Alec Baldwin . . daughter . . phone call

[James]

So do you guys think that Alec Baldwin should be prevented from seeing his daughter because he told her off?

The recording, in which Baldwin called his daughter a "rude, thoughtless pig," and accused her of deliberately missing his scheduled phone call, was one of the subjects of discussion Wednesday at a closed-door hearing regarding the actor's visitation rights with the child.

Upon hearing the message, a family court judge ordered Baldwin to temporarily cease all contact with the child pending a May 4 hearing.

I hope the kid tells a judge she wants to live with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

Well said, my Vancity friend.

I understand Bassinger violated a court order to release that recording... If the judge wanted to make a point, he'd put her in the clink for a few days.

From the sound of that tape, out of context, it's pretty damning. Since the court suspended his visitation privileges, it's a safe assumption that even in context, it's pretty damning. That father-daughter relationship probably needs some professional intervention at this point. From the sound of things, mom is using the daughter as a vehicle to hurt dad, and dad, being a jackass happily obliges.

That doesn't only happen in celebrity divorces.... "Little people" do that all the time as well.

anger management classes should appear on alec's to do list.

I don't care how out of context people might take this tape, no one should talk to a 12-year old child that way --no matter how spoiled they may be!
