HOLLYWOOD - Kim Basinger has reportedly hired around-the-clock protection to keep ex-husband Alec Baldwin from their 11-year-old daughter.
According to the New York Post, the Oscar-winning actress stepped up security around her Los Angeles home after Baldwin called daughter Ireland a "rude, thoughtless little pig" during a recorded telephone conversation.
The actor has since apologized publicly and in private to his daughter after the conversion was leaked on the Internet.
A friend of Baldwin's tells the Post, "This is a desperate plea for sympathy when the only danger to the child is inside her own home.
"What kind of parent leaks a voicemail that causes her daughter significant embarrassment and unneeded attention?"
Baldwin has been barred from seeing his daughter until a May 4 court date.
His spokesman says, "Alec truly cares about the best interests of his daughter."
