Hoff hospitalised 13 times for alcohol poisoning, claims ex-wife

The former wife of Baywatch star David Hasselhoff has spoken out for the first time since the release of his drunken video, which showed the shirtless actor slurring his words and struggling to eat a hamburger.
The footage, which was shot by the couple’s daughter Taylor-Ann, 17, was just a small glimpse at his long term struggle, according to his ex wife Pamela Bach.
She told Us Weekly: “He has been to the emergency room at least 12 to 13 times at Cedars-Sinai – under aliases – for alcohol poisoning. He’s been through three rehabs – in 2001, 2002, and 2004.” Hasselhoff’s lawyer Melvin Goldsman denied both claims.
The couple were married for 16 years before divorcing in July of 2006 because of Hasselhoff’s problems with alcohol.
She said: “He was my best friend, and I was lucky to marry the love of my life. But over time, the disease eroded the relationship.”
Bach notes that despite his ongoing battle, his daughters Hayley, 14, and Taylor-Ann still want a relationship with him: “They absolutely love their father. They just want him to get better.”

His x-wife has NO CLASS to spill all that personal info in the media. You know she leaked that video. It’s amazing how people will sell their soul for money, or someone elses for that matter.

OMG meow-town, really.
By several accounts, DH is a vain, egotistical, longtime, raging alcoholic. Why pounce on the messenger? The truth is what it is, however it came to light.
Everyone knows alcoholics/ addicts make lousy spouses and parents.
Direct your ire to the one who deserves it.

Sorry Lilac. Being an RN I know all about Alcoholism. It’s a disease. This isn’t about him. This is about “Air Time” for her. All this woman is doing, is going round after round with her lawyer doing interviews. I directed my ire where exactly where I wanted to direct it.
