Alec Baldwin: Father Of The Year
“Hey, I want to tell you something, OK? And I want to leave a message for you right now. ‘Cause again, it’s 10:30 here in New York on a Wednesday, and once again I’ve made an ass of myself trying to get to a phone to call you at a specific time. When the time comes for me to make the phone call, I stop whatever I’m doing and I go and I make that phone call. At 11 o’clock in the morning in New York and if you don’t pick up the phone at 10 o’clock at night. And you don’t even have the G**damn phone turned on. I want you to know something, OK?
I’m tired of playing this game with you. I’m leaving this message with you to tell you you have insulted me for the last time. You have insulted me. You don’t have the brains or the decency as a human being. I don’t give a damn that you’re 12 years old, or 11 years old, or that you’re a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn’t care about what you do as far as I’m concerned. You have humiliated me for the last time with this phone.
And when I come out there next week, I’m going to fly out there for the day just to straighten you out on this issue. I’m going to let you know just how disappointed in you I am and how angry I am with you that you’ve done this to me again. You’ve made me feel like s**t and you’ve made me feel like a fool over and over and over again. And this crap you pull on me with this G**damn phone situation that you would never dream of doing to your mother and you do it to me constantly and over and over again. I am going to get on a plane and I am going to come out there for the day and I am going to straighten your ass out when I see you. Do you understand me? I’m going to really make sure you get it. Then I’m going to get on a plane and I’m going to turn around and come home. So you’d better be ready Friday the 20th to meet with me. So I’m going to let you know just how I feel about what a rude little pig you really are. You are a rude, thoughtless little pig, OK?”
Â
Â
This is the full text of the voice mail that Alec Baldwin left for his 11-year-old daughter.
Â
If Alec had left this vitriolic message on the voice mail of his worst enemy, I still would have been surprised at the depth of his anger. But to leave such hateful words on the voice mail of his young daughter is simply unforgivable.
Â
Baldwin is a typical Hollywood blowhard; the world revolves around him. He cares only about his feelings: You have insulted ME , You have humiliated ME, You’ve done this to ME again. Nevermind the psychological damage he is inflicting on his daughter by calling her a “pig”.
Â
What was the crime that caused Alec to go bonkers? Did his daughter OD on heroin or run away from home? No, she had the temerity not to pick up her phone when her father called. I don’t blame little Ireland for not wanting to talk to her psycho dad; I’m surprised she hasn’t blocked his phone number.
Â
Surprisingly some jokers have jumped to the defense of the indefensible, but it’s not who you think. Alec is a noted Hollywood liberal, but it’s not liberals who have defended Alec’s meltdown.
Â
It’s a few Men’s Rights Advocates (MRA) who have defended Alec’s tirade against his own daughter. MRA have a few legitimate issues: Men do get the shaft when it comes to divorce and child custody cases. But the “Men’s Movement” goes far beyond these core issues; they see a vast feminist conspiracy to keep men subjugated. Most men’s rights activists believe in a patriarchal society where testosterone is the coin of the realm.
Those in the “Men’s Movement” do great harm to their cause when they defend an out-of-control freak like Baldwin.
And they shouldn’t try to shift the focus away from Baldwin, by castigating the mother, Kim Basinger, for releasing the incriminating voice mail. It hasn’t been prove that Basinger released the voice mail to the media, and two wrongs don’t make a right.
Alec Baldwin has a long history of losing his temper; he is a prime candidate for intervention. Baldwin’s inexcusable tirade against his daughter has proven that he doesn’t deserve custody. He should forget about visitation rights and adopt a pet rat.

