LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: David Hasselhoff’s ex-wife, Pamela Bach, had legal troubles in the months and years leading up to her tragic death by reported suicide, In Touch reported.
The 62-year-old actress was found dead inside her Hollywood Hills home on Wednesday, March 5, night after suffering a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
On December 11, 2024, she was sued by an attorney named Stacy L Sokol for an alleged $3,625 owed for work done, as per court documents obtained by the outlet.
Pamela Bach's legal troubles before her death
The attorney explained that the amount was for "attorney fees, costs, expenses, and advances owing in connection with restoring an LLC to good standing and transferring the property out of the LLC."
Moreover, Sokol stated that she gave the services from February 2022 to May 2022, per the outlet. She served Pamela with the court documents on December 22, 2024, at her home in Los Angeles.
However, on February 14, Sokol dismissed the case, with prejudice, before Pamela reverted to the claims in court.
Meanwhile, Hasselhoff's ex-wife faced another legal battle in September 2023. Her neighbors, Brian Berri and Claire Weglarz filed a small claims case.
The suit read, "Ms Hasselhoff’s dog was off leash and attacked our leashed dog during our morning neighborhood walk on June 13, 2023. Her dog charged as soon as it saw us, tackled our dog, pinned him to the ground, and bit him in the upper shoulder just inches from his neck."
It further mentioned, "He sustained multiple puncture wounds that required emergency veterinary attention. Our dog had to get stitches, antibiotics, and ultimately a drainage tube due to an infection to the wound developed a few days after the attack."
The suit also stated, "The vet bills totaled $3,067. We reached out to Ms Hasselhoff multiple times via text, letter, and Facebook, but she ignored all our attempts to resolve outside of court."
A judgment of $31,57 was entered against Pamela in November 2023, and in February 2024, she filed an answer in the case. She said that Brian’s dog bit her and he hit her dog. Notably, the case was resolved in September 2024.
Similarly in 2018, She was sued by a man who claimed she hired him to do work at her home for $300 per day, the outlet reported. The man said she terminated him and refused to pay the balance due. He claimed that Pamela became "insulting, defaming, and harassing."
In December 2018, a hearing was held where it was found that Pamela owed the contractor some money.
Pamela Bach's daughter was 'hysterical' after finding mother's dead body
Pamela Bach's daughter Hayley Hasselhoff was apparently "hysterical" after finding her mother's dead body following the reported suicide.
Her neighbor Hiromi Osiecki informed Daily Mail that she saw paramedics arrive at the residence around 9 pm and heard a woman, whom she believed was Hayley, going in and out of the house "screaming and crying".
The neighbor said, "She was hysterical, yelling, screaming, crying on the street. She was crying, saying, I just want to get my car."
Osiecki continued, "A little later, she came out with police. I heard her crying, and somebody was trying to comfort her. Police tried to bring her in the house and close the door, but the door got opened. She was in and out a few times."
The neighbor added that the young woman came out "crying like crazy", according to Page Six.
The neighbor and her husband told Daily Mail that Hayley lived in the house with Pamela about a decade back and they recognized her Mercedes in the driveway on Wednesday night.
