Kid Rock shed some light on why he sucker-punched Tommy Lee last Sunday night at the VMA’s on a radio show in L.A. Thursday morning. Kid maintains it had nothing to do with ex-wife Pamela Anderson and everything to do with Tommy Lee deserving a good old-fashioned ass kickin’.

“It’s been going on for five years. I did what any man would do, any man across the country, across the world would do, it kills me just to be associated with, to have my name in a sentence with him, it honestly destroys me.” “Last contact I had with him was when me and Pam were going through our divorce. He picked up her Blackberry and started e-mailing me a lot of horrendous things. It was extremely disrespectful. This was unavoidable. I had to do what I had to do because this was a long time coming. You know, I came back from the bathroom and he was sitting right there. It was even more disrespectful after everything he’s said, I was like that’s enough, that’s it. If he’s smart he’ll be like you know down deep you had it coming. Just leave it alone now. Go your own way.”

Kid also shed some light on his relationship with Pam and what kind of girl she is.

“The best thing I ever did was I filed for that divorce. You have to go through these things to realize that, you know. I was in love with her. I went through it, I did what I had to do, but thank God I got out of. I knew it was a bad career move to get involved with her because your life becomes a circus – because that’s what she wants is media attention.”
