"Yesterday in the late afternoon, I was attacked by a woman who was high out of her mind on drugs and desperate for cash," the star said. "She decked me in my face in a parking lot and took my belongings and jumped in a getaway car while her husband took off."
The woman was "arrested," Baldwin, daughter of actors Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, explained.

The star then explained that she shared her story in an attempt to be helpful for her followers.
