Daniel Baldwin Swears: My Wife Tried to Kill Me!

Actor Daniel Baldwin has filed a declaration explaining why he recently file for divorce. Short story? His wife threatened to murder him, he says.

Daniel claims wife Joanne once came into the bedroom and said she had just watched a documentary on women who kill their husbands. Nice.

"Now I know how to do it, I understand why they did it," she said. "You have been warned." Daniel says their daughter heard the comment.

"Is Mommy going to kill us?" the girl reportedly asked. According to the declaration, Daniel says Joanne is "highly intoxicated in our home."

"She screams over money," Alec's brother said, "and proceeds to wake both children up by screaming and throwing objects around the house."

Baldwin claims Joanne has punched him in the head, pulled a knife on him, slapped him and hit him in the face with a phone in recent years.

Daniel claims she drinks so much she blacks out, and that the final straw came when Joanne went into a "violent rage" after arguing with her mom.

He says she punched him in the head and face. Police deemed her unfit to care for the kids, telling Daniel to remove them from the house. He did.

He then filed for divorce. Probably not the worst move.
