Character wise, Alec is Dog’s Dirt in my opinion, but I don’t think even he’d do something like that. He’s not that hard up for cash, plus ex-wife Kim Bassinger would have his head on a platter.
She’s known for being very protective of Ireland.
You insult dogs.
Cash wouldn’t have been the issue. Access to his friends’ daughters would have been the issue. I agree that KB would have gutted him like a fish...unless she didn’t want to drag Ireland through the whole ordeal. If it were true, and she pushed the issue, Alec would be in danger of losing contact with his new family.