I’ve alway held to the delusion I was above the morbid curiosity of freak shows.
I was mistaken, but they ultimately allow me to feel better about my meger place in the food chain. Your sacrifice, that others may feel confident in their integrity, is not in vain.
April 21st, 2007 at 11:34 am
I sincerely hope that some day you get divorced and your ex does to you exactly what Kim Basinger is and has been doing to Alec Baldwin for so many years. And of course, we all know that you will be different and you will always be able to keep your temper in check, especially after everything you do that’s perceived as wrong is used against you and everything your ex does, no matter what, will be used against you. Then when you get screwed by her, I hope that every onlooker takes her side, no matter what you say or do. Then the more you rant and complain, explaining your side, the more everyone takes your ex’s side.
I wonder what percentage of the population of parents in this country have never lost their cool with their children, raising their voices with them and calling them names that they were sorry for afterward. And what percentage did so and weren’t sorry for it afterward because the spoiled kid deserved every syllable of it.
Finally, I wonder how many times Kim Basinger has lost her cool in this way with her children.
April 21st, 2007 at 11:44 am
Children look to their parents for love, affirmation and support; there is no excuse, no justification for a father calling his daughter a “rude little pig.”
By supporting Alec Baldwin Men’s Rights Activists are demonstrating the moral bankruptcy of their cause.

Jas 3:1
¶ My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
Jas 3:2
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
Jas 3:3
Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
Jas 3:4
Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
Jas 3:5
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
Jas 3:6
And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
Jas 3:7
For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
Jas 3:8
But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Jas 3:9
Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
Jas 3:10
Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
Jas 3:11
Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
Jas 3:12
Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
Jas 3:13
¶ Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
Jas 3:14
But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
Jas 3:15
This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
Jas 3:16
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
Jas 3:17
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
Jas 3:18
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

Matthew 18:6
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and the he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Baldwin has caused grievious harm to a little one — his own child. I don’t advoate drowing him in the Pacific Ocean, but I certainly won’t pay good money to see any of his movies.
April 21st, 2007 at 12:35 pm
I don’t like Alec Baldwins past political statements but I would not wish this on him. This is what millions of american fathers are going through. They have to pay an ex-wife that is mean as a rattlesnake while she turns his kids against him.
Now LA County will take away his visitation and double his mommy support.
Family courts exist for only one purpose. To fatten themselves up by taking as much money from fathers as they can before throwing them in jail.
This should serve as yet another of the many thousands of warnings there are in this country not to get married.
The only winning move is not to play, stay single, don’t shack up and don’t get married.
April 21st, 2007 at 12:39 pm
Baldwin and Basinger have both comported themselves shamefully in their custody battle. To hell with Alec and Kim, how about expressing some sympathy for the innocent party, little Ireland?
April 21st, 2007 at 1:41 pm
Kim Basinger: Guilty! Guilty! Guilty! A tyrannical, conniving, manipulative bitch. Violated every court order, ignored every court reprimand, grossly interfered with father-daughter relationship, incessantly used daughter as weapon in unprovoked attacks on ex-spouse.
Alex Baldwin: Guilty! Guilty! Guilty! Said some harsh words to daughter (apologized a few days later) after unable to withstand withering attacks (see above) from ex-spouse for six years with zero support from judicial and law enforcement institutions. Even high-priced attorneys unable to help.
It is 8am on Saturday on the West coast. In two hours, shops will open with a fresh stack of T-shirts with a large photo of daughter Ireland and the words “I’m a rude, thoughtless little pig.†blazed below. In her own diminished mental capacity, Kim will view this as a victory.
Ireland is so totally losing at the hands of her mother.

