Baldwin Criticized For Nasty Comments
23 04 2007
Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, 53, divorced in 2001. Since, they have had joint custody of their daughter Ireland, 11. However, Ireland lives with her mother in Los Angeles to attend school and Baldwin lives in New York. For the last three years the couple has been fighting over custody of Ireland but since she lives so far away, for now, they have scheduled phone calls.
Well, Ireland missed the last schedule phone call and daddy Baldwin got angry and left some nasty messages on the answering machine. According to TMZ, Baldwin, 49, lashes out at his daughter for missing a scheduled phone call, saying she was a "rude little pig" and threatening to "straighten your ass out." "You have humiliated me for the last time," he tells her.
According to People, Baldwin's rep says the actor "acknowledges that he should have used different language in parenting his child" but that "everyone who knows him privately knows what he has been put through for the past six years." Basinger's rep said, "I think the voice
mail speaks for itself," and declined further comment.
Since the incident even people on Baldwin's own Website are criticizing him, along with the newspapers. It is rumored that his fans are turning against him since the incident. However, there are some that are supportive.
Baldwin isn't allowed to see Ireland until their court date on May 4. The actor's rep, Matthew Hiltzik, told the Post that the actor will follow the judge's orders, and said: "Alec truly cares about the best interests of his daughter."






He diffinately went overboard. As parents we all know how frustrating kids can be. But the name calling was inexusable
