David Hasselhoff’s life is slowly falling apart. He has now been banned by a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge from seeing his daughters as a result of the tape that was shown by the media last week.

TMZ reports:

TMZ has learned that a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge has suspended David Hasselhoff’s right to visit his children in the wake of the videotape showing the actor drunk on his living room floor.

Hasselhoff is allowed to have telephone contact only.

On May 21, the judge will hold a hearing on the videotape and how it will affect Hasselhoff’s long-term visitation rights.

The judge also ordered that Hasselhoff, his ex-wife Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff and their kids meet with a psychologist prior to the May 21st hearing. The psychologist has the power to adjust the judge’s order after meeting with the fractured family.

Strangely, the judge never admitted the videotape into evidence but said it didn’t matter because he’s a “normal human being” who reads, among other things, TMZ.

A judge making a decision not by actually looking at the evidence, but by reading information from a tabloid? Am I the only person that finds that a tad bit worrying?

Hasselhoff may be an alcoholic, and he may have been a fool to ask his daughters to film that clip of him acting like a drunken mess, but call me naive for thinking this is being blown out of proportion. Does the judge really think that denying the Hoff from seeing his kids is going to make him drink less? I know he’s not going to win any Father of the Year awards, but it’s obvious his girls love him and that he loves his girls. The daughters should have been allowed to have their say about the situation.

The only good thing that has come from this decision is that the family is being forced to get psychological help. I hope that therapy will stop this from turning into a Baldwin-Basinger saga.