It appears you’ve misquoted scripture.
Matthew 18:6 is in reference to the Christian whom is as a child.
Albert Barnes’ Notes on the Bible
Mt 18:6
Verse 6. Whoso shall offend. That is, cause to fall, or to sin; or who should place anything in their way to hinder their piety or happiness; Cmt. on Mt 5:29.
These little ones. That is, Christians, manifesting the spirit of little children, 1Jo 2:1,12,18,28.
It were better for him that a millstone, etc. Mills anciently were either turned by hand, Cmt. on Mt 24:41 or by beasts, chiefly by mules. These were of the larger kind; and the original words denote that it was this kind that was intended. This was one mode of capital punishment practised by the Greeks, Syrians, Romans, and by some other surrounding nations. The meaning is, it would be better for him to die before he had committed the sin. To injure, or to cause to sin, the feeblest Christian, will be regarded as a most serious offence, and will be punished accordingly.
{z} “shall offend” Mr 9:42; Lu 17:1-2
Here is that scripture in “full context:”
Mt 18:1
¶ At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Mt 18:2
And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
Mt 18:3
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Mt 18:4
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Mt 18:5
And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
Mt 18:6
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Mt 18:7
¶ Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
April 21st, 2007 at 2:40 pm
That would have been a “conflict” between the book of James and the book of Matthew. Since, the entire bible was written by divine inspiration there can be no conflicts in teaching. The bible is incapable of conflicting itself because God doesn’t make mistakes.
April 21st, 2007 at 3:07 pm
Wow, I really have a hard time believing such a thoughtful,caring liberal like Alec Baldwin would be an ego-maniacal little tyrant when nobody is looking (sarcasm).

>Children look to their parents for love, affirmation and support; there is no exuse, (sic) no justification for a father calling his daughter a “rude little pig.†…Robert Paul Reyes
I think that anyone who takes the side of a child and criticizes their parent in public so obviously and gratuitously for the purpose of bragging and proving to the world how wonderful they themselves are should be thrown in jail for the rest of his or her life for felony child abuse.
April 21st, 2007 at 4:30 pm
I think that anyone who uses the word “sic” to point out a harmless typo for the purpose of bragging and proving to the world how wonderful and intelligent they themselves are should be thrown in jail for the rest of his or her life for felony making a mountain out of a molehole.
Any parent who treats his child so dreadfully, should be publicly criticized.
April 21st, 2007 at 4:48 pm
I would like the full story..what did she do for her father to call her a sic little pig….
I can think of a few instances wher a responseable father, for the girls own good ..and if hes a responseable father.. maybee she needed to be called a sick little pig….who knows???
The mother showed extreme irresponseabillity in exploiting this event for more leverage in court…her little girl is now scarred for life..
THANKS MOM!!!!!!!
does anyone know the full context…or is there a book in the making titled ” DRIVEN OVER THE EDGE IN AN AGE OF PARENTAL ALIENATION”

robert paul reyes …You seem to be of the Ilk that believes children are like gods..and unnreproacheable…that paradigm of thought is directly alligned with thinking women are gods and hence irreproacheable…
Inseccure men are easilly succepteable to this strain of thinking…
Its called the manhole complex….
men who believe women and children are beyond reproach in any degree… are creating a society of sick irresponseable emotionally infantile childs..
April 21st, 2007 at 5:43 pm
Women have effectively created a new Right – to be protected from any form of communication, expression, or revelation of discontent of males.
This applies doubly to includes female children.
Why do you think America is awash in infantile Feminists?
Remove Daughters from Fathers and they will never know how to respect a man. Especially with Mothers teachng a the course for a decade to one child.
Let’s have a Kim Basinger Movie Burn on April 25th!
Burn her in effigy wrapped in the American Flag as a symbol of the Rule of Law she is shrouding herself in.
April 21st, 2007 at 6:17 pm
Indeed: that women demand to be “protected from comminication, expression . . .” is underappreciated. It continues to be said that men are taciturn, poor communicators, while women’s therapists and lawyers advise against mediation and collaborative law approaches, on grounds that women can’t—are too poorly equiped to—negoiate with men.
Discussion is typically deemed too `threatening’ for womwn, and dialogue dismissed as `unsafe.’

