The video of a drunken David Hasselhoff hurling expletives at his teenage daughter was recorded just two weeks ago, according to the actor's ex-wife.
Hasselhoff and his aides claimed the video had been taken three months ago when it was leaked to the press last week, but the disgraced Baywatch star's former wife Pamela Bach has now come forward with what she claims is the truth.
Appearing alongside her attorney Debra Opri on last night's CNN show Larry King Live, Bach said, "It was (taken) about two weeks ago - the last weekend she was in Vegas."
Bach, who has been accused of leaking the tape herself, insisted she knew nothing about it until last Wednesday when her eldest daughter Taylor called her and attempted to explain the footage had fallen into the hands of the media.
Bach said: "I didn't know about it and I said, 'Why didn't you ever tell me you taped him?'"
The actress/singer went on to claim that the tape was her teenage daughter's "cry for help".
She added: "She (Taylor) said she wanted to show daddy... I told her it's not her job, he's the parent... I just pray that he gets help because they love their father."
