Baldwin was taken to Lenox Hill Hospital before being released just hours later. A source told AP that he had threatened to take pills.
Labeling the situation nothing more than a misunderstanding, Basinger added that he didn't know why Ireland was worried Baldwin would harm himself.
"It was a simple little thing, a misunderstanding," Basinger says about his niece's decision to call for help.
Baldwin and Ireland "talk all the time," he says, adding that the two "talk all the time."
