Tommy Lee gave his 1.5 million Instagram followers quite the eyeful when he said “to hell with the rules” and posted a full-frontal selfie Thursday.
The photo, which features the drummer wearing nothing but jewelry, remained up for over five hours and is now making the rounds on Twitter (link work-unfriendly).
Lee captioned the photo “Ooooopppsss,” and it garnered over 50,000 likes and thousands of comments before it was ultimately taken down. It’s not clear if Lee or the app removed the post.
Among the comments was one from Grindr, which posted, “Wrong app, babe.” Lee’s wife, Brittany Furlan, went with a subtle “OH MY GOD.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Lee’s endowment re-entered the zeitgeist earlier this year via the Hulu series Pam & Tommy, which told the story of Lee’s infamous sex tape with ex-wife Pamela Anderson. In one scene, Lee (Sebastian Stan) converses with his penis, which was voiced by Jason Mantzoukas.
The musician followed up the post by sharing an image of a nude man standing in front of an elephant with the text: “How do you breathe through that little thing??”
He also posted a photo of a banana on a Buddha statue along with the caption: “Twinning”. Hilarious.

While many commenters had fun with the revealing post, others were quick to call out a double standard.
Jennifer Savin wrote on Cosmopolitan:
Could you imagine the stark difference in replies if, say, a fellow female musician decided to share a vulva photo? Look at how Kourtney Kardashian was shamed for posting a semi-nude image, with trolls more than happily letting her know they found it unacceptable for her to strip off as a mother (Tommy Lee is a father of two, by the way). Ditto Britney Spears, who has been cruelly ‘called out’ for her naked posts.
We’ve also reported on Instagram users getting banned altogether for posting less explicit content, but the rules are likely different if you’re a vaguely household name.
Here’s how Twitter is reacting:
Tommy Lee's dick pic was on Instagram for 5+ hours before being pulled yet queer artists get banned all the time for art that doesn't even show genitalia

it’s kinda fucked that tommy lee can post full dong on ig for hours before it’s removed with no repercussions but sex workers who rely on the bag are shadowbanned or have their accounts nuked for posting anything remotely lewd.

If I had a nickel for every time in my life the world went nuts over tommy lee's hog, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice.

So he has a big dick. Whatever; he’s still gross and unf*ckable.
Godabed
who hasn’t seen his dick before?
Jim
A couple of decades ago I might have wanted to see the pic. But now???
humble charlie
i hope he uses drakkar noir
Man About Town
Wow, that really takes me back. And maybe he should combine it with eau sauvage!
scotty
mmmm the aroma from the NJ boardwalks during the 80s. all those guidos with the noir. you just know hes got a hot tub full of it.
chat fisher
PLEASE! Get over it! As if your have never and are shocked to see one!
tjack47
Is that flaccid or his erection? I’m not sure. That’s a lot of dick. I think he looks good. Aged. I also think it’s funny, but I have a sense of humor.
ShiningSex
it’s not fully flaccid, but “played” with a bit. Many have seen it flaccid on his videos with Pam. He’s revolting though so who really cares. Plenty of sexy men with big ones out there. His age is not the issue, he’s just gross
BrokebackBob
I’d never seen it but boy I’ve seen better which is not necessarily bigger. I think Tommy is a butt-ugly nothing-burger, sort of like his dick.
johncp56
I saw the stollen tape in a porn theater San Mateo ,ca the palms, first i,m attracted to thin inked men, but dear yum it is big enough lol, I look for guys built and inked like him to this day, D size we all know is random, on all men
Donston
Probably done on purpose. Tommy has constantly referenced “the tape” and made jokes about it throughout the years. While Pamela has continued to show embarrassment towards it. The only real attention he can get nowadays is for his penis or relationship with Pamela.
Just.my.opinion
He is such an ugly man. Why would anyone want to see him – clothed or nude? Repulsive either way.
Brian
Big dick, but awful pic. The weird angle means that his forearm looms large, and his dick disappears into the distance. It looks as if his dick has no head. And those tattoos are horrible. I’d never want to suck a dick with a gun pointed at my head. The guy has no brain.
Some of the complainers have a point — it’s literally Facebook / Instagram / Meta company policy that rich and famous people don’t have to follow the same rules. It’s literally written into their standards. The double standard is gross.
ShiningSex
there are plenty of men with big members that are attractive, why post about him? He’s hideous.
bachy
I’m neither a Tommy Lee nor a Pamela Anderson fan, but people, if you have not seen it, HULU’s Pam & Tommy is one of the most outrageously entertaining thrill rides of 2022!
inbama
Straight people have different standards when discussing size.
If you want to see it, the hated Perez Hilton of course has it on Twitter.
sfhairy
Mmmmm, that can be fun, he can j/o while fisting me.
nm4047
Is his ‘career’ waning further and in need of some self publicity
southernway
Love him even if he is straight and I like he is comfortable in sharing his natural gift from the god Eros!
