David Hasselhoff's relapse - page 2

Hasselhoff said after the incident: "I am a recovering alcoholic. I have been dealing with my issue. Unfortunately, I did have a brief relapse, but part of recovery is relapse."

In June, Hasselhoff was awarded primary custody of his daughters, 17-year-old Taylor-Ann and 15-year-old Hayley, with ex-wife Pamela Bach.

Hasselhoff and Bach are due to attend a mediation hearing tomorrow (11.10.07) and will be told if the actor's relapse will affect their existing custody arrangement.

Bach claims the star's alcoholism slowly destroyed their 16-year marriage.

She said: "He has been through three rehabs - in 2001, 2002, and 2004. He has been to the emergency room at least 12 to 13 times at Cedars-Sinai, under aliases, for alcohol poisoning. His disease is very extreme. Over time, the disease eroded the relationship."
