Tommy Lee Responds to Criticism Over Exposed Genitalia at Mötley Crüe Show
Mötley Crüe drummer and exhibitionist Tommy Lee is catching flak after asking concertgoers to expose their breasts and genitals at a show on Wednesday (September 7th) at Oracle Park in San Francisco. Lee’s recent affinity for whipping it out has overflowed into Mötley Crüe’s live show.

The drummer also encouraged male and female fans to expose themselves at several shows, getting a number of audience members to oblige. As reported by the Bay Area’s ABC7, concertgoer Juan Alvarez attended the San Francisco concert with his sister and said it was “traumatizing” witnessin...
