4:00

I dispute his contention that I broke

4:02

his nose or caused any other facial

4:04

damage." So the actor was

4:06

brought up on misdemeanor battery charges, but

4:08

he was later acquitted. And he and

4:10

Zanger then both took this to the civil

4:13

arena. They filed civil claims against each other.

4:16

Baldwin filed a suit for invasion of

4:18

privacy, negligence, and distress. Zanger

4:20

sued for assault, battery, emotional distress,

4:23

and loss of income. The

4:25

jury in that case found that both of

4:27

them were negligent, but they didn't award Alec

4:29

Baldwin damages. No, they just lowered the recovery

4:31

amount for Zanger, so it netted him $4,500

4:34

in damages, and

4:37

that was the end of that case. But

4:39

moving forward, let's go back to

4:41

Kim Basinger. So she filed for

4:43

divorce from Alec Baldwin in 2001,

4:46

and the two spent the next several

4:48

months fighting over custody of their only

4:50

child. Eventually, they

4:53

agreed on a 50-50 custody agreement

4:55

after spending a reported $3 million

4:59

on legal proceedings. And this

5:01

dispute and this ongoing battle led

5:04

Alec Baldwin to show his support for

5:06

equal rights for fathers dealing with custody

5:08

issues. In fact, he wrote a book

5:11

titled A Promise to Ourselves, a Journey

5:13

through Fatherhood and Divorce, and

5:15

he told ABC News' Diane Sawyer, quote,

5:18

I don't care if the judges and the lawyers

5:20

die of heart attacks in the process of getting

5:22

their job done. They are

5:24

corrupt, inefficient, lazy, stupid. They're

5:27

the most god-awful people. The

5:29

judges are like pit bosses in Vegas

5:32

casinos. Their job is to

5:34

make sure everybody stays at the table and

5:36

keeps gambling. Plug in a

5:39

Hyundai EV and the extraordinary happens. From the charge

5:41

6:36

there's joy in every journey. Now

6:38

things were relatively quiet over the

6:41

next few years. Well there

6:43

was in 2011 when Alec Baldwin was

6:46

reportedly kicked off an American Airlines flight

6:48

for not turning his phone off before takeoff.

6:50

He said he was playing words with friends.

6:53

He later issued an apology. Anyway let's go

6:55

to 2012. So this

6:57

time Baldwin and his current wife, Alaria,

6:59

they were coming out of Manhattan's marriage

7:01

license bureau and Marcus Santos, a photographer

7:04

for the New York Daily News, says

7:06

that Alec Baldwin shoved him and another

7:08

photographer and even punched him. While

7:11

representative for Baldwin refuted this account telling

7:13

People Magazine quote, "...as Alec

7:15

and his fiance were leaving city hall, a

7:18

civilian walking in front of Alec and

7:21

himself to obstruct the view of a photographer

7:23

aggressively trying to shoot the couple. The

7:25

photographer was clearly frustrated, pushed past

7:28

the bystander and assaulted Alec with

7:30

his camera. There were no punches

7:33

thrown and any subsequent physical contact

7:35

was simply Alec protecting himself." Well

7:38

a short time later, Baldwin was

7:40

accused of getting into an altercation

7:42

with another photographer this time outside

7:44

of his Manhattan apartment, allegedly telling

7:46

him to shut up, leave his

7:48

neighborhood and calling him a little

7:50

girl. And we'll get

7:52

more into the paparazzi and police a

7:54

little bit later, but now we have

7:56

to talk about something else. We have to

7:59

talk about this very, very... bizarre case

8:01

in Alec Baldwin's legal history where

8:04

Alec Baldwin was the victim. 41

8:06

year old Genevieve Sabarin,

8:09

a Canadian actress, was

8:11

accused of stalking him. So

8:13

the two met during a movie shoot back in 2000 and in 2010

8:18

Baldwin says he took Sabarin out to dinner to

8:20

give her career advice as a favor to a

8:22

friend. That friend, Scarface

8:24

producer Martin Bergman, seemed

8:27

to suggest that Baldwin was cheating

8:29

on his wife with Sabarin. Baldwin

8:32

has always denied that he was ever

8:34

intimate with Sabarin but she

8:36

says that this dream date did end

8:38

with a sexual encounter and a bunch

8:40

of promises from Alec Baldwin. The two

8:43

reportedly emailed back and forth for two

8:45

years although Sabarin says the emails are

8:47

proof of relationship. Baldwin says

8:50

he was just being nice in replying.

8:52

Baldwin claimed that Sabarin flew into a

8:55

rage when she learned that he was

8:57

engaged to Alaria and insisted that she

8:59

marry him instead. So Sabarin would barrage

9:01

Baldwin with text messages and late night

9:04

voicemails and she reportedly showed up at

9:06

Baldwin's New York City home numerous times

9:08

and came to public events that he

9:10

was attending. Alaria eventually called

9:13

police when Sabarin showed up outside

9:15

their apartment. So she

9:17

was criminally charged and in 2013 the

9:19

case went before a New York judge.

