Feh. It’s just legal bluster. Baldwin hoisted himself on his own petard. He’s the one who will suffer the worst damage by far. This is out there now, it can’t be brought back, and him having lawyers swarm all over to try and find someone is just a sideshow.
The horse is out of the barn, Alec baby, and there’s no putting it back again.
Even if it was Basinger herself who released the tape, the judge isn’t going to give Baldwin points in the custody battle on account of that.
Sometimes you’ve got to break the rules in order to get justice. Somebody did here. Good for her!
