Good post. I have been following this saga for many years, and it appears that Kim is using the child as leverage. It's just sad. I remember them when they were married and new parents. They just seemed so happy. And when she won the Oscar, he just seemed so proud!! What happened to them? I don't like the way Alec spoke to his daughter, but it was private, and the whole world does not need to know this. He's always had a temper, but this doesn't justify what he said. But then again, anyone who is a parent has likely said unkind things to their kids. And if so, there is no need to comment on his rant. I hope that he will go to counseling, and Kim needs to go also. The father of her child should not be treated as an outcast.
