OK! magazine in the UK and its sister title OK! Weekly in the US reported in July that the star of the American series Knight Rider and Baywatch celebrated winning a custody battle for his daughters by drinking irresponsibly in the Les Deux nightclub.

On 2 July the US magazine claimed Hasselhoff "drank champagne like water" from midnight until 2am and "chugged down a full glass of champagne before leaving at the request of his partner". The article also alleged the actor left the club with a "goody bag" including a $700 (£350) bottle of Veuve Clicquot, courtesy of the management.
