Alec, Kim and Ireland Out Over Weekend

46. This is typical of divorced parent, the mother uses the children against their fathers. A father has two roles : a husband and a father, a man can be a lousy husband but a great father, or he can be a lousy father and great husband.
Kim Bassinger is not saint, if she knows the father is going to call why not make the child accessible to talk to her father, up until the age of 18, she can then decide if she wants to talk to her father or not, and why not encourage a father and daughter relationship?
From the tone of what the father said, it seems he has had enough, and fraustrated, this is happening to fathers all over the USA. Mothers are not all innocent, that is the reason why there are so many children on drugs, depress, runaways, and dystunctional , which is a cycle that goes from generation to generation.
I am the mother of three daughters and my thoughts about my ex-husband is self contained I always respect my ex, and I have experience what most women has, that is unacceptable in a marriage, hence it did not work, so I decided I did not want this man to be my husband, my children cannot make that decision, but I always encourage a relationship.

47. Alec went off on her for consistently not being there for scheduled calls and threatened ot have a talk with her about it - did't threaten with violence. Let's not get it twisted. And if you were ANY kind of parent who actually loved YOUR children then you wouldn't want ANOTHER CHILD to lose their father just because he has a hot temper. It calls for counseling - not DAMAGING THE CHILD FOREVER by taking the father away. A child needs BOTH parents - not just one. Time and time again it's proven how damaging it is for the child to be with out one of the parents.

Your comments are obviously driven by the fact that you mindlessly let the media tell you what to think and have no orignal thoughts or ideas of your own. Either that - or you are just not a very good parent.
In RESPONSE, #35
ALEC is that you? I NEVER said take his parental rights away!! LETS LOOK AGAIN-----
SO in your WORLD, it's okay to CALL your daughter names & THREATEN her? HMMM!! Never said I want to take your child away, just think ANYONE who thinks it's OKAY to talk to a child like that shouldn't be a parent! I have a daughter too. I'm not perfect but I would NEVER talk to her like that! She knows theres consequences to her actions. But my husband would never THREATEN or Call her NAMES over a PHONE call!! GROW UP----- Thats what I said IDIOT!! HE did THREATEN her QUOTE---" I'm gonna get on a plane & straighten your ass out! Do you hear me? So you better be ready, you disgusting little pig!! " Sounds like a THREAT to me? AND ALL this over a MISSED phone call!! (AS for the me listening to the media-HAHAHA!! ) It's SOOO LIBERAL-LIKE YOU & ALEC!! YOU INSANE IDIOTS ARE THE REASONS KIDS HAVE NO RESPECT FOR ANYONE TODAY & BLAME EVERYONE ELSE!! JENNIFER- YOU need to go seek some MENTAL help & TAKE THAT LOSER ALEC with you! I'm sure you might get a GROUP-DISCOUNT!!

49. I have never liked Kim Basinger. She's a horrible actress and an even worse mother! Alec was wrong to say the things that he said but if Kim was a better mother and looked for the best interest of her child NONE of what has gone on would have ever happened. That's the man she chose to be the father of her child, just because she doesn't want to be his wife anymore doesn't mean he stops being the child's father.
Hey Kim, move on with your life and let your daughter have HER father in her life. And while your at it GET OVER YOURSELF!!! BABOSA!

50. Ireland is probably better off WITHOUT her father in her life. He was just being plain ABUSIVE!!

VERBALLY ABUSIVE!! He needs help.....I hope he gets some fast.

(If any of the Baldwins do read this website...you are all crappy actors and has beens.

I've seen better actors at a Kindergarten play.

51. #46 - I didn't read your rant except the last part where my name is mentioned. For somebody who criticizes others for going off - people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. You've proven yourself to be irrational and unintelligent by how you've chosen to conduct yourself in this comment thread.

52. "Ellie"...you sure seem to have alot of insight into this whole situation. Sounds like one of the Baldwin's to me.

