Hasselhoff's Ex Not Copping to Hit-and-Run
Turns out Pamela Bach has more on her plate than a messy custody battle.
David Hasselhoff's ex-wife pleaded not guilty Wednesday to a misdemeanor hit-and-run charge stemming from what sounds like a minor car accident that occurred Jan. 22 in North Hollywood.
According to Bach's attorney, Peter Knecht, she did indeed get out of her car to look for damages after backing into another vehicle. (And no, it wasn't her former hubby's.)
Not seeing any damage, Bach drove away, Knecht said, calling the incident a "minor fender-bender."
Someone took down Bach's license plate number, however, leading to the misdemeanor criminal charge.
Knecht said that a "civil compromise" is in the works and that he expects the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office to dismiss the charge.
Because the accident occurred before Bach's divorce was finalized, she was accused under the name Pamela Hasselhoff.
The onetime Baywatch guest star is also due in court this Friday for a follow-up custody hearing, one of many that has been held in the past year to determine what arrangements would most benefit her and Hasselhoff's two teenage children.
The former spouses technically have joint custody of Hayley, 14, and Taylor-Ann, 16, but an L.A. judge temporarily suspended Hasselhoff's visitation privileges earlier this month after a home movie surfaced showing the America's Got Talent judge drunk, shirtless and sitting on the floor of his Las Vegas hotel room while struggling to eat a hamburger. Taylor, who you can hear on the tape saying, "promise me you won't drink anymore," was the one wielding the camera as her father rambled on.
L.A. Superior Court Judge Mark Juhas restored the Hoff's privileges May 21 during a closed hearing from which both parties emerged looking pleased, although neither side could comment on what exactly transpired that day due to a court-imposed gag order.
Bach's attorney, Debra Opri, denied all reports that said Hasselhoff had been awarded temporary custody of the kids because of Bach's so-called personal issues (which, according to Hasselhoff, have included drug and emotional problems), accusing the actor and his attorney of leaking false statements to the press.
"Their actions are inappropriate and the content of their information to the media reads like a badly written television show," Opri said.
