Entertainment Tonight will air a video tonight showing David Hasselhoff seemingly drunk as his daughter pleads with him to stop drinking. Amazingly, the video appears to have been Hasselhoffs idea. ET says:
he appears to be intoxicated in heartbreaking footage believed to be taken three months ago by his 16-year-old daughter, TAYLOR. In the video, Taylor begs her father to stop drinking, saying, "Dad, look what this is doing to you. You have to stop drinking alcohol, promise me you won't drink anymore. They're going to come tomorrow and test you, and you're going to lose your job." Sources tell ET that he told his daughters that if he ever fell off the wagon, they should tape him so that he'll know what kind of condition he's in and learn something from it.
In a statement just issued, Hasselhoff says:
"I am a recovering alcoholic. Despite 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, I did have a brief relapse. Because of my honest and positive relationship with my children, who were concerned for my well-being, there was a tape made when I had a relapse 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 children. The tape made by my children was never meant to become public, but was obviously released by my estranged wife, who has her own agenda. I hope that someone else will learn form this tape, as I have."
Jesus are we sure he was even drunk in the video. He's rolling around like he just got kicked in the head by a donkey. Hey sweetie, how about you put the camera down and call daddy a doctor.
first?
the Hoff is an ugly drunk.
that is all.
haven’t seen it yet but I have just one question: does he call his daughter a rude little pig?
Kit? Kit?
still haven’t seen it but I must commend Brend-on on today’s lineup: Britney, Brangelina, Paris Hilton (twice), and now the Hoff. The only thing that could make it better is a “LiLo flashes her crotch/breasts” story…WITH VIDEO.
brave sir robin, is that jolie’s cooter? THE HOFF RULES
Victoria, how dare you! That’s my sister’s coochie.
This clip is reminds me of the scene in Trading Places where a drunk Dan A. tries eating a whole side of smoked salmon on a City bus.
I gotta say, that’s damn cool of him to own up to it, especially as fast as he did.
This totally looks like he’s about to audition for a bargain-basement porno. The cheap videocamera, the blank walls, the half-naked junkie sprawled across the floor, the condescending voice behind the camera… something’s fishy.
In rereading 18:56, clearly BSR is drunk, too. Never tell a Navy man when he’s had too much to drink….
He may sing like a fuckin jackass, but at least he takes his public embarrassment well. Hoff just went up a notch in my book..he is now at -2.
His daughter forgot to draw swastikas and penises on his face before starting the tape.
People really need to start destroying their shit. He should turn this into a public service announcement. Paris, Brit, Lindsay, etc., here is your future.
Is he eating raw chicken breast? Or Taco taco tacos?
And why oh WHY are we supposed to give a shit about David Fucking Hasselhoff? William Shatner has slightly more Irony Appeal and a smidgen more talent. This “news” is like finding out your 3rd grade substitute gym teacher has a drinking problem.
“This “news” is like finding out your 3rd grade substitute gym teacher has a drinking problem.”
NOT COACH MCCOY!? He had a drinking problem? I’m devastated.
I mean, on top of the pedophilia and all.
why is his daughter recording?
I would be more interested in seeing footage of his 16 year-old daughter drunk and topless!
And for the record I am very impressed with The Hoff’s statement. I was expecting him to go on the View and cry about it or enter rehab and leave 24 hours later. If we can only keep him from making music videos and keep him in rolls where he is only making fun of himself, I say we should keep him around.
