Alec Baldwin Responds to Leaked Voicemail

Alec Baldwin’s rep has made a statement to Extra! about the angry message he left on his daughter’s voicemail.

Via TMZ:

We’ve learned that on Wednesday, Los Angeles County Superior Court commissioner Maren Nelson heard the tape and temporarily suspended Baldwin’s visitation rights. A hearing is set for May 4, where the judge could permanently deny Baldwin visitation or contact with Ireland [Alec’s daughter].

Calls to Basinger’s attorneys, celebrity lawyers Neal Hersh and Judy Bogen, were not returned.

Baldwin’s lawyer, Vicki Greene, told TMZ, “Whatever happened yesterday was sealed and confidential. What you’re telling me you’ve got you shouldn’t have.”

Alec Baldwin’s spokesperson released the following statement to the TV show “EXTRA”: “In the best interest of the child, Alec will do what the mother is pathologically incapable of doing … keeping his mouth shut and obeying the court order. The mother and her lawyer leaked this sealed material in violation of a court order. Although Alec acknowledges that he should have used different language in parenting his child, everyone who knows him privately knows what he has been put through for the past six years.”

Um, okay, Mr. Spokesperson? You do not rock at your job. It would be one thing if Alec himself had referred to Kim Basinger as “pathologically incapable” of something, but you, my dear, are supposed to be the one responsible for issuing mature-sounding statements to the press in the midst of what appear to be some very immature family court proceedings. Stop and think it through next time.
