It has been reported that David Hasselhoff asked to be videotaped drunk so he can see how he acts.
By: Shannon Gossage
The tape shows Hasselhoff, 54, sitting shirtless on a hotel room floor. He is visibly drunk and a family member reported to be his oldest daughter, Taylor-Ann, is filming him. On the tape you can hear her begging her father to stop drinking. She said, "Dad look at what this is doing to you. You have to stop drinking alcohol, promise me you won’t drink anymore." On the tape Hasselhoff says that he drinks because he is lonely. His daughter says, "You are throwing your life away. It is stupid."
After the tape was released, Hasselhoff said in a statement, "I am a recovering alcoholic. Despite [the fact] that I have been going through a painful divorce and I have recently been separated from my children due to my work, I have been successfully dealing with my issue. Unfortunately, one evening I did have a brief relapse, but part of recovery is relapse. Because of my honest and positive relationship with my daughters, who were concerned for my well being, there was a tape made that night to show me what I was like. I have seen the tape. I have learned from it and I am back on my game. I thank God for the love and concern from my daughters. The tape was never meant to become public, but appears to have been obtained and released by my ex-wife. I hope that someone will learn from the tape, as I have."
Hasselhoff and his ex-wife went through a bitter divorce and custody battle with each side hurtling accusations at one another. Bach, 44, recently told Access Hollywood, "I don’t trust that he can hold his disease at bay to not take that drink." Her lawyer, Debra Opri, also said in a statement that Bach had not seen the tape of Hasselhoff drunk and that neither one of them had anything to do with it being leaked to the media. Hasselhoff’s camp had no comment.
