Celebrity Justice
The Hoff: No Beer, Just My Ear

Posted Sep 21st 2009 1:05PM by TMZ Staff

david hasselhoffDavid Hasselhoff says he wasn't drunk yesterday -- he wasn't even drinking and yesterday's drama was all a misunderstanding over an ear problem.

As we first reported, paramedics went to Hasselhoff's home yesterday and took him to the hospital -- this, after his daughter Hayley called her mom and sounded an alarm. Pamela says she was told David had been drinking and one of her friends then called 911.

Hasselhoff's people tell us he was being treated by his family doctor for an ear infection and was taking Antivert. Hasselhoff was also taking Antabuse, which prevents alcoholics from drinking. The Hoff's camp says the combination of drugs messed up his equilibrium, he was feeling sick and wasn't able to reach his family doctor.

Team Hasselhoff says when paramedics arrived David decided to go to the hospital -- not because he was drinking but to help with the equilibrium problem.

Hasselhoff's people say he was released an hour after being treated at the hospital.

31. It infuriates me that he thinks we are so DUMB out here in the public, that he can peddle any type of LIE like this EVERY SINGLE TIME, he gets drunk, and think's we will believe it. And what he is doing to his kids is CHILD ABUSE to me.

32. btw, Antabuse does not PREVENT alocholics from drinking. It's actually kind of pointless. Antabuse is a chemical that when an individual drinks alcohol, the person gets violently ill- vomiting, etc...this is like negative reinforcement thing, but this doesn't really work for most people BECAUSE WHEN THEY DRINK THEY SKIP THE MEDS....oh boy

38. Yea right......so his daughter just up and lied on him for no reason at all. Stay in denial Hoff, you ain't hurting nobody but yourself.

39. I doubt that the people on this board jumping to the conclusion that he was drinking are in any position of expertise to judge the potential drug interaction.

Maybe the daughter knew and saw more. We don't know. We assume. If he's lying, he's only fooling himself.

43. I pray for David Hasselhoff. Alcholism is a horrible disease/addiction that can not be overcome easily. If you have never been there it's easy to critisize his behavior. David is a sick man that needs serious help. I can tell you he does not want to be the way he is. He does not want to drink. It's the addiction. There are a lot of people out there that are afflicted by this disease. Alcholism is either treated or you die.

44. BS.........

you can tell he is drunk on his show America's got Talent sometimes, that's why I refuse to watch that show because of this guy. He's as messed up or even more so than Paula!!!!!!!

Who does he think he's fooling?

Get Help DAvid.............. Stop hurting your daughter like this! Do it for her, think of her......... you want her to end up like you?
