Baldwin Launches Legal Action Over Tape By WENN | Saturday, April 21, 2007
Photo Gallery HOLLYWOOD - Actor Alec Baldwin is taking legal action to find out who leaked an answering-machine message rant he left for his 11-year-old daughter to Web site TMZ.com.
Baldwin has filed Order to Show Cause papers in Los Angeles Superior Court to find out why his ex-wife Kim Basinger and her lawyers should not be held in contempt.
The papers, filed by Baldwin's lawyer Vicki Greene, state: "Petitioner (Basinger) is the only parent with custody, possession and control of the minor child's telephone voicemail message that was dissemination to (TMZ.com founder) Harvey Levin and TMZ.com.
"I do not know how Mr. Levin received any information about the court proceeding that was closed to the public, but again, it had to come from someone connected to the proceeding, and it was not me."
TMZ.com is refusing to comment on how it obtained the recording, in which Baldwin verbally chastises his daughter and calls Basinger "a thoughtless pain in the a*s."
Baldwin's visitation rights for his daughter were temporarily suspended by a California judge earlier this week, after a judge heard the recording.
The judge has already temporarily halted his visitation rights.
Those were the days. Did I give Baldwin an award? I think I did.
That would be impossible.
Somebody need to give this guy a driveby A$$whipping
Racial slur by old white man in the name of a poor attempt at comedy --- bad.
Despicable verbal abuse of an 11-year-old daughter by popular liberal actor --- okay because it's ex-wife's fault.
BTTT
Yes, he did sat TO DEATH.