Certainly children should be reprimanded when they do wrong, but Baldwin’s tirade qualifies as child abuse.
April 21st, 2007 at 9:53 pm
Robert Paul Reyes said,
“Certainly children should be reprimanded when they do wrong, but Baldwin’s tirade qualifies as child abuse.”
Parental alienation does not? What about paternity fraud? That is child abuse, yet no one ever accuses the mother’s of any wrong doing? Nor, are they ever held accountable for their actions. Not that there was paternity fraud in this case, but I am illustrating a point.
Mr. Reyes you’re an adult, and as such you can’t deny the double standard in which we live in today’s culture. Woman good – man bad. No matter what Kim the (mother) does or does not do, it will be Alec the (father) who will be blamed. This pattern follows the woman good – man bad dogma. It has also become a systemic societal norm and dictate.
This isn’t the 90’s anymore, people know what is going on. The media is a large part of that problem, because so many men and women have now developed a gynocentric (female) world-view regarding social problems.
Also, fear and hatred are emotions. Yet, hatred is a world-view seldom a grass roots endeavor, but propagated by the chattering classes – injected into popular culture. Alec, and all men are abusive given today’s social norms and dictates.
Was it not the feminists who claimed “ALL men are rapists and that’s all they are.”? The word is misandry, and it permeates society much as the hatred of Jews thrived during 1939 Nazi Germany.
April 21st, 2007 at 10:48 pm
Actually Robert it is traitors to their own gender like yourself and other emasculated males who often don the mantle of an MRA like a wolf in sheeps clothing who are doing the most damage to the Mens’s movement…
Not only that it is dishonorable and morally degenerate males such as yourself who infest the family court system like an incurable virus…That have not only have allowed females like kim bassinger to pull this crap (PAS)their ex husbands…But also have the unmigitaed gall to defend these shrews while piously and self righteously condemning their ex husbands when at last they react like Alex Baldwin did after being pushed beyound their limits of endurance…
Which has led many females like the one in Tenn. who murdered her husband in cold blood by shooting him in the back as he slept in their bed…Then through her attorney blamed the victim by using the classic abuse excuse in order to avoid paying the just consequences for her crime…
By defending females such as Kim Bassinger as far as I’m concerned you are just as dispicible and just as guilty as her in attempting to destroy her daughters relationship with her father…While the blood of those men whose lives have been deliberately and intentionally with malice and forethought snuffed by their wifes and which calls out to God for vengence stains your very soul…
April 21st, 2007 at 11:05 pm
Accordiong to Austrilian Courts and the International Treaty on Child Rights Parental Alienation is Abuse.
Sorry Mrs. Reyes.
April 21st, 2007 at 11:12 pm

Robert, Judge not that you may be judged. None of us, you included, are perfect, not even as perfect as we would want to be or think we are already. Even Jesus lost his temper in the Temple.
Robert, a little compassion goes a long way. Save your rage for the really vile. Shouting in frustration is pretty normal. Most of us, you included I am presuming, have been rude, thoughless little pigs in our day and benefited from someone who loves us and tells it as it is and promises to spend the whole day showing us the better path.
Have a glass of milk.

Baldwin demonstrated no love for his 11-year-old daughter. He didn’t say, “Honey, I missed you and I’m flying over there to give my little girl a big hug.” He basically said, “I’m flying over there to kick your a**.
Again, I repeat, there is absolutely no circumstances under which a father is justified in calling his 11-year-old daughter a “rude thoughtless pig.”
April 22nd, 2007 at 7:08 am
Bless me Father Robert for I have sinned. It has been three weeks since my last confession and only two weeks since I called my 12 year old daughter a rude thoughtless little pig, when she pushed my four year old other daughter off the swings and made her fall in a puddle. Mea culpa, mea culpa. I realise I am an abuser who is unfit to have children so please send de boys around to eject me from my family and give me a concrete wellie job, ’cause clearly 24 Hail Mary’s ain’t gonna cut it in your Church of Robert of the New Age Saints.

