David Hasselhoff asked his children to video him when drunk so he could "see what he is like".
A video of the former 'Baywatch' star, a recovering alcoholic, is has now appeared on the internet, and shows him rolling around shirtless on a hotel room floor trying to eat a hamburger.
Hasselhoff's 16-year-old daughter Taylor is heard pleading: "Dad, you have to promise me you're not going to get alcohol tonight, OK? You hear me? No alcohol!
"The doctor is coming over here in the morning to check your alcohol level. If you have any alcohol in your system, you are going to be fired from the show."
The 54-year-old, who is currently starring in musical 'The Producers' in Las Vegas, is furious the tape has been made public during his bitter divorce battle with Pamela Bach.
Hasselhoff said: "I am a recovering alcoholic. Despite that I have been going through a painful divorce and I have recently been separated from my children due to my work, I have been successfully dealing with my issue.
"Unfortunately, one evening I did have a brief relapse, but part of recovery is relapse.
"Because of my honest and positive relationship with my daughters, who were concerned for my wellbeing, there was a tape made that night to show me what I was like. I have seen the tape. I have learned from it and I am back on my game. I thank God for the love and concern from my daughters.
"The tape was never meant to become public, but appears to have been obtained and released by my ex-wife. I hope that someone else will learn from the tape, as I have."
A representative for Debra Opri, Bach's lawyer, said: "Pamela Bach and her attorney Debra Opri were not the ones who disseminated the tape.
"Both Pamela and her attorney have not seen the tape, and Pam has no desire to at this time."
Bach, 44, does not want Hasselhoff to have custody of their daughters.
She told Access Hollywood: "I don't trust that he can hold his disease at bay to not take that drink."

Every time I see the video,which seems to be every 30 minutes all I feel is sad.
Sad for him and his family. My father too was an alcoholic and it brings back
memories of a very sick man. When he was sober he was so tired and ready to lead
a normal life but he couldn't give the bottle up. He was a great man - well
respected and loved by everyone - he was President of his own company and doing
well as far as everyone else was concerned - but inside he was not well. There

There was and still is such a stigma on mental illness that people are unwilling to seek treatment.My father finally committed suicide after he was diagnosed as manic depressive! Personally I believe he wanted us to live without his shame.
What I wouldn't give to have him back in my life no matter who he was!
Thats it ? A thirty second video ? This is all that was shown ? This is nothing ! Drunks get a whole lot worse than that, can`t believe his ex thought that was something to see.
The whole thing is disgusting - who put it public. These entertainers have no shame whatsoever!!!
