Tommy Lee turned heads when he shared an explicit video on social media on Monday to mark the solar eclipse. 

While the world was eagerly waiting for the total solar eclipse, several made a joke about the phenomenon, and the Motley Crue drummer was among them. 

Lee, 61, shared an explicit video showing testicles as if they were eclipsing the sun.

The "testicular eclipse" entry was deleted shortly. However, it made its way into a Mexican TV news show covering the celestial event.

TMZ confirmed that the "testicular eclipse" footage that Lee shared and the clip flashed on TV were the same. However, the outlet noted that Lee only shared the video after someone had sent it to him, so the testicles didn't belong to the musician. Another man has since claimed ownership of the explicit material.

"Good afternoon,@rcg_media. I appreciate that you took my video about the eclipse, but I would have loved to have been credited. Greetings," @Rhevolver wrote in Spanish on X, formerly Twitter. 

It was unclear if Rhevolver's footage was of himself, or if it was from another "testicular eclipse" post.

Meanwhile, it's unclear if Lee, who has a history of sharing his nudes on social media, deleted the explicit eclipse video himself or if the platform removed it.

"For a variety of reasons, we don't allow nudity on Instagram. This includes photos, videos, and some digitally-created content that show sexual intercourse, genitals, and close-ups of fully-nude buttocks," Instagram's Community Guidelines indicated, per Mirror.

In August 2022, the drummer violated the guideline by sharing a full-frontal nude photo of himself, which the moderators were quick to take down. 

He made a follow-up post after the removal of his NSFW photo by uploading a meme of an elephant with a naked man in front but with his back to the camera, Loudwire reported.

In July last year, Lee shared another naked photo of himself in his pool. His wife, Brittany Furlan, didn't seem to mind him sharing nudes on social media.

"That's what I love about him, is he's so crazy and wild. I know he posts a lot of controversial stuff, which I'm like, 'Oh God, why are you posting that?' My husband will post stuff that he thinks is funny," Furlan told People in June 2023. 

"People get up in arms and I'm like, 'Oh my God, just remember that this is a 60-year-old man posting on the internet.' I don't care, really."

She added, "I have no control of him. He is his own person. If he wants to post his weiner, I don't personally care because I think nudity is not a big deal at all. 'Oh, a penis.' Who cares?"
