David Hasselhoff sued for breach of contract

A filmmaking company is suing David Hasselhoff for breach of contract because it claims he promised to film a Berlin Wall anniversary documentary only with OWLS Media, but he allegedly made a similar film with another company.
OWLS Media's documentary examined the fall of the Berlin Wall and Hasselhoff's role in it, along with his song 'Looking for Freedom', which became the Wall's "anthem", according to documents obtained by Radar Online.
The documentary used the 'Baywatch' star, who is a renowned musical artist and is particularly well-known for his connection to the historic events related to the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Plaintiffs claim that the documentary agreement was exclusive, but the 61-year-old actor filmed a 'superseding documentary almost identical in theme, scope and focus to the (OWLS Media's) documentary, the documents read.
The National Geographic Society's film, which will air in the autumn, is allegedly crushing the plaintiff's documentary and its economic well-being.
As a result, the filmmaking company is seeking exemplary damages.
