Alec Baldwin is Half Right

Share

Alec Baldwin appeared on 60 Minutes. Morley Safer asked him about the voice mail he left for his daughter in the video above.

Baldwin is correct when he says his anger was directed at his ex wife rather than his daughter, but he forgets to take responsibility for his actions, which means he still has a lot of work to do on himself. However, he doesn’t seem to be working on himself, just more ways to blame others, or attack others, while he still fights the legal battle with his ex wife Kim Basinger.

He is right about the bias of the courts towards mothers, but he doesn’t make a good example of the type of real victims of that bias.

Baldwin believes that all the anger he keeps directing at his ex wife, and Republicans, is still justified, and he paints himself repeatedly as a victim, again without taking responsibility for making himself a lightening rod.

What Mr Baldwin has failed to learn during his lifetime, is that the tug-of-war with his enemies will not end until he finally learns to let go of the rope.

Alec Baldwin Talks About Parental Alienation

Share


Alec Baldwin gave his public apology on The View. I would have rather seen him on Fox News, but he thinks they are owned by Satan, which they’re not, I’ve checked. My only criticism of his appearance is that he didn’t shave. Rosie shaves every day, why couldn’t Alec?

Alec was very sincere, and made an especially important point when he said that a child feels they are betraying their custodial parent if they don’t reject the other parent as their custodial parent has. What’s that called? Parental alienation. What do courts do to prevent this? The courts encourage this by allowing the custodial parent to keep the other parent from having visitation. It never seems to be what’s in the best interest of the child, but instead about who wins and who loses in the courts. Family courts really need to be reformed.

If the courts did what was right, then they would make sure the child could see both parents. There are times when one parent is a danger. The problem in most cases though, is that one parent abuses the system by falsely claiming the other parent is a danger.

When Alec left his rant on voicemail he showed a lot of frustration, but it’s doubtful that he’s a danger. Kim Basinger hired a body guard for daughter Ireland anyway, because she wants the court to believe Alec is a danger. I don’t even like Alec, and yet I like Kim even less now. It’s obvious, at least to me, that Kim is abusing a system setup to legitimately protect children in real cases where a parent is a danger.

More needs to be done to help fathers who want to be in their children’s life.

Alec Baldwin Leaves Talent Agency That Scored Big for Kim Basinger

Share

Days after Alec Baldwin’s (49) ranting voice-mail message to his daughter surfaced on the Internet, the actor has severed ties with his longtime talent agency, a spokesman said on Tuesday.

Baldwin’s publicist, Matthew Hiltzik, denied there was any link between the actor’s decision to leave Creative Artists Agency and the storm of media attention sparked by the private phone message made public last week.

"This is purely a personal matter," Hiltzik said. "It has nothing to do with his very talented agent at CAA, who has done great work for him."

Baldwin, 49, who currently stars on the popular television comedy "30 Rock," is not immediately seeking representation from another agency, Hiltzik said.

CAA’s client roster still includes Baldwin’s ex-wife, actress Kim Basinger, with whom he is waging a bitter, six-year battle over custody of their only daughter, Ireland. The 11-year-old girl lives with her mother.

Perhaps Baldwin left because Kim Basinger just scored a fat new modeling deal with beauty giant, Coty. The 53-year-old will represent the Lancaster skincare line, which calls itself the "anti-ageing expert," in their new ad campaigns worldwide, except in the United States. Basinger’s new gig brings her back to her cover girl roots, as the former Breck girl was a Ford model in the 70s.

Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger Still At War

Share

Here’s a brief summary of what’s going on. Alec Baldwin is already waiting for the court to finally find Kim Basinger in contempt for violating court orders in their divorce regarding his visitation with his daughter Ireland. The divorce has been over for years, but the court has yet to address Alec’s complaints. This really upsets Alec who lost it the other day when his disrsepcting daughter Ireland didn’t answer his phone call.

Kim then hired a body guard for Ireland, which Alec has to pay for. The body guard is just drama, and should really be a red flag that Kim is still not willing to be reasonable in allowing Alec time with his daughter. The court did act quickly by denying Alec any visitation until a hearing coming soon.

The bottom line is this: Alec is a spoiled little brat that can’t handle being told no. Kim is a vindictive woman who only cares about revenge against Alec, and does not care if all this hatred causes daughter Ireleand psychological and emotional injury.

It’s understandable that the attorneys want to continue the conflict because they make more money without a resolution, but the judge is supposed to settle these issues so the child can have equal access to both the father and the mother. However, reality is that courts are based on a winner versus loser mentality.

Both Alec and Kim should get counseling, and see a psychiatrist, until Ireland is 18 years old.

How would you solve the conflict between Alec and Kim?

Alec Baldwin Goes to Court To Stop Voicemail Leaks

Share

Alec Baldwin acted inappropriately when he left that irate message for his daughter Ireland, which as it turns out was the third message he left that evening. As it turns out, Kim Basinger, who is already facing multiple criminal contempt of court in her interference with Alec and daughter Ireland’s relationship, may have violated the court’s orders again when she released a copy of the voicemail, which embarrassed Ireland as well as Alec, and also puts Ireland in the middle of two feuding parents again. It may sound crazy, but maybe the court should award joint custody with no child support, with each parent required to go to counseling together, and parenting classes together. Just a thought, here’s more:

Alec Baldwin has just filed legal papers in Los Angeles County Superior Court to determine who gave TMZ the vile voice mail message Alec left for his daughter Ireland.

The document is an Order to Show Cause on why Basinger and her lawyers should not be held in contempt.

In a declaration filed by Baldwin’s lawyer, Vicki Greene, the attorney says "Petitioner [Basinger] is the only parent with custody, possession and control of the minor child’s telephone voice-mail message that was dissemination (sic) to Harvey Levin and TMZ."

Greene continues, "I do not know how Mr. Levin received any information about the court proceeding that was closed to the public, but again, it had to come from someone connected to the proceeding, and it was not me."

Greene adds, "If Mr. Levin had a tape recorded message between Respondent and the minor child, it had to have originated from Petitioner or her employees, agents or attorneys."

Greene ends with this: "Respondent [Baldwin] urges the Court to set a hearing to determine the source of the leak and whether and how its Orders have been violated. Information has been leaked to the press intentionally. The specific source is unknown, but it could only have come from Petitioner’s side of the case." Greene ends by alleging the leak "…goes against the Court’s stated desire to protect the child from unwarranted publicity."

    Yeah, my father yelled at me, but never in a million years would he ever speak that way to me. ...

    I hope whoever leaked it goes to jail. It's a private, personal message and it shouldn't have been made public. ...