53. #38 You have got to be kidding me? I myself must think abuse is normal because I think Alec should seek counseling (i.e. professional help) rather then damaging Ireland forever by stripping her of her father? Wow - now i know the mindless sort that are on this board. I didn't say anything about what he said and did was OK. You have to have intelligence to know when to work a problem out and when to walk away. This is something that can be worked out. Obviously you do not have that level of ingelligence and instead take an overly simplistic and moronic view point.

54. #39 by Ellie: I agree with your comments.

TMZ: You sure are not being fair with this story---very one-sided. That's yellow journalism, boys.

Posted at 2:48PM on Apr 23rd 2007 by I love TMZ!

55. i'll bet if alec was in ireland's 11 year old female body and someone in an adult male body with a short fuse called him a "pig" and threatened to "straighten him out", he would have a few choice words and probably a fist or two ready for them. role reversal can reveal alot.
too bad ireland can't match him in size and beat the oink outta alec!

57. You can't fool a family court Judge. They have seen it all and no matter what he said on that tape, he knows exactly who leaked the tape. So how fit is she to involve her daughter in this mess. The Judge is going to order that they pay for lawyer for the children; this is what happens when both parents are acting foolishly.

Kim Bassinger is acting as if she is the only one that should be the parent. That's not how it works anymore, even with abuse. You need more than a Tape...you need pictures bruises, hospital visits. Calls to the house when he beat the children. Many women as I did try these tactics. They only backfire on you because what you don't know when you are going through your first Divorce. The Judge sitting before you has heard this story almost in ever hearing and can make a good judgment if it's true or not. With the help of an Attorney for the Children. He has the right to see his children, he is their father and she can't stop it and she should stop trying to make him unhappy because he has moved on with his life.


Did she intionally have her daughter not answer the phone...yes...why because she wanted him to be pissed off so she could use the tape. Did it myself and if she really thinks this is going to work in her favor...it's not. Kim is appearing to be an unfit mother herself. They both can be ordered to seek counseling with their children and it should be 1 counselor only that the Judge orders. This is when they turn the case over to a fict finding mission. It will be a court order.

58. I just hope that Alec has 'Tom Cruised' his career over this. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

59. #42....CMS....NOW THAT'S FUNNY! Actually, I'm a 67 year old grandmother of five...who had a son-in-law who was abusive... not only to my daughter...but his three children as well. He wound up with monitored visits...and then... owing $36,000 in child support..moved away with his 18 year old girlfriend...and lived happily ever after ....now having two more children who have no idea who or what this man is. It was quite a step for me to bash Kim Basinger for her actions...in consideration of what has happened in my family ....but actually...I'm proud to say that shows I have no bias for either the mother or father in a situation....I call 'em as I see 'em! Related to Alec Baldwin? Sorry ..but the closest I've gotten to Mr. Baldwin is seeing him at the Winnetka Ave. Starbucks here in Woodland Hills. If you have not noticed lately....children today...grow up way before their time...open up a newspaper...and it's all right there. They know more at 10 and 11 years old than my children who are only in their 40's now...knew when they were years older than that. I won't even bother to compare them to kids growing up in the 50's when I did...that would be laughable. Ireland is no kid...in the true sense of the word...and she is well aware of her actions...by whatever means they are conveyed. You would have to be blind to not see what is going on in this scenario...it's got red lights flashing...and has Kim's name all over it. I'm not saying Alec is not a terrible hothead...but so are millions of other parents....and comparably...he's probably a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. The biggest mistake people make is underestimating the power of a conniving ...often ruthless child...when they have an agenda. It isn't hard to see that Kim Basinger is loving that this thing was exposed...she can now play act as being the "protector." It might be one of her best acting jobs. I'll close with saying I'm sorry once again that I didn't fit into your picture of me as a relative of Alec Baldwin's or a man scorned in a divorce. Maybe...since you're way off on that analysis ....you're equally as misguided in regard to the reality of this whole situation....

60. Alec is jealous of Kim because she has won the Academy Award and he has never even been nominated. Wish these ignorant actors would use their money and get educated. Did Alec or Rosie O'Donnel graduate from High School? Probably not , since they act like morons most of the time. I admire Brooks Shields and Jody Foster for going to college - even at the peak of their popularity. People who don't know what they are talking about should keep their big, fat mouths closed!!!!!
