Baldwin contends that after their separation in December 2000, his former wife, Kim Basinger
, endeavored to deny him access to his daughter by refusing to discuss parenting, blocking visitation, not providing telephone access, not following court orders, not dropping their daughter off for reasons of it being inconvenient, and directly lobbying the child. He contends she spent over $1.5 million in the effort.
Baldwin called this parental alienation
syndrome. Baldwin has called the attorneys in the case "opportunists" and has characterized Basinger's psychologists as part of the "divorce industry". He has faulted them more than Basinger, and writes, "In fact, I blame my ex-wife least of all for what has transpired. She is a person, like many of us, doing the best she can with what she has. She is a litigant, and therefore, one who walks into a courtroom and is never offered anything other than what is served there. Nothing off the menu, ever."
Baldwin wrote that he has spent over a million dollars, has had to put time aside from his career, has had to travel extensively, and needed to find a house in California
(he lived in New York), so he could stay in his daughter's life.
Baldwin contended that after seven years of these issues, he hit a breaking point, and left an angry voicemail message in response to another unanswered arranged call in which Baldwin called his daughter a "rude, thoughtless little pig." He contends that the tape was sold to TMZ
, which released the recording despite laws against publishing media related to a minor without the permission of both parents. Baldwin admitted he made a mistake, but asked not to be judged as a parent based on a bad moment. He later admitted to Playboy
in June 2009 that he contemplated suicide
over the voice mail that leaked to the public. Of the incident, he said "I spoke to a lot of professionals, who helped me. If I committed suicide, [ex-wife Kim Basinger's side] would have considered that a victory. Destroying me was their avowed goal."
During the autumn of 2008, Baldwin toured in support of the book, speaking about his experiences related in it.
. He is a animal rights
activist, and a strong supporter of PETA
, for which he has done work that includes narrating the video entitled Meet Your Meat. Baldwin also lent his support to the Save the Manatee Club
by donating his time to record several public service announcements for the group, which had contacted him following his role in "Bonfire of the Manatees
", an episode of The Simpsons
in which he was the voice of a biologist working to save the endangered mammals.
During his appearance on the comedy late night show Late Night with Conan O'Brien
on December 12, 1998, eight days before President Bill Clinton
was to be impeached, Baldwin said, "If we were in another country ... we would stone Henry Hyde
to death and we would go to their homes and kill their wives and their children. We would kill their families, for what they're doing to this country." Baldwin later apologized for the remarks, and the network explained it was meant as a joke and promised not to rerun it.
Regarding the possibility of getting involved in electoral politics, Baldwin said in a 2006 interview with the New York Times that if he did, his preferred office would be the Governor of New York
. When asked if he was qualified for the office, Baldwin responded that he considered himself far more qualified than then California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
. In June 2011, The Daily
reported that Baldwin was mulling a 2013 run for Mayor of New York City
, in the wake of a potential early race shakeup after candidate Congressman Anthony Weiner's sexting
scandal.
In February 2009, Baldwin spoke out to encourage state leaders to renew New York's tax break for the film and television industry, stating that if the "...tax breaks are not reinstated into the budget, film production in this town is going to collapse and television production is going to collapse and it's all going to go to California."
During the 2011 Emmy Awards, Baldwin was slated to appear in a taped skit. However, the producers of the show cut a portion of the skit containing a reference to Rupert Murdoch
and the News International phone hacking scandal. Baldwin told Access Hollywood Live that he asked them not to air his performance. Producers complied and he was replaced with Leonard Nimoy
