David Hasselhoff arrives at The Brit Awards 2009, at Earls Court One on February 18, 2009 in London, England.Us Magazine
"Mr. Hasselhoff was at no time in the condition described in those stories," his lawyers, Melvin Goldsman and Marci Levine, told Usmagazine.com in a statement Monday. "Mr. Hasselhoff spoke to his attorneys on Sunday and was absolutely fine."
The former Baywatch star reportedly had a .39 blood alcohol level and was taken to Cedars-Sinai medical center after his daughter Hayley, 16, found him unconscious on the floor of his home in Encino, Calif., RadarOnline.com first reported. According to the site, his estranged ex-wife -- actress Pamela Bach, who lives 10 minutes away in Hollywood -- drove him to the hospital after her daughter called.
Although he did stay at the hospital overnight, Goldsman told Us that Hasselhoff was sick with possible food poisoning and only a "very slight amount" of alcohol contributing to his illness.
"Mr. Hasselhoff is both disturbed and saddened by the fact that a certain individual is disseminating grossly inaccurate stories about him to the press for ulterior motives," his lawyers told Us.

Hasselhoff, 56, has had a history of alcohol problems, which included a home video in 2007 in which he was drunk and lying on the floor, eating a hamburger, while his daughter Taylor, 18, begged him to stop.
According to Goldsman, the star is currently feeling "great" and has been out and about Monday.

StudboyAddictions are not diseases, they are chosen recreational habits that weak people turn into daily requirements to get through life instead of just being grateful they are alive and have family and friends to make happy and enjoy. They run them off instead.report abuseposted May 5, 2009 9:11 AM PDT

StudboyLisa is drunk herself today, poor typing skills.....lol..... A true disease is suffered by all at any given moment of exposure, alcoholism is a chosen habit, not a disease. Just because someone got it labeled that way for medical reasons to exploit the weak and make money off of it. Wear a helmet if you're going to drink and can't handle it.report abuseposted May 5, 2009 9:08 AM PDT
