31. She is a bitch-no wonder she helps with the dog shows.

32. My ex-wife does the same type of alienation and has for a decade. The woman cheated for years during our marriage, lied in court, moved another man in our home, blocked phone calls, visits, put her needs and family gatherings before mine (on my weekends), takes all holidays and leaves me none or a few hours, refuses to speak with me in any tone except demeaning, berates my new wife (who had NOTHING to with my divorce, my ex-wife's boyfriend did), says terrrible things to my children, etc. I have never missed one child support payment yet my ex has blocked holidays and visitation more times than I can ever count. She's a wacko who doesn't care how much pain and bad memories she is creating. She allows my child to post their sexy pictures on line without respecting my opinion to remove them. She wants to be the "best friend" rather than a parent, and kids will go go where there is the least resisitance. I have rules and want to teach my kids moral and respect, she just wants them to forget me. She's a double talking liar who is as phony as the day is long. It's sad and I DO FEEL for ALEC Baldwin. He should have never used many of the words in his voice mail but I have heard worse or the same in grocery stores from moms who have custody or are from an intact family. NO ONE dares say a word to them or dare to remove their legal rights. Alec has been abused by his sick EX and the completely broken legal system. The system should just be honest and say to us men, "We just want your money to fund other State programs via the dollar to dollar federal govt matching plan, we REALLY don't care if you get a chance to parent!!!" Politicians SUCK! I'd like to see one, just one, make it part of their agenda to reform the ancient child support/custody program!!!!

33. Some of you women sound like you have Stockholm Syndrome. You agree and parrot your abusers' words, because you are brainwashed. Alec is an asshole. Don't believe the hype. Looks like you need to get your own houses in order.

34. My husband and I are in total support of Alec Baldwin! This voicemail is just an example of the frustration that Kim has caused him. This woman does not have the right to withhold her child from seeing its father. Any woman (Kim, in this case) or man that does something such as this is guilty of child abuse! Alec is not the criminal here. He is the victim! There are similar situations all over this country of both women and men who withhold visitation of children from the noncustodial parent. Enough is enough! I hope that Alec takes this to the Supreme Court!

35. Because Kim Basinger has chosen to keep quiet and not be drawn into Alec's ranting & raving, she is considered a bad person, & parent. Why doesn't Alec talked about how he hurt her physically including her back. All you have to do is look at Kim's eyes, and face & see the sadness there. Alec Baldwin is a control freak, and he can't stand the thought of Kim not wanting him. HE CANNOT LET GO!!! He is portraying himself as an angel. There are always two sides & we haven't heard hers, because she does not want to keep prolonging this, as Alec Baldwin does. Yes, he is a good actor. That does not make him a good person, father, or husband. He has a TRIGGER FINGER ANGER! And people who have worked with him know this!!

36. I cannot believe so many of you are placing the blame for Alec's tirate on Kim and Ireland..You must all be men using testosterone instead of your brain..Alec is the one that went postal, not Kim..he is a dangerous abuser..verbal and physical, that is why Kim divorced him..Wake up ou there!

37. I love how everyone assumes it was Kim that let the voicemail leak. Do any of you actually know this for fact, do you have proof or are you going on assumptions? This is a horried matter and personally if Alec talks like that to his daughter then Ireland is fine where she is.

38. what the heck is wrong with you people.....kim sounds like she is trying to keep her daughter from harms way......you jump the gun so quickly we do not know who leaked the tape...do you think mabe that is why she left her ex-husband (verbal abuse)...you can only take it so long.....THINK! Quit judging so quickly......if she really cares for her father do you think she would not take his phone calls......even if a mother tells you bad things about your father ....you have to see for yourself........i know i am from a broken home.....i am so sick of people judging before thinking

39. WHEN TWO PEOPLE DECIDE THE MARRIAGE ISN'T WORKING THEY DIVORCE WITH BOTH PARTIES TAKING BLAME FOR THE DEMISE. WHEN THE DIVORCE BECOMES HARDER THAN THE MARRIAGE, BOTH PEOPLE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND DECIDE THEY DON'T WANT TO INFLICT ANYMORE PAIN ON THEIR CHILD. SHE IS THE ONE THAT NOW GOES TO SCHOOL AND HAS EVERYONE LOOKING AT HER AND SAYING "DID HE REALLY CALL YOU A PIG?" YES, BUT HE MEANT TO CALL MY MOTHER A "PIG". IF THERE WAS EVER A CASE FOR DIVORCING YOUR PARENTS, THIS IS IT.

40. Anyone close to the family could have released the voice e-mail --dah, people, wake up.
Kim is showing her courage and common sense by not publicly playing into her ex
psycho husband's public play for sympathy and network damage control. She is the
parent who has Ireland's best interest at heart and is trying to protect this child from
an abusive and egotistical father.

41. It is simply horrific of those of you making excuses for Alec. No people who live in wacky name little children land and cursing them that is NOT appropriate. Hence.....that is why the law is now involved.

Keep up on your facts. The tape given to the judge was NOT sealed. It was public informatin. I do not believe for a second she was aware of it being released.

And as for her being a no show? She is on the down low, unlike the motor mouth of trash running up and down the streets of NY giving live and recorded interviews with anyone who will listen and posting on his website and getting his "friends" to speak on his behalf. Yea...he is REALLY respecting his 11 year old daughter's privacy, right. He is REALLY just trying to let HER life get back to normal.

THIS was not even about a forum for Kim to speak openly her personal matters, and she chose privacy.

Some of you need a little lesson in learning civilization. Stop taking up for the bafoon...Please!

42. I'm glad the tape was released to the public. Now Baldwin is seen for what he really is. He has personally made public his tirade against his ex wife. She divorced him because of his abusive behavior. He was physically and mentally abusive towards her. Now he is caught.........
Kim has stayed quiet all these years all the while he tries to release any kind of dirt on her he can. He recently was trying to throw her in jail for contempt. I hope she can get a restraining order against that nutcase., before he kills her.
They tell you all the time, if a partner is being abusive MAKE IT KNOWN. Get out of the relationship. Tell someone.......
She does exactly that and you see the consequences that resulted from divorcing a arrogant, hot-headed, manic bi-polar man who believes in his own mind he is God.
He needs to get over himself. If I was Kim, I would do whatever possible to keep him from my daughter. The daughter Ireland is probably terrified of her father too. This is a murder waiting to happen. This guy is going over the edge by his own undiagnosed mental disorders and still publically blaming other people.

43. First of all the message is left on the child's cell phone's voice mail. Because it is a cell phone message it available to many ears including the people that work for the server. His daughter could have all voice mail messages forwarded to her (child's) attorney's email as well as many other people. To blame the Mom is unfair. If he hit the child is it the Mom's fault? If he abuses the child is it the Mom's fault? As adults we are in charge of our own behavior. We do not know why it is a nasty custody battle. In my experience most Mom's love to have their kids involved with their Dads unless something uncouth is going on when in the Father's care. The courts no longer listens to the mothers. They wiil not allow a mother to protect their children. I am sure that if Alec Baldwin was the wonderful father he portrays himself to be there would be no custody battle. Mothers like to protect and nuture.Maybe she is protecting an 11 year old child from the type of redicule that is present on the phone call.