9:21

Baldwin ended up taking the stand. He

9:24

described a nightmarish ordeal with this obsessed

9:26

stalker. In fact, he became emotional when

9:28

he described this one incident that was

9:31

shortly after he became engaged to Alaria.

9:34

Quote, I got home the day of getting engaged

9:36

to my wife. The defendant pulled up to my

9:38

house in a car. It was a rainy day.

9:41

My wife and I were sitting in the living room. She

9:43

started to get out of the car and held

9:45

up my hand to say, wait, my

9:48

wife was worried and I was worried this very

9:50

thing would happen. I told my wife

9:52

not to come to the door. I didn't know

9:54

if she had a gun or a weapon and

9:56

I called the police. And

9:59

during these proceedings, Saburin

10:02

reportedly interrupted

10:04

by screaming at Baldwin that he was a liar,

10:07

even reportedly saying, why is he

10:09

crying? And she also apparently

10:12

yelled insults at Alaria. Well,

10:14

in the end, a judge

10:16

found Saburin guilty of several

10:18

misdemeanors stalking, harassment, attempted aggravated

10:21

harassment. She was also convicted of violating

10:23

an order of protection that was put in place

10:25

back in 2012 by sending

10:27

Alaria threatening messages on Twitter. And

10:30

the judge sentenced Saburin to 210 days in jail. Wow.

10:34

But now let's go back to Alec Baldwin's

10:36

run-in with photographers, because it didn't end back

10:38

then. No. Over

10:40

the next couple of years, there were more

10:43

reports of Baldwin clashing with photographers out in

10:45

New York. He allegedly pinned one paparazzo against

10:47

a car in 2013, but when

10:49

police got there, both men decided to

10:51

not move forward with charges. Also

10:54

in 2013, Baldwin apologized after

10:56

calling a photographer a homophobic

10:58

slur. Baldwin would

11:00

write on Twitter after the incident that,

11:02

quote, I apologize and will retire it

11:04

from my vocabulary. In 2014, a

11:07

New York City police officer stopped and

11:09

arrested Alec Baldwin for riding his bicycle

11:12

the wrong way down Fifth Avenue

11:14

in Manhattan. The officer said

11:16

he asked Baldwin for his ID, but Baldwin

11:18

reportedly didn't hand it over. He

11:21

was hit with two summonses. He was given two

11:23

summonses, one for biking the wrong way, another

11:25

for disorderly conduct. Baldwin tweeted

11:27

about the incident, saying, Officer

11:29

Moreno, badge number 23388, arrested

11:33

me and handcuffed me for going

11:35

the wrong way on Fifth Avenue.

11:37

Meanwhile, photographers outside my home once

11:40

again terrified my daughter and nearly

11:42

hit her with a camera. The police

11:44

did nothing. New York City

11:46

is a mismanaged carnival of stupidity

11:48

that is desperate for revenue and

11:50

anxious to criminalize behavior once

11:52

thought benign. So

11:54

in the end here, Baldwin was granted

11:57

a conditional pardon. The charges were eventually

11:59

dropped. and in very

12:01

interesting twist, the judge actually told

12:03

Baldwin to be a good boy

12:05

from now on. Well, I

12:07

don't know if that lasted because then we go to

12:09

November 2018 where Baldwin was

12:12

arrested for allegedly punching a man after

12:14

the dispute over a parking

12:16

space. An NYPD spokesperson said

12:18

that at the time that Baldwin was

12:20

charged with assault and harassment. The

12:23

alleged victim said he was hit by the actor

12:25

in the face, had to be transported to Lennox

12:27

Hill Hospital. Then we go to January 2019, Baldwin

12:30

ended up pleading guilty to harassment. He was ordered to pay

12:32

a $120 fine and take anger management classes. Months

12:37

later, the victim filed a lawsuit for

12:39

assault against Alec Baldwin who countersued with

12:41

a defamation lawsuit claiming that, you know

12:44

what, he actually didn't hit the man,

12:46

he just pushed him. By

12:48

January 2022, both men agreed to resolve

12:50

the matter, to settle it, and the

12:52

terms of that agreement were confidential.

12:55

Which brings us of course to 2021,

12:57

the shooting on the Rust film set.

13:00

Alec Baldwin who is now 66 years

13:02

old will face off against New

13:04

Mexico prosecutors in his quest to

13:07

prove he shouldn't be held criminally

13:09

responsible for the death of Helena

13:11

Hutchins. And as I keep

13:13

saying, we will of course be following this

13:15

trial very closely for you here on Sidebar,

13:18

bringing you all the biggest updates from the

13:20

courtroom.
