What Really Caused Heather Locklear And Tommy Lee's Divorce

In 2004, Tommy Lee discussed his past marriages while promoting his biography, "Tommyland." When appearing on "20/20" in October of that year, the rock star was asked if he had stayed faithful while married to Heather Locklear. "Absolutely. When I'm in love ... I don't even look," he replied, per ABC News. Shortly after, Lee contradicted himself and revealed that his infidelities were what led to their divorce.

During an interview for Blender's December 2004 issue, the Mötley Crüe member discussed his various trysts with adult film stars. "Yeah, f***ing with porno stars ruined my marriage," Lee told Blender (via Blabbermouth.net). "That was in '93, right before I got divorced from Heather [Locklear]," he added. The "Girls, Girls, Girls" artist was also asked how many women he had slept with in total, and Lee struggled to come up with a number. "F***. I don't know. Two...hundred?" he replied. 

A year earlier, Locklear weighed in on her love life. Although the "Melrose Place" star did not mention her ex-husband by name, she took a magnanimous approach while discussing her past. "You just have to forgive them for being men," she told Esquire in 2003. "You can't keep changing men, so you settle for changing your lipstick," Locklear told the publication in a piece filled with notable quotes. "I don't date rock 'n' rollers. I just marry them," the former soap opera star added. Years later, a famous radio personality said they believed those rock star relationships led to Locklear's undoing.
