Ireland Basinger-Baldwin Accused of Looting During Malibu Fire

Ireland Basinger-Baldwin, 23, tweeted on Sunday that she’d been accused of looting when she tried to gather a few things from her Malibu home after evacuating last week.

“Yesterday I spent all day long trying to get back to my place in Malibu to gather a couple of my things before the winds were expected to pick back up,” Basinger-Baldwin began. “An officer at a back way entrance to one of the main canyons that take you over to Malibu stopped us and refused to let us in because I don’t have my Malibu address on my ID,” she continued.

According to Ireland, the officer then began threatening the model.

“Not only was he a d—k, but he had 0 compassion and he literally accused us of being looters and threatened us that we were going to be arrested if we kept giving him trouble,” she wrote. “I understand that he was doing his job, but in times like this when people are losing loved ones and losing their homes, the least you can do is show compassion and be as kind as you can even if you can’t help them.”

Basinger-Baldwin then revealed that her mother had sadly lost her home to the Southern California blaze.
