded Lee, the ex-husband of Baywatch star Pamela Anderson, to sign on for a series of reality television projects that tarnished his and the band’s image.
The suit said the two reality television shows starring Lee – Tommy Lee Goes to College and Rock Star: Supernova portrayed the drummer in an unflattering light.
This is a guy who is well known due to (1) showing his ass at concerts, (2) nailing Pam Anderson on video, and (3) a four-year-old kid drowning in his pool. The only way you could portray Tommy Lee in more of an unflattering light is if you used fluorescent. Nobody looks good in fluorescent.
