A high-profile Hollywood farewell took place over the weekend, but it wasn’t the emotional tributes or heartfelt speeches that captured public attention. It was the one person who didn’t show up.

Over the weekend, family and friends gathered at the Bel Air Presbyterian Church to bid farewell to Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff. The actress and ex-wife of David Hasselhoff was remembered in a quiet service attended by loved ones and well-wishers. But one notable absence did not go unnoticed.

David was not seen at the Saturday ceremony, according to eyewitnesses. Despite their shared history and two children together, the former “Baywatch” star did not attend. When contacted for comment, a representative for Hasselhoff declined to explain his absence. The lack of clarity has only fueled online reactions.

On social media, the discussion quickly gained momentum. Many users voiced their disappointment. “At the very least, be there for your kids,” one post read. Another simply stated, “The Hoff with the disrespect.” Others echoed similar sentiments. “That’s pretty cold, not gonna lie…”

Amid the criticism, some voices struck a different tone. One commenter suggested that people may be rushing to judgment. They speculated that David’s absence could have been intentional—not out of disregard, but respect.

According to the user, his decision might have been “a final act of love” rather than an act of avoidance. They argued that David may have chosen to stay away so that the focus remained on Pamela and their children, not on his presence. “Let him be,” the commenter urged, calling for understanding over assumptions.

The debate continues to unfold online, revealing a wide spectrum of reactions to a moment both public and deeply personal.
