I am surprised there has been much discussion about Alec Baldwin's rant. He and many others have said far worse things. Remember the Hyde comments? (Jim McGreevey's words and actions are far worse and sound insane.)

However, if I were the mother, I would not have released it since it only further embarrasses the child. But maybe there are things I missed since I have not followed this story closely.

That said, I see nothing wrong that people take an interest in this topic. Gossip provides a distraction from the many tragic stories in the news.

You’re using faulty reasoning. You’re defending the father because you seem to dislike the mother. Maybe they both have problems but that isn’t the issue. The issue here is the father has a history of abuse and violent language. It was the father who threatened to cross the country to do something against the child. That wouldn’t make much of a difference with someone who has shown a loving care for that child. It changes when the person has a history of suspected spousal abuse, threats against public officials and a recorded attack against a photographer. Those facts have to be considered.
