Celebrity Justice
Hoff: I Got Full Custody of My Kids

With a colossal smile plastered across his face, David Hasselhoff emerged from a Los Angeles County Superior courtroom moments ago and told our cameras he was awarded primary physical and sole legal custody of his two daughters -- apparently putting an end to one of the most bitter and public custody battles of all time.

After randomly proclaiming today "a beautiful day to go the beach," Hoff told the media, "The judge said today 'enough, enough is enough, these children have been through enough.'" Hoff then discussed his beach plans, and never one to let an opportunity slip through his fingers -- used the attention to plug "America's Got Talent."

Moments after the judge's decision, Hoff's ex-wife Pamela Bach was spotted crying in the hallway. She was overheard telling her lawyer Debra Opri, "What am I gonna say? I just lost my kids." Opri then escorted Bach into the restroom, where they remained for several minutes. A short time later, Bach appeared in front of the media with her game face on -- keeping her composure as she smiled and waved.

94. If losing your kids doesn't give you the fight to get sober, then
nothing will. I truly hope she goes to rehab. The children deserve to
have two sober parents.

98. You people must be DRUNK - that video was shot sometime LAST YEAR!!! It was Opri's camp that released it to the press!!

David's daughter did this to wake her dad up to his drinking problem and GUESS WHAT??? IT WORKED!!!

David has been in treatment and is tested often (court ordered) and he has passed all the test's and complied with treatment.

That is why HE got custody and the wife is home snorting more drugs to soothe her emotional needs wondering WHY????

99. #62: I couldn't agree with you more. And I'll tell you who I feel sorry for, because it's not the addicted parents who are doing nothing to seek help and who are affecting their children. I feel sorry for the parents who go through this who are really, really good parents...and who don't have the money to fight exes who, because they have money and/or political connections, get custody for no legitimate reason. It happens every day in courtrooms in this country...and "best interest of the child" doesn't even come into play.

100. What? He seems like a nutjob!? How could she be any worse?

101. David, we happy for you, especially you don't have to pay OPRI's bill. Did you hear what she charged Larry Birkhead, over $600,000, and she wasn't the attorney in the Bahamas or Florida.

102. Debra Opri went to a NO NAME law school, where 2/3 of the graduates can't even pass the bar! No wonder she is such a washout! This is NOT a lawyer who needs to be so much in the public eye. She is dreadful!

104. #99 I was thinking the same thing - He's a drunk, who in their right mind would give a drunk sole custody?

105. We all wish you well David. Glad to hear the good news, and survived that battle with that mean and vicious attorney, OPRI.
