I love Kim and it seems she is getting the short end of the stick. Of course it’s always sad when two people break up and there is a kid involved. But “Alec should have tried to work it out with his bomb shell of a wife that looks like she hasn’t age a bit.” Talk about a beautiful woman; Kim should show her face more in show-biz, and make more movies.

I think Alec drags her down in every way. Kim is to good for him. And he should be ashamed of himself to talk to what is supposed to be the most important women in life, (his wife and his daughter). No wonder their breaking up, probably we just got a glimpse of what he’s really like when the cameras are not rolling … mentally Abusive towards Kim. “I feel Alec has got issues with his temper.” And perhaps that is why we witness that flare up with his daughter. He may have once been a nice looking man in his younger years, but now he looks like a warn out boozer; that made Kim start to drink also because of all the trouble he probably gave her while being married to him. So I’m for Kim. Poor Kim

I am 100% on Alec’s side. I too am a parent, or was a parent until her bio father had her taken away from me due to my depression., after i raised her as a single mom for the first 9 yrs of her life, with her father in and out of her life, now he has taking everything from me. She has been so brainwashed the past 3 yrs that she doesn’t even want to see me. How fair is this ??

I do believe that Kim is keeping Alec from his daughter because she is jealous. How many men want to be in their kid(s) life. Kim needs to grow up and start acting like the adult she claim she is.

There is a dark,sinister,vengeful cloud hanging over “maledom”. Men in general and fathers in particular, are seemingly resigned and acquiescent to the impending consequences.

Whether or not it is the intention of society, the “parental rights” of men are treated with scant if any regard. Make no mistake because there is none. Deference is overwhemingly granted in favour of mothers, in cases of access, visitation and custody.

The human male is caught in frustrating cycle that threatens generations of sons. All of society is well aware of the “sins” of the fathers; aware of a time when male dominance and control led to some reprehensible behavior on the part of men. But society has changed significantly. Laws have changed. Women’s rights have changed. Men’s dominance have appropriately been eroded, in an attempt to bring women up to par. But now the pendulum have swung too far. It even threatens to recreate, that which it attempted to correct.

But enough lament. Men, brothers, sons and fellow fathers; UNITE AND CLAIM YOUR FATHERHOOD. Rally behind ALEC BALDWIN. Far too many of us, have way too much in common with him. The only silver lining in this dark cloud is: he is a celebrity and can put the spotlight on our judicial mistreatment, personal frustrations and society’s apathy to our plight.

Now, as for you Mr. Baldwin, not that I am the most qualified to be scolding you: HOLD THAT TONGUE OF YOURS. I empathise with you. I have been there. Many of us are there right now. Unless we unite and campaign against our mistreatment and the manipulation of our children, many more of us will be there.

Despite the disparity in our status, in terms of celebrity and fortune, our plight is the same. I you did not care for your daughter, you would not even be in this situation. You would have simply walked away and become an absentee father. If I did not care for my two kids, I would not have taken the time to write this comment.

Having experienced two divorces in California where children were involved - it was ALWAYS about their, the children’s, emotional wellness. Having watched Mr. Baldwin on the View today, it was ALWAYS about him. He blahed, blahed, blahed all about HIM even going so far as interupting Barbara over and over and over again! He never once stepped up to the plate, as a real, concerned father would do, and totally admit that he was wrong; totally wrong. And his excuse = “It was directed to the wrong person” - well, Mr. Baldwin - is this ANY WAY TO conduct yourself with any one? You have ALWAYS exhibited loud, agressive, verbal, egotistical, all about YOU behavior; Ireland has been a party of this through your own actions and your “pity poor me” excuses. Many fathers have gone through struggles to share in the journeys of their children - and they manage to PUT THE CHILD FIRST AND ACT IN SUCH A MANNER THAT ENCOURAGES COURTS, JUDGES, ETC. to help bring joint custodies a realization. Are you seeking Dr. Phil’s help just to blah, blah, blah on tv and bring more discomfort to your precious daughter? You truly need help and away from the “acting” scene that you exhibited today on the View!

God be with Ireland and Kim who has behaved in an adult fashion before the public. Perhaps Mr. Baldwin, you should really explore who leaked the voice message - hmm could it be Ireland once and for all to make you realize that she is NOT the whipping post for her Mother!!!

Although the interview helped me to again “like” him and feel sympathy for him in his bitter custody and visitation fight, I was left wondering, what DID this child actually DO to cause him to say such horrible words to her, especially to call her the word “Pig”? He made me understand what he’s been going through with that WITCH Kim Bassinger, and I totally feel for him there, but…. he called the child “Pig”, I can’t get past that.

It is unfortunate that Alec lost his temper, but I chalk his anger up to being extremely hurt, which is sad for him AND for his daughter. My parents were divorced, but my dad was rarely around, and never called and chewed me out for anything because he didn’t care. Alec cares. That is why he is so passionate about talking to his daughter, curses or no.

Because things have gotten so out of hand with Kim, he now has to SCHEDULE calls with his girl. If that schedule is not adhered to, he is subjected to NO contact with his daughter, which makes him feel out of control and was, I’m sure, the ‘cause of his meltdown.

I hope, for the sake of the child, that these parents will come to their senses and learn to be civil. It’s EXTREMELY important to the child’s future self-esteem. Trust me! Peace to Alec.

