Days after Tommy Lee’s son Brandon Lee reportedly assaulted him inside their home, the 21-year-old has come forward to claim the fight was fueled by his father’s explosive alcoholism.

“I’m devastated at the events of the last several days that have been a result of my father’s alcoholism,” Brandon said via his rep in a statement to PEOPLE.

“I’ve worked tirelessly organizing an intervention and it’s incredibly upsetting that it never came to fruition. I wanted my dad’s hopeful sobriety and recovery to be a private family matter but, as a result of his accusations on social media, I feel forced to speak out. I have and will continue to cooperate with law enforcement as needed. I love my father and just want to see him sober, happy and healthy.”
