Lee also posted a picture of his bloodied lip but later deleted it. He had captioned the photo, "My heart is broken. You can give your kids everything they could ever want in their entire lives and they can still turn against you."

Brandon spoke out in a video on Instagram Story according to People. "As I get older, I have started to realize that there are very few people you can trust … that’s my super depressing thought for tonight. Just thought I’d share it and be a d—,” he said.
Lee's fiancee, social media sensation Brittany Furlan, tweeted on Tuesday, "Violence is NEVER the answer."
