Scandalous life of famous actor Alec Baldwin

Alexander Rae Baldwin III. He was born on April 3, 1958, in Amityville, New York, as the second of six children of housewife Carol Martina Baldwin and high school professor of sociology and history but also American football coach Alexander Rae Baldwin Jr.

Eldest sister Elizabeth was born three years before Alec, followed by brothers Daniel, and William, then sister Jane, a physical therapist, and then the youngest brother Stephen. All three brothers saw Alec as a role model, so they ended up in Hollywood.

Three major scandals marked his life:

The marriage with Kim Basinger did not end as planned, and everything seemed idyllic at the beginning.

They went to dinner, and he then, as Kim said, first kissed her, and then asked if she wanted to have children with him. She thought he was joking, so she refused his proposal, which followed soon after, but she accepted it a year later, so the couple got married on August 19, 1993. Two years later, on October 23, 1995, they had a daughter, Ireland.

A few years later, the marriage was no longer an idyll, they began to come to events separately. The reasons were, allegedly, that Kim wanted to dedicate herself completely to her career, which she neglected due to the birth of her daughter, so she wanted to move to Hollywood, which Alec didn't even want to hear. The last straw was in 1997 when Kim won the Oscar for "L. A. Confidential", which Alec allegedly had a hard time with, so he almost fell into depression due to jealousy.

The bruises on her face indicated that her husband was beating her, which neither she nor he commented on. The marriage ended in February 2002, but their divorce and the struggle for custody of Ireland, which lasted for years, will be remembered more than the marriage. That is why Baldwin wrote a book in which he denigrated the American judiciary. Fights, Kim's ban on seeing her daughter only for a certain period of time, her alleged incitement of her daughter against him, millions of dollars in expenses, and most of all quarrels with her ex-husband and a message on the answering machine shouting at her daughter…

Scandalous relationship with daughter

A few years ago, the public was surprised by the actor's relationship with the daughter he got during his marriage to his colleague Kim Basinger. A video in which he calls his heiress a "rude thoughtless pig" surfaced while they were fighting for custody. The bruises that Kim had on her face during the marriage indicated that Alec was beating her, which neither she nor he commented on. Alek was arrested several times for violent behavior, and he also had a problem with alcohol.

The murder of a colleague

In October last year, a tragedy shocked the world: during the filming of the independent feature film Rust near Santa Fe, actor Alec Baldwin (63) shot from a prop and accidentally killed the director of photography Halyna Hutchins (42).

His family then wholeheartedly defended him from attacks on social networks, but also during interviews, and one of the loudest was his daughter Ireland. It was speculated that the actor would still have to go to prison, but that did not happen.
