Kim Basinger has now claimed her divorce from actor Alec Baldwin had been “heavy-duty” and the former couple didn’t always see eye to eye in a new interview.
The 68-year-old actress, who divorced Baldwin in 2002, also admitted the former couple faced “challenges” during their nine-year marriage.
Basinger was sitting alongside their daughter Ireland Baldwin, both of whom had joined Jada Pinkett-Smith for an episode of Red Table Talk this week.
During the show, Basinger detailed her past relationship with Baldwin and referred to their separation as “heavy-duty, very out loud when you’re in the public, divorce.”
She then claimed their relationship was sometimes fraught suggesting the actor wasn’t “emotionally or mentally available”.
Basinger added: “Alec’s a funny one, we’ve had our challenges and I don’t think Alec was emotionally or mentally available for that kind of talk.”
“Alec, you know, operates in a very different way in his life,” she continued.

Kim Basinger at 70: her two divorces, being sued by Hollywood and her agoraphobia battle
In 1999, Kim appeared in the HBO documentary Panic, where she discussed her panic disorder, and how she developed agoraphobia and was unable to leave her house for six months after having a panic attack while in a store. Speaking about how it began when she was at school, she explained a situation where a teacher asked her to speak in class, explaining: "I stood up and I was shaking, and my mouth wouldn't move, and everybody stared at me, and I thought I was going to faint. I ran out of the classroom. It was horrible."
Speaking about her experiences with panic disorder, she continued: "I remember how lonely I felt, and how in need of help I was. And for a length of time, I couldn't find it."
She was helped by a clinical psychologist, Dr Ronald Doctor, but it had a profound effect on her life. She said: "Dr. Doctor - he gave me a new start in this life. I even had to learn how to drive again.