Lauren..What makes you an authority on behavior? i agree with rosie .and i beleive kim set him up, she knows his low threshold for temper & i believe she instigated this whole thing

Basinger is obviously a nut case. I usually don’t speak in these terms, but I’m starting to think that’s what it takes to get people to understand. I know Alec Baldwin personally, which is more than most people can say. He is a kind sensitive and considerate man. I am an old soldier, so I think I’m qualified to know when someone is violent, I am sometimes violent, I think I am MORE than qualified to know when someone is violent. It was my job. Listen to me carefully, Alec Baldwin is not violent in any way! This woman, who I don’t know, and won’t care to know is mentally unballanced. I frankly don’t care if anyone doesn’t likes what I’m saying, I’m not as nice and kind a person as Alec is, not even close, but I do tell the Truth, Always! Wake up up and realize, Alec is a nice guy married a girl who isn’t so nice. Now they have a child who is caught in the middle. Many years ago he helped me through a difficult time with a deep sensitivity which doesn’t dissappear with age or fame, it makes me sick to see people judgeing someone they have had no contact with. I’m not the world’s nicest person, but he took the time, and showed me a compasion I have seldom seen in my 60 years of living in this Selfish world. This woman is lying, my life in the past depended on my ability to see this, and I can guarantee you, this is so, she is attempting to destroy him in a very evil and vile fashion, I can only excuse this as mental illness.She needs professional help,not her daughter, at least for the moment. Don’t punish a very good man for a sick woman’s lies! Don’t think you know more than you do! I have nothing to gain in all this, just trying to pay back a kindness to a man I knew long ago who took the time to help a man in psychological distress, and it pains and angers me that so many of you righteous hypocrites would judge a man you do not know. Lighten up and think!

I think its time for extra to stop showing that stuff.Why would you want to hurt a 11 year old like that and put it on Tv? I also think Kim sent it.How could that get out if it wasn’t her? Think about it.Thats sad that she would do that to her daughter. What kind of mom is that?I think it makes kim and Extra look bad not Alec. As for Alec EVERYONE can go off on there kids.Thats part of bein a Dad. No it did not sound good but WE ALL DO IT. Maybe in other ways but WE ALL get mad at are kids. It should be between them not the U.S.A. There are always 2 sides and we only got 1 side. It was ment to make him look bad. Thats what Kim was trying to do. Well I think it makes Kim look bad.We now know who Kim is.

I seem to remember when Kim and Alec brought baby Ireland home from the hospital after her birth Alec punched out a camera man for taking their pictures. Maybe more goes on behind closed doors than everyone knows. I don’t know either one of them but it seems to me Alec has a temper problem and that can be one of the reason Kim doesn’t want him.

A father like that should not have custody ever, especially to a female. He is abusive, regardless. Mother’s don’t use the children, they sacrifice their lives, labor pain, etc. only to discover Dad’s mean streaks are unbearable….and the thought comes to mind does this person “deserve” to be a father? Rarely, is it a woman wrecking a family!!!!!

I was commenting on this quote:

“I have to admit; I have cursed at my kids sometimes,” Rosie admitted on Monday morning’s “The View.”

Um, I must admit, I can TOTALLY see Rosie cussing at her kids. Has anyone checked in on their welfare? Why does Kelli Carpenter allow Rosie to verbally abuse their children in this way? Some people should never be allowed to adopt… It’s sad.

He is a joke! He did say he was going to leave the country if bush won. It just shows you that hollywood celebrities are all full of crap. I guess that anger therapy didn’t help did it?? Who would be dumb enough to leave a voice mail like that. Does he not know that it is recorded?

You can’t believe anything Alec says, remember he promised to move to another country if George Bush won the Presidency. President Bush has won twice and Alec has yet to leave the Country for good. Maybe if he had left, this problem would not have happened. Did he think people really cared if he left. The USA would be a lot better off if he left and maybe he could take Rosie with him.

As I wonder daily how my kids are? I can only wait till their old enough to decide on their own if they wish for me to be apart of there life. Being a sailor it was my job to go to sea and protect. My wife found her way with other men, if you don’t wish to be a military wife don’t marry into the military family and destory a person life. America family courts give to much credit to the women in matter where some father just wish to do their best and the mom is out to do as much harm to a father/daughter/son relationship and most times they win. If you finds this hard to believe go check out your local jail/juvenile hall. Shes just another britney/paris/lohan in the makings. Now lets count down till she goes to rehab.

I am shocked at the support for Alec.
Kim obviously knows what he is really like and is trying to protect her daughter.

JESUS HEALS THE BROKENHEARTED;AND BINDS UP THEIR WOUNDS. They all need God in their lives. Alex, go to church with your younger brother and you can be healed of your anger and rage. Kim you need to forgive Alex for the pain he has caused you.Ireland; Jesus loves you, and so do your parents… They are just in ALOT OF PAIN and the enemy of their souls is trying to destroy their minds. Cry out to the Lord, He can make peace and bring it to the point where your parents can even be friends.TRUST IN GOD. IN PSLAMS 27 THE WORD SAYS- “WHEN MY MOTHER AND MY FATHER FORSAKE ME, THE LORD WILL BE WITH ME ALWAYS”…Your parents are failing you now and people most often will.. But God will NEVER FAIL YOU.. Put your trust in HIM and pray pray for your mom and dad to be redeemed.. in Jesus, Liz

I’m on Irelands side. Her Mother and her Father are both equally to blame for putting her through this disgusting mess.
