Kim Basinger Ordered to Court
A judge has ordered actress Kim Basinger to appear in court and answer accusations that she disobeyed court orders.
The matter deals with visitation rights for her and ex-husband Alec Baldwin’s daughter Ireland, reports the BBC.
Court documents claim that the 52-year-old Basinger didn’t tell Baldwin she was working away from home during a period in 2005, not allowing Baldwin to care for their daughter while she was away.
According to Basinger’s lawyer, the claims are “nothing more than continued harrassment.”
“These allegations are specious and Kim looks forward to her vindication,” said attorney Neal Hersh.
The two split in 2000, and, in 2004, agreed to share parenting responsibilities for Ireland. Since then, however, the former couple have gotten into a number of legal battles over the issue.
To sort out this latest entanglement, Basinger will have to appear in Los Angeles Superior Court on October 4.
