Kim Basinger Bites Back
The Gossip Girls have an update regarding the drama surrounding Alec Baldwin’s voicemail tirade on his daughter. For those of you in the dark on this one, actor Alec Baldwin called his 11-year-old daughter names and lost his temper when she didn’t answer her phone. They had planned a time to talk, and she wasn’t available at the time they had set.
The voicemail was made public by TMZ and was quickly spread around the globe. The kicker is that now Baldwin’s ex-wife, Kim Basinger, is denying that she leaked the tape.
"Kim Basinger did not release the voicemail. Additionally, the voicemail was not sealed under a court order,” said the actress’s publicist, Annett Wolf yesterday.
The Los Angeles Superior Court ordered Baldwin to steer clear of his daughter until a hearing scheduled for May 4th. Baldwin, who has been locked in a custody dispute with Basinger since their divorce in 2002, blamed her for the leak on Friday. He also apologized on his own Web site for “losing my temper with my child.”
“Everybody is always asking why this custody battle has been going on for so many years, and now they have the answer. The issue is not about Kim or the alleged alienation that Alec constantly refers to; it is about his ongoing aggressive behavior,” Basinger’s statement said.
“Kim’s sincerest wish is for him to finally address his unstable and irrational behavior so he, at some point, can potentially create a relationship with his daughter,” the statement said. “Until then, Kim will continue to protect and safeguard her child’s well-being as any parent would.”
Basinger is facing trial on 12 misdemeanor counts of criminal contempt for allegedly disregarding court orders concerning Baldwin’s visitation rights.
Also, as seen in the photos below, the actress has hired an around-the-clock bodyguard to keep a watchful eye out for Alec.
