Tommy Lee's wife Brittany Furlan was inundated with criticism after she appeared to mock Pamela Anderson, but has now insisted it was just "a joke".
The 36-year-old appeared to hit out at her husband's ex-wife in a now-deleted TikTok video in which she used a Pamela-style filter on her face and had the words "Pam if I died" written underneath.
Brittany then mimed along as a voice said: "Oh she passed away? Awww. Ohh. Alright." She wrote in the caption: "Pls guys I gotta make jokes, it's how I cope."
She has now defended her clip and said people "mistook" her intentions.
The model stepped out for dinner with Tommy and his son Dylan Jagger Lee at Giorgio Baldi in Los Angeles, where she was questioned about her TikTok.

At first Brittany said she couldn't hear the onlooker but when he pressed further, she said: "Ah, it was just a joke," and shrugged in a video obtained by the DailyMail.
The video comes as Brittany thanked her fans for their support after Pamela said her new documentary and memoir would "annoy" the Motley Crue drummer's wife.
Speaking in a video shared on social media, she said: "Hi guys, I just wanted to come on here to let you know that I'm okay.

"Because I know people have been checking on me which is really nice, and I'm good, don't worry— and don't worry about all the people that are saying all the mean things that they're saying.
"That's totally, you know, I don't live in that. I don't live in that world.
"So please, like, don't stress and thank you to all the people that have been so sweet.
"You know we're only here for a certain amount of time, so I don't sweat the comments from people who don't know me or my relationship or anything like that.
"I love everyone that's been really kind, and I'm sending love to those who have been unkind because I think they probably need it. It is what it is. It's life I guess."
Pamela discussed her former romance with Tommy in her new documentary, titled Pamela, a Love Story.
The Baywatch star, 55, tied the knot with Tommy back in 1995 after knowing him for just four days. The pair had a turbulent three year romance and share two children together.
