Hasselhoff Gets Custody!
After the famous hamburger incident, David Hasselhoff has emerged victorious in court! He has won temporary custody of his two kids.
The court hearing today was closed -- secret. Hasselhoff went into court stripped of his right to visit with his children in the wake of the burger video. But we're told the judge was stunned by the evidence presented by the court-appointed expert who performed psychological evaluations on the family.
We're told the expert said Pamela Bach, Hasselhoff's ex, was abusive to her kids -- especially Hayley, the younger of the two. The expert also noted that Bach refused drug testing, among many other things.
Bach's lawyer was on the defensive today, unsuccessfully attacking the expert.
Sources say the judge gave David full custody for two weeks, until the next hearing is held. Until then, the kids will live with him.
UPDATE: A source tells TMZ that David Hasselhoff had his custody rights restored after agreeing to alcohol testing. This person did not mention the fact that the judge temporarily stripped Pamela of her custody rights.
TMZ spoke with David Hasselhoff's lawyer, Mel Goldsman, who refused to discuss TMZ's original story and Bach's statements about what happened in court
