Hey David Hasselhoff...Will Ya Knock It Off Already? - Page 3
Too bad Hoff didn't have his side kick car KITT with him. I am sure the soothing voice of William Daniels (the voice behind KITT which is now available on GPS, seriously) would have made sure that Hoff tossed his keys and put down the booze.
On a more serious note.....
let's talk about that infamous and wholly unflattering video which I have watched for myself.
The entire scene was beyond repulsive. Witnessing a once dignified "Hoff" eating a cheeseburger off the floor in his Vegas hotel room, in a state of undress and utterly incoherent is sad enough (I don't think I can look at a burger from Wendy's ever again) but even more disturbing is the fact that his daughter Taylor-Ann was playing nurse maid while filming her father in state no child should ever witness their parents in. Taylor, forced to take on the role of parent is telling her father:
"Dad you need to promise me your not going to get alcohol tonight." She continued to warn him that he will lose his job (he was playing the part of Roger De Bristo in the Vegas production of The Producers) if the doctor finds any alcohol in his system the next morning. She goes on to say that if he continued to drink, she would not talk to him anymore and she would disown him, because it wasn't fair to her or the family. Out of the mouths of babes!
Even stranger (and perhaps sadder) is Taylor filmed her dad supposedly because he asked her to. He wanted to see what he looked like when he falls off the wagon, and what a fall it was. But I guess either the video didn't have enough impact on the Hoff, or he is not having luck with fighting his demons.
Children of alcoholics endure so much pain and suffering. It's a tragedy when children switch roles and play the parent to their alcoholic parents. It makes them grow up too quickly in an ugly unstable environment while robbing them of their childhood. The scars never go away, and can manifest years later.
Back in 2006, Hayley was involved in a tabloid story of her own when news leaked out that her father David had called 911 to report a suicide attempt by his daughter. Conflicting reports later followed stating this was all a big misunderstanding and Hayley has merely been scratched by a cat, with her dad overreacting.
