From washingtonpost.com:
David Hasselhoff accepted libel damages Friday from the publisher of magazines that accused him of being drunk and abusive in a Hollywood nightclub.
Northern and Shell PLC, the publisher of the British edition of OK magazine and Northern and Shell North America Ltd., the publisher of the U.S. edition of OK Weekly, “accept that their allegations were false,” Hasselhoffs lawyer, Simon Smith, said in court.
The amount of damages in the out-of-court settlement was not disclosed.
Smith said the July 3 U.K. edition of OK accused the 55-year-old former star of TVs “Baywatch” and “Knight Rider” of being “off his face” and abusive in a club shortly after winning a custody battle for his daughters.
