Alec Baldwin Drops Out of Father of the Year Contest
2007-04-20
I heard this on the radio coming in this morning. I thought it was the Korean guy...
LOS ANGELES - The festering bad blood between movie-star exes Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger erupted Thursday when an angry phone message from Baldwin to his daughter was made public.
Smart move leaving the voicemail, Al. You know the ex-wife who hates your guts would never use that against you...
On the recording, Baldwin can be heard berating his 11-year-old, Ireland, "You are a rude, thoughtless little pig. You don't have the brains or the decency as a human being," he says, apparently upset that she did not answer her phone for a planned call.
Do you know who I am!
"I don't give a damn that you're 12 years old, or 11 years old, or that you're a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn't care about what you do as far as I'm concerned. You have humiliated me for the last time with this phone."
Ummmmmmmmm...not quite.
He goes on to say that he plans to fly from New York to Los Angeles "for the day just to straighten you out on this issue."
Yeah, don't take that shit from an 11 year old girl, Al. Better get down there and smack her around. We'll see if she shows you the proper respect after a good beating. Do you know who I am!!!
Baldwin's spokesman said in a statement Thursday that, "in the best interest of the child," the 49-year-old actor "will do what the mother is pathologically incapable of doing ... keeping his mouth shut and obeying the court order.
Yeah. Blame her for him being an asshole. Awwww, look what she made me do!
"The mother and her lawyer leaked this sealed material in violation of a court order," the statement continued. "Although Alec acknowledges that he should have used different language in parenting his child, everyone who knows him privately knows what he has been put through for the past six years."
Awwwwww. My heart bleeds.
"The voice mail speaks for itself," Basinger's spokeswoman said.
Game. Point. Match...

The Movie Star Asshat, Alex fucking Baldwin:

Narcissistic parents are the fucking worst..

reversing roles they demand that kids nurture them the parent; they effectually steal their own kid's childhood and regularly beat them down psychologically and sometimes physically.

#20  do you think THAT was an isolated voicemail? I don't wonder why she wasn't (apparently) enthusiastic to talk to her "I love ya, how're ya doing, ya rude, thoughtless little pig" Dad. What kid wouldn't love to be drawn into the brutal battle-du-parents? Self-Esteem 101 couldn't be better!

As an aside, I was involved in a totally brutal divorce with fully lawyer armed combat, 3 kids (daughter 9, son, 7, son 6 at the time), full psychologist/care worker/mediator battle - $35K spent/side.... and I NEVER would've blamed my kids for the problems, EVER. They were mine and my ex's. Made me sick to hear Alec's shit, totally bringing up memories of court hearings and why I, as Dad, got custody...

Daughter's 22 now... they still favor me. Wonder why?...Bye Alec....

#19  Since it no doubt was a call to the daughters own personal phone #, what are the odds the daughter unloaded the recording to stick it to dear old annoying dad?

Unless you are a moonbat.

#17  Maybe if he and the wife had taken a little longer to marry or longer to have kids they would have figured out that they weren't right for one another before bringing children into the world and putting them through this shit.

Baldwins an asshole. Kim may be one too (and apparently is if she distributed this). Who knows. But I feel sorry for the daughter who's had this broadcast for the world to see.

#14  [Alec Baldwin] has always been an angry, abusive person

And that's why I hope Child and Family Services is standing by to ensure that no physical harm comes to his daughter when he shows up to "straighten her out".

#13  He's on his website trying to explain it. I would've copied it over but it's basically, "it's not my fault."

#9  Alec "big-mouth" Baldwin

Gawd but i do luvs revenge!!

wasn't this the same narcissistic asshat that swore he'd leave America if Bush won?

#8  And this is one of the left's front-line, go-to spokesmen. Nice...
Posted by: M. Murcek   2007-04-20 13:33  

#7  Isn't he the guy who's too good to live in America with Bush as President? Bush, you see, doesn't know how to get along with the world, whereas Alec is a master of diplomacy.

#6  I don't get it: This is pretty much every family dinner I ever had when I was a teenager. Where were all these sympathy-dripping talking heads while that was going on, eh?

#5  He has always been an angry, abusive person. Too bad his daughter has to be exposed to it.
