Cut Hoff the cash says star

-

DAVID Hasselhoff has sparked a family bust-up after telling his ex-wife to find a job.

The Baywatch star has launched a legal bid to end the £7,600-a-month support he has been paying actress Pamela Bach since their divorce 11 years ago.

Court papers reveal she hasn’t been able to land a single role since appearing as a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother in 2011.

Pam, 54, claims to have made “reasonable efforts” to get work but has been thwarted by “the current market” for much younger stars.

Her lawyers say it would be a “travesty” for “The Hoff” to cut her off financiall­y because she spent her “prime earning years” running their home and raising their daughters.

They also allege she is still owed more than a million dollars – around

£763,000 – by her ex from their divorce settlement.

The couple’s lawyers are reportedly still in talks to try to reach a deal prior to a court hearing next year.

Actress daughters Taylor Ann, 27, and Hayley, 25, have “sided 100% with their mom”, according to one pal who added: “They feel angry and hurt that their father wants to stop supporting her. “Pam gave up her own career to raise them so that David could pursue fame and fortune.”

Taylor Ann famously shamed Hasselhoff, now 65,

10 years ago when she released a home video showing him so drunk he tried to eat a burger off the floor.

Spokesmen for Bach and Hasselhoff in Los Angeles declined to comment.
