Child Custody Battles - Alec Baldwin

The parents: Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger
 
The offspring: Their daughter, Ireland (born in 1995), who also goes by the nickname Addie
 
The scandal: After Basinger and Baldwin split up in 2000, they accused each other of being unfit parents. She said he was emotionally abusive, and he claimed she was mentally unstable. Their legal warfare resulted in a 2004 court judgment of shared custody on the condition that they not violate a gag order that prevents them from publicly talking about the case. In April 2007, an angry voice-mail recording of Alec Baldwin was leaked to the media. In the recording, Baldwin called Ireland “a thoughtless little pig.” As a result of the scandal, his visitation rights were temporarily suspended.
 
The outcome: After Baldwin publicly apologized for his outburst, his visitation rights were restored. His legal team accused Basinger of violating the gag order by leaking the recording, but the allegation was unproven in a court of law. Although the ex-couple has shared custody, the animosity between the two clearly remains.