Like it or not Robert Ireland and her poor excuse of a mother both deserve to be put over Alec Baldwin’s knees and have some sense spanked into them…But of course that would be consider domestic viloence these days and it is because of the DV laws that females like these two spoiled brats are completely out of control…
The simple fact is that real men don’t put up with this kind of behaviour out of females, but emasulated and misguided males not only put up with it they also defend it as you are doing now…
April 22nd, 2007 at 7:51 am
You would think after experiencing parental alienation for about six years Baldwin would have caught on to the fact that it is mommy dearest who is the instigator, not the child. You cannot blame a child, or even reprimand a child, for being brainwashed by his or her primary caretaker. The only thing you can do is plead with the ultimate instigators of parental alienation, the family courts, to somehow give a damn about what the abuse they themselves are encouraging and rewarding, but good luck with that, because said abuse is very profitable for them. Based on Baldwin’s political discourse and past public statements, I’m not surprised he has yet to understand that it is not the child who is the instigator but the mother.

Does it really surprise anyone that a liberal, and a real bonafide Hollywood liberal would talk this way? This is afterall the guy who wanted to “stone” Republican Henry Hyde to death. This is the type of nastiness they spew all the time at people who don’t share their politics and don’t grovel at their feet. Now we see they even direct their ugliness at their own children.
April 22nd, 2007 at 12:23 pm
Anger is a form of protest.
Protest is generally not allowed in this country these days, especially by men when it comes to any matter relating to women and families.
Baldwin was almost certainly protesting at the wrong person and in the wrong venue, so his anger was misdirected but also somewhat understandable since his real targets are either very elusive or entirely out of reach. It’s the nature of anger that it has a tendency to pop out in unprofitable directions. It’s sorta like the U.S. and how we can’t get to Bin-Laden so we strike out at Saddam Hussein and Iraq instead.
Since father’s rights is the civil rights issue of our time, but not widely recognized as such, it’s likely this episode will be personalized and psychologized as is usually done to obscure any larger societal situation rather than illuminate it.
Baldwin is just the tippy-top of a very large iceberg. If we could only make him go away the problem would seem to be ’solved’ and we could get on with the longstanding American tradition of ignoring the structural and systemic causes of personal problems.
April 22nd, 2007 at 12:36 pm
I see that Agent Reyes has still not Bowed to the International Law of the Liberl UN and the Fact of its existence, and persists in his cannibalizaton of his Liberal mouth peice Mr. Baldwin.
The reek and stench of his hypocrisy is overwhelming. It makes the Marxist Rot in his Brain starkly evident.
April 23rd, 2007 at 7:39 am
Mr. Reyes is one more clueless man who has never experienced the pain and frustration of being involuntarily separated from your child(ren). Apparently, he also has no clue about the realities of parenting.
I don’t think I had one childhood friend who wasn’t at one time or another called a name by their parents in anger. This doesn’t make it right, but it hardly rises to Mr. Reyes proclamation that it is “child abuse”…what an utter absurdity. Shoot, behind their backs, we all called our parents names too. Maybe we were juvenile delinquents?
This past weekend, I called my 16 year old an “arrogant, know-it-all”. I feel no guilt…he has been an arrogant, know-it-all. So was I when I was 16. My parents never hesitated to call me on it. At least I grew up and stopped being an arrogant, know-it-all. Unfortunately, not everyone does.
I am no fan of Alec Baldwin. His politics make it clear that he is an idiot. Regardless, he is the Father of this child, and I’ll leave it up to him to decide if his 11 year old has been acting like a “disgusting pig” and needs to be called on it. Alec should agree to let me decide if my child needs to be called an “arrogant, know-it-all”.
This situation is the result of a family court system that has bent over backwards to support a Mother at the expense of a child and a Father. The mere fact that this voicemail was left during a “scheduled” phone call should make everyone sick to their stomach. What kind of messed up world do we live in when a Dad can only speak with his child at a “scheduled” time? Why do I get the feeling that Mommy dearest has interfered with the “scheduled” phone call many, many times? Why do I get the feeling the the “disgusting pig” has been effectively alientated from her Father and now goes along with her Mother when it comes to avoiding “scheduled” phone calls from Dad?
