‘He’s a Challenge,’ Kim Basinger says of her ‘heavy-duty’ divorce from Alec Baldwin on RTT.

The episode of Red Table Talk with Kim Basinger and Ireland Baldwin is now available on Facebook Watch.

Kim Basinger has spoken up about her divorce from Alec Baldwin and the impact it had on their daughter, Ireland Baldwin.

Basinger, 68, and Alec, 64, “went through a heavy-duty, very out loud when you’re in the public, divorce,” she remarked on Wednesday’s episode of Facebook Watch’s Red Table Talk with Ireland.

“And [Ireland] had to go through that ery difficukt period,” she continued.

When co-host Jada Pinkett Smith asked Basinger about co-parenting Ireland, 26, with Alec in the midst of the model’s anxiety difficulties, Basinger joked that she and her ex didn’t see “eye to eye.”

“Uh, no. No, that was not – Alec’s a funny one,” she went on. “We’re all fine and we all get along, whatever. But he’s been — but he’s a challenge.”

Basinger, who was married to Alec from 1993 until 2002, went on to say, “I mean, come on. 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 said.

After Ireland chimed in saying her dad “deals with anxiety greatly,” her mother added, “Himself, yeah.”

Alec’s father, according to Ireland, is the oldest of his seven children (he has an eighth on the way – his seventh with wife Hilaria Baldwin) “Someone who grew up in such a family would also repress that. Alternatively, you may tell him he’s weak for feeling that way.”

When PEOPLE contacted Alec’s publicist, he had no reaction.

When Ireland was seven years old, Basinger and Alec divorced. In 2016, the former Bond girl told Net-A-The Porter’s Edit, “Divorce is hard on a kid, no matter how you cut it. And ours was very public and nasty.”
