Judge Wants Psychologist to Assess Baldwin
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A judge wants a psychologist to evaluate Alec Baldwin to determine whether he is fit to see his 10-year-old daughter more often as part of an ongoing custody battle with former wife Kim Basinger.
Superior Court Commissioner Maren E. Nelson said the question is whether the actor is attempting to turn the couple's child against Basinger.
"Whether that is taking place or not, I cannot determine," Nelson said. "Someone, an evaluator, needs to spend time with Ireland and the parents to work on that issue."
Neither actor attended Friday's court hearing.
Baldwin was given a week to accept the court-appointed psychologist or the judge said she would select another one.
In October, Basinger's attorney said Baldwin suffered from "severe emotional problems" and that he had been accused of domestic violence in the past.
Baldwin, 48, countered in court documents that the 52-year-old Basinger "has a pathological need" to turn their daughter against him. He also sought a psychological evaluation and parenting classes for Basinger.
The acting duo married Aug. 19, 1993. They separated in 2000 and divorced in 2002.
"Uh, that's not what we're asking you to look at, doctor..."
Actually, I think Kim Basinger is crazier than he is (and that's quite a statement) and is using the court system to torture him. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Shame on both of them. She is mom. He is dad. They need to deal with it. I bet the root cause of the whole sh*tbag is money.
Oh pain.
It serves Baldwin right that liberal judges are torturing his sorry (huge) ass.
That should be easy enough.
:)
poor kid. she'll probably turn out like Courtney Love with these 2 moonbats for parents.
LOL, that is funny!
No, I don't think it's money, it's just two bitter people who want to hurt each other. But she's trying to keep his child from him and he won't have any of that. Remember, she was heavy, heavy in debt when they met and he bailed her out. She should at least be civil to him for that. She's had mental problems for a long time and he..well..his are well documented. Just two nuts who unfortunately reproduced.
Nah. Like you said- "Couldn't happen to a nicer guy."
For this he needs a doctor? All he needs to do is look at his flopola movies' ticket sales.
Another Hollyweird 'actor' who didn't follow up on his promise to leave the country if W was elected.
I've heard several Baldwin interviews. I don't need to be a psychiatrist to tell the guy is arrogant as heck and angry besides.
I thought he was going to leave the country!
Probably no other country would take him in (smirk).
ROTFLMAO! This has to be satire.
