Overview
- Lee reiterated the account on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast on July 22, 2026, saying he took the work in the band’s earliest days to make ends meet.
- He said the band met a woman who ran an escort service who offered them dates, and that each of the men had been receiving only $20 a week from their manager.
- Lee described going on about nine or ten dates and earning roughly $500 per date, which he said was a major boost compared with their weekly pay.
- He told hosts that some assignments were simply dinner and companionship for older clients while other encounters could become intimate.
- Multiple entertainment outlets have reported the story based on Lee’s on-record comments and no new legal or investigative developments have been reported, with coverage placing the anecdote against Mötley Crüe’s later commercial success.
