The Hoff

On May 3, 2007, a video surfaced of Hasselhoff apparently in mid-stupor.[8] The new video shows him shirtless, lying on the floor, drunkenly trying to focus on a Wendy's hamburger in a Las Vegas hotel room. His daughter Taylor Ann, who shot the video, can be heard saying "Tell me you are going to stop, tell me you are going to stop." The daughter also warned her father that he could be jeopardizing his spot in the Las Vegas production of The Producers.[9] Hasselhoff issued a statement, in the wake of the leaked video, that it was released deliberately. Hasselhoff claims that it was filmed by Taylor Ann so that he could see how he appeared and acted when intoxicated.[10] Hasselhoff's visitation rights with his two daughters were suspended on May 7, 2007 because of the video; the suspension lasted until May 21, 2007, at which point the video's authenticity and distributor was determined
