Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee has come under fire for ‘letting his dog smoke a cigarette’.
In a new picture shared to his Instagram page, Tommy posed with the dog he shares with partner Brittany Furlan, Neena Da Weena.
The English Cream Dachshund had a cigarette poking out of her mouth while a grinning Tommy held a lighter flame close underneath – not quite lighting the smoke.

In the snap, Tommy can be seen with his glasses resting on his head as Neena looks him in the eye, with one tattooed hand hovering the lighter flame close.

It’s a very tongue in cheek snap – but, perhaps fearful of backlash, Tommy switched off the comments on his Instagram post.
But that didn’t stop furious fans from heading to Twitter to share their thoughts.
One social media user wrote: “Not happy with the new pic Tommy Lee has posted with his dog and turned comments off I wonder why???? Young teens could copy him and put their pets in danger.”
Somebody else replied: “Same, people think it’s funny etc but at the end of the day that poor dog… imagine if he accidentally lit it.”

Tommy is a proud owner of several dogs that he shares with Brittany, including another Dachshund called Teenie the Weenie – who Tommy once pulled out of his pants during a gig after threatening to “expose his wiener”.
Holding his crotch and addressing the crowd, Tommy talked about his famous naked snap which he shared on social media when he was high.
“I figured since they took them down off Instagram, you guys want to see my wiener?” he asked the raving audience, who cheered a unanimous: “Yeah!”
That’s when Tommy produced Teenie from his zipped pants, before carrying him off stage.

Many fans thought the incident was hilarious, with one penning: “Tommy that was absolutely hilarious, as a dachshund lover I truly appreciate this LOL!”
Someone else gushed: “And Brittany is laughing her a** off backstage with the pups!”
But others were left angry over the incident, with one fuming: “That poor dog is going to catch an STD.”
“That poor dog,” someone else sympathised.
As another social media user begged: “Peta, Peta, help!! Poor dog… give that dog a bath!”
Tommy also has pitbull Junior and rescue dog Bowie, while until 2020 Brittany had a Yorkshire Terrier named Wicky – commemorating his tragic death amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
