Report: Hoff Hospitalized After Decking Doc

Posted Oct 9th 2009 9:04AM by TMZ Staff

David HasselhoffDavid Hasselhoff was reportedly hospitalized for two days in London after a drunken bender allegedly ended with him punching a doctor in London, this according to The Sun.

The Hoff was released yesterday from the Capio Nightingale Hospital, the paper is reporting, after an alleged drinking bender at the St Martins Lane Hotel.

He was reportedly in town for Simon Cowell's birthday party and has been partying it up in London ever since.

TMZ has confirmed The Hoff was in fact a guest at the St Martins Hotel this week and a guest at Simon's party.

Hasselhoff has battled alcohol problems for years, most recently last month when The Hoff was taken to the ER -- but he says that trip was for an ear problem.

We contacted Hoff's rep, who is looking into it right now.

UPDATE: 9:22 AM ET: We contacted the office of the doctor The Hoff allegedly attacked. An assistant simply said, "No comment" and hung up.David Hasselhoff

8. Once a drunk,ALWAYS a drunk. Addicts,whether drugs or alcohol,are weak,pathetic,self indulgent,self obsessed,hopeless cretins.The mistake we make is not seeing them for what they are,and trying to change them. They ultimately get what they deserve,a slow,lingering death!!!!!!!!!!!

10. AA isn't for everybody. It requires some level of personal responsibility, which Hoff clearly lacks. What he needs is Britney's Dad.

But seriously, it is so sad to see this...his poor daughters must just be crushed by this awful slide he's taking. He needs a miracle. I hope he gets one.

14. TO WANDA: Posted at 9:41AM on Oct 9th 2009 by Wanda

WOW Wanda. Tell that to the millions of recovered addicts that have not drank or taken drugs for years & years. Addiction is a disease that can be conquered if the person has the desire to change their life.

15. Here we go with the "disease" b.s. I don't know of any other disease that you can get into and out of any time you want. You can CHOOSE to drink or not drink. Cancer patients can't choose to have cancer or not.
