4. They both should be ashamed of making their fight public and putting their daughter in the middle of it. Judging by the amount of attention they are putting on her - http://www.buzztracker.com/category/alec_baldwin - it won't be a surprise to see her in rehab at 15.

5. Now I think Alec is a good actor, and that is what he does in public act like a nice person, and yes, all parents can relate to anger at being worried when we cannot reach our children. That being said, calling anyone names especailly your child it too much. Neither Kim nor Alec have acted in this young girls best interest since the beginning of their divorce. But Alec has proven over and over his temper is just too much for adults, just think if he was your father. He needs help, and yes, Kim needs help. They need to go to family counseling for more than a few times. And he needs anger management classes for himself. Look at his history, move out of the country if Bush became president, etc. He is always shooting off his mouth, and he has a right to speak him mind, but not call his kid a pig, she will never forget that, and Kim did not cause that, it came out of his own mouth. Shame on him. I don't watch 30 rock or whatever it is called because he uses his daughter as a pawn, and I don't watch anything with Kim, Neither one of these two should have had kids. God protect the child.

6. Whoever actually leaked this to the media does NOT have this child best interest at heart......big deal they embarrass AB...they have truely embarrassed this little girl....the whole world didn't need to know this!

7. No one can know what is behind this. In a bitter and nasty divorce, there ARE mothers who poison their children against their father. Angry parents who get manipulated by their kids can SAY things. Parenthood isn't all unicorns and rainbows- especially for the non-custodial parent. This could be the fault of BOTH parents. If Basinger cannot find a way to work this out for the SAKE of her daughter, then she is at fault. She married Baldwin and she had this child WITH him.She needs to be a lot better at helping her daughter get along with her father- no matter how tempermental they ALL are. To leak this sort of stuff is vindictive and counterproductive- and she should be above that.

8. My ex did the same thing to me. He had a complete inability to accept responsibility for the effect his actions had on the children. The fact that he completely disappeared out of their lives for three years and wasn't welcomed back with open arms was because I implement a program of "parental alienation." I feel horrible for Kim who knows the impact a destructive Father can have on a child's life.

Hang in there Kim!

9. Alec released a comment though his press agent stating that "you don't know what I've been throught the last six years"..........as if that makes his actions justified.

10. I have cussed out my kids way worse than this, who hasn't? But what I think is worse is that Mommy Dearest put it out there for the world to hear...thats low...he was just dumb for giving her this ammuniton.

11. I'm no great fan of either of them but from the time they split it seems that Kim has given him a hard time at every turn. I would imagine that years of this game playing by her, with the girl in the middle - unfortunately - has taken it's toll on him. I've seen some women really ruin relationships between their children and dads and I have seen it the other way around too. It's a shame.
I've always thought that Kim is kind of weird. She can hardly speak in interviews and looks uncomfortable when out in the public promoting the few movies she does. Maybe people shouldn't be too quick to rush to judgement.

12. Abusers often cast themselves in the role of victim. I have a relative who would curse and threaten Aides who were assigned to help her with personal care, household chores and cooking (free of charge, mind you). In one instance, she would refuse to bathe for weeks at a time because she didn't like the aide. Yet, she expected the woman who remain in her presence in a cramped apartment for four hours a day.

After numerous complaints from the aides, social workers paid an unannouced visit. At first, she was charming and all smiles. When they mentioned the fact that she desperately needed a bath, she flew into a rage and started cursing. The end result - termination of services.

13. KIM BASINGER IS A BITCH!

Alec seems like a desperate and heartbroken father.

What a shame!

See, money does not buy happiness.

14. Kim is a malicious witch who obviously only has her own best interest at heart.She has done so much damage to her daughter it is unbelievable. Ireland will realize her mother for what she is one day, and then Kim will be the one alone out in the cold of which she fully deserves.