People like Mr. Reyes will never ask these questions. The answer belies their belief that women are saints and men are evil. The real child abuse in this case most likely occurs at Mom’s hands, but that doesn’t fit with the leftist agenda, so it will continue to be excused.
April 23rd, 2007 at 9:05 am
RPR smugly proclaims:
Again, I repeat, there is absolutely no circumstances under which a father is justified in calling his 11-year-old daughter a “rude thoughtless pig.â€
Let’s say, for a moment, that you took your daughter a mexican restaurant and she started throwing food around and yelling racial obscenities at the workers. Would you lose your temper and call her a bad name in an effort to get her to shut up OR would you show her love and understanding?
Based upon your intolerance for other people’s opinions on this forum, the former is more likely the latter.
FYI: I think Baldwin is a leftist ass and he’s getting some of the medicine that other men have gotten for years and now he’s going to get stamped down like Imus. Good. The free pass that Clinton enjoyed for so long to break the rules of leftism apparently doesn’t extend to anyone else.
April 23rd, 2007 at 10:45 am
Alert the MEdia Agent Reyes holds no justification.
This is becuase he is so dripping of Feminism from his infection and diseased mind.
The whole matter shows that the Marxist Materialsits have derstroyed society by chaining the active culture (Men) to inaction.
First, it was the permissivness of the Marxist Dr. Spock who said, do not spank the child.
So the active parenting in Masculine form is chained.
Then it was watch your language.
So then the active Masculine is censored.
Now it is, watch your tone.
So the active Masculine is not allowed to have imperitive and no right to discontent.
But Agent Reyes can call other people’s children Brats.
I am sure that Agent Reyes was raised in keeping with the precepts of Marxist Spock.
His duality and subsequent insanity proves it.
Hopefully it is exercising its right to abortion to keep other human beings it might create from being born into its infection.
April 23rd, 2007 at 10:59 am
Whereas I disagree with RPR on most issues, I have to agree with him on this one. Where to start on Alec Baldwin’s dumb, self-serving behavior???
First, he’s in New York while his child is in LA. And apparently he is away so frequently that he has appointed times to call her instead of making time to see her face to face. Hmmmm.
As a non-custodial father of two who fought (mostly unsuccessfully) for every minute of time I ever had with my two daughters, I would never have dreamed of being that far away from them on that kind of continuing basis. But apparently it’s OK with Alec to be gone wherever and whenever he feels like it. No thought to reducing his travel and work schedule to make more face to face time with his daughter. Maybe turning down an offer or two and working solely out of LA while his daughter is growing up? Three thousand miles for however any weeks or months at a time? Sure, no problem.
I also would not argue that his phone message is anything close to appropriate. “Stupid” and “selfish” would be the words I would use to describe it.
Having said all of that, I would hasten to add that the legal system is so one-sided in favor of mothers, so bent on separating fathers from their children, so deferential to mothers no matter their behavior, that I can understand Baldwin’s anger. In my view, it was probably instigated and well-earned by Basinger.
My guess is that Baldwin is probably being accurate when he says that his daughter would never pull these kinds of stunts on her mother. And she wouldn’t do these kinds of things to her mother because she is emotionally closer to her mother, thanks mainly to a female-friendly divorce system that allows the daughter and mother to see one another every day, living in the same house. If the gender roles were reversed and Basinger had to suffer the kinds of insults, indignations, misogyny and bias that Baldwin has had to suffer through, I think she would be acting very similarly. Of course because she’s a mom she will never have to experience those things and we’ll never know.
Baldwin is going through the pain of parental alienation. Part of the reason for that is that is because he chooses to be 3000 miles away from his daughter on an ongoing basis, as I said. But in my experience mothers involved in bitter divorces encourage this kind of emotional distancing as a means of exacting revenge. With impunity. I have no doubt that Basinger is involved as well.
In the end, I think the court will behave as family courts normally do in these cases. Baldwin will be punished, and Basinger will be let off scot free.
