Tommy Lee shuts down Courtney Love calling 'The Dirt' "stupid and vile"
While Mötley Crüe biopic The Dirt sent the band back to success, it has faced its fair share of criticism.
The film’s latest critic is Courtney Love, who called the movie the “dumbest Netflix film ever,” but drummer Tommy Lee has shot back.

Love was asked in an interview what some of her favorite things to do with her girlfriends were, and she retold her night trashing the biopic with her buddies.
“We watched the dumbest Netflix film ever called ‘The Dirt’. It’s so stupid and vile about women, and just fucking dumb. It was super fun to groan together,” says Love. “I was like, ‘When’s Ozzy gonna snort the ant?’ Then, within seconds, he snorted the ant. Then the Nikki Sixx character was like, ‘I have a new girlfriend. She’s sweet. She’s wonderful.’ I was like, ‘And her name is heroin.’ Two seconds later: ‘Her name is heroin.'”
After the interview made its way around the internet, Lee responded to the former Hole musician.
“Hey @Courtney When’s your movie coming out? Oh wait…. Never!!!!!”

The members of the band have fired back at critics before this too, with bassist Nikki Sixx putting former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Jake E. Lee on blast.
Lee claimed the infamous ant snorting scene wasn’t accurate and the band asked him to replace guitarist Mick Mars. Sixx was quick to shut down the hearsay and called it a “make believe story.”
Make believe story. Everybody wants peice of the Crüe now. Believe me. Almost 40 years together. We know our story way more than some shadowy worms. https://t.co/TDTsWk4cdk
