David Hasselhoff is getting one last chance to prove he hasn’t violated a court order that says he can’t drink if he wants to get primary custody of his two kids.
Superior Court Judge Mark A. Juhas said he wanted the former “Baywatch” actor to have a chance to show that he passed an alcohol test conducted Friday morning before the final ruling.
An associate of his attorney, Marci Levine, said that Hasselhoff was clean and that he was being tested for alcohol use “several times a week.” A court hearing in the custody battle was postponed Friday because Hasselhoff’s lawyer was ill. It’s been rescheduled for Monday afternoon.
Hasselhoff, 54, and Pamela Bach, 43, have feuded over custody of their daughters Hayley, 16, and Taylor-Ann, 14. They were married in 1989 but divorced last year and have been sharing custody.
Hasselhoff, a recovering alcoholic, lost the right to visit his two teenage daughters for two weeks last month after the leak of a videotape that showed him shirtless and apparently drunk, eating a cheeseburger on the floor of his Las Vegas home in April. One of his daughters is heard chastising him. His rights were later restored.
