After listening to Baldwin cuss out his 12 year old daughter I have hard time liking anything he does.
Well, he was really upset with Basinger, and should have addressed his remarks to his ex. His visitation order only allowed one phone call a week, and it specified a specific day and time. He could not call his daughter on any other day, nor even at any other hour. Basinger's attorney had insisted on this in court, as she did not want to ever have to answer the phone when he called. And she said that allowing him to call at just any time or day would be too inconvenient for her. Yet, when he phoned, no one answered, even though it was the time the court had reserved for him to spend talking to his daughter.
He was obviously upset that he was being prevented from having any contact with his daughter. He just took his frustration out on the wrong person.
While Baldwin did say the words on the tape, it was Basinger who released the tape to the public.
So tell me, who is the one who used the child to their advantage??
Basinger is clearly a far better actor than Baldwin. But is she the better person? I sort of doubt it.
