Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger's daughter didn't talk to them for a year.
Kim Basinger, who made a guest appearance onalongside her daughter, went through what she described as a"heavy duty" divorce from Ireland's father, Alec Baldwin, in 2002. Ireland was just seven years old and began experiencing anxiety around that time, although as she explained on the episode,"I didn't really want to call it anxiety for a long time."
Struggles with body image followed, beginning even before she started modeling at age 17, and were heightened as critics constantly compared her looks, figure, and weight with her mother's."It ruined my brain," she said of her modeling experience.
Ultimately, all of these issues led her to detach from her loved ones."I had isolated all of my real friends, isolated my family. I had no control in anything in my life," she confessed."I tortured myself with my eating disorders… I didn't talk to my parents for like a year. I saw them here and there. But I was so ashamed of what I had become and how I was living, and I just became this different person.
