EXCLUSIVEPamela Bach Hasselhoff's Friends Patrik Simpson and Pol' Atteu Reminisce on Her 'Tortured' Life After Tragic Suicide
Patrik Simpson and Pol' Atteu remembered their friend Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff after she committed suicide.
Patrik Simpson and Pol’ Atteu spoke exclusively to OK! after their dear friend Pamela Bach Hasselhoff committed suicide.
Pol' Atteu said they knew Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff for 'many years.'
“We loved Pamela,” Simpson shared. “She was such a beautiful person inside and out and never got over her love for David Hasselhoff. He cut her off financially and his life of drugs and alcohol destroyed their marriage and broke up their family. He left her with no money and helpless to fend for herself.”
Pol’, who is a dress designer, also had memories to share about his deceased friend.
Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff shared two kids with David Hasselhoff.
“We knew Pamela for many years after we met her at Fashion Week years ago, and in 2023, she wanted to wear my gown to her daughter’s wedding, but David refused to pay for it,” he stated. “I told her, ‘Don’t worry about it, we will take care of you anyway.' She was so embarrassed that David would not pay for it and said she would wear something else because she did not want to stick her friends with the bill.” “It was so sad,” Pol’ added. “She was tortured and never got over the abuse he inflicted on her.”
