Basinger Responds To Baldwin Comments

(September 19, 2006) — It’s been nearly six years since Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger split but the drama continues!

Kim Basinger and her lawyer, Neal Hersh, respond today to Access Hollywood regarding comments that her ex-husband, Alec Baldwin, made in the most recent issue of GQ magazine.

Basinger tells Access, “I am appalled by the statements made by Alec Baldwin in GQ. I am sickened by the fact that somebody can speak this way about another human being. My lawyers, Judy Bogen and Neal Hersh, have done nothing but fight to protect my daughter and me from this vile behavior. After reading this article, everybody will finally see what I’ve known and experienced for many years.”

And Hersh adds, “As the NY Post article says, ‘Alec Baldwin just can’t keep his bitter anger about ex-wife Kim Basinger – or her pack of pit-bull lawyers – bottled up.’ His recent statements in GQ show that he continues to be out of control. This is precisely what Kim has been fighting against all these years. Alec Baldwin needs to get over his divorce from Kim, which happened 6 years ago, and stop these relentless attacks against Kim and those associated with her.”

The trading of barbs follows a vicious and well-publicized battle over visitation rights for their ten-year-old daughter, Ireland.

Alec said to GQ: “I remember lying in bed, thinking I wanted to die on the spot…I would go to bed, and I would say, ‘Please don’t let me wake up. I can’t face another day.’”
