'Drunk' Hasselhoff Rushed to Hospital

Scared teen daughter calls her mom

Share

(Newser) – An apparently drunken David Hasselhoff was rushed to a California hospital by ambulance last night after his worried daughter called her mom, reports TMZ. Haley Hasselhoff, 17, was staying with her dad at his Encino home. Her mom, Pamela Bach, arranged for paramedics to collect the inebriated actor. The former star of Baywatch and Knight Rider has a history of battling alcoholism and was last hospitalized for alcohol poisoning in spring.

the mother should stop letting the daughter stay there. why should the daughter be caretaker to her drunken father? she's 17 year old who should be out having fun with her peers instead of worrying if her dad is gonna die or worse. if she doesn't go already, she needs to go to alateen meetings.

I agree with QuackQuack to some extent--this isn't our business. HOWEVER, I really agree with schmidt. This young woman shouldn't have to take care of a drunk. Is she the one who took the pictures of him trying to eat a hamburger on the floor then made it public in an effort to get him to stop drinking? She should NOT have to be the sober adult in this relationship.
