Father of the Year: Alec Baldwin
The Fight for a Man's Rights
Alec Baldwin's marriage to Kim Basinger has been on the fritz for some time now, and it's been one of those things that tends to play out in the press. I guess the two of them live in different areas and stay pretty busy, so there's been an issue as far as when and where Alec gets to see their. A couple of years ago, he had to take her to court for violating his visitation rights.
Alec Baldwin always seemed like a nice enough guy on TV talk shows and hosting Saturday Night Live. But to hear Kim Basinger tell it, he can all of a sudden flip out and go into his character from Glengarry Glen Ross. (Which would be a nice ability to have!) But you know how it is once you get divorced from a broad. Next thing you know, out comes all these stories about shit you supposedly did.
Come to find out though, there may have been more truth to Kim Bassinger's assertion than we'd like to think. The other day, an audio recording of angry message he left on his daughter's phone was somehow leaked to the media, and damn it if it isn't some shit right out of Glengarry Glen Ross. Listening to it, I damn near expected him to start going on about how much his BMW costs.
Audio of the phone message:
So now he's gotta go to court again to see if he can maintain joint custody.
Here's my thing:
a) Granted, the girl's only 12 (or 11) years old, but we don't know what she said or did to cause this.
b) I definitely hear parents (especially mothers) saying worse shit than that to their kids all the time at the BGM.
c) How did this shit leak anyway? You shouldn't have to go to court over some shit that was supposed to be private in the first place. That unconstitutional.
