It’s no secret that Tommy Lee, Motley Crue drummer and the father of Pamela Anderson’s two children, and Pam’s ex-hubby Kid Rock have little love for each other. The bad blood between the two rockers apparently boiled over at the MTV VMA’s last night. An altercation occurred during a performance by Alicia Keys. Details about what started the brawl are unclear but Jamie Foxx and Diddy, who was slated to present an award with Rock, both commented during the show on the fight between Tommy and Kid.

MTV.com reports that Rock was cited for misdemeanor battery for his assault on Lee. Rock was not detained or taken into police custody but was issued a summons. He’ll need to return to Vegas for a future court date, and if convicted, he faces a $500 fine and up to six months behind bars.

Eyewitnesses claim that Kid Rock landed a backhand and a punch before Tommy Lee was able to retaliate. Security threw chairs out of their way to get to Lee to restrain him and escort him out of the Pearl Theater in the Palms Casino Resort.

This isn’t the first time Kid Rock has went after Pam Anderson’s other ex. On New Year’s Eve. less than two months after the Baywatch beauty filed divorce from Rock, Kid kicked down the door to what he believed to be the drummer’s room at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Kid Rock mistakenly broke into the wrong room and found a very surprised family behind the door.
