Baldwin-Basinger custody battle heard in secret
A bitter custody feud that saw actor Alec Baldwin lash out at his 11-year-old daughter in a leaked voicemail went hush-hush when a court commissioner ordered lawyers not to talk about the case and closed a hearing to the public moments after it began.
Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Maren Nelson said media coverage of the dispute between Baldwin and Kim Basinger had been “emotionally traumatic” for their daughter, Ireland.
