You are worthless Alec Baldwin....

... now my stock in you has fallen.

Baldwin goes nuts on his daughter's voicemail:

I wish he would just move to Canada like he said he would...

Who knows, Alec Baldwin knows

Disclaimer:
I certainly don't defend Alec Baldwin for the way he goes off on his 12 year old daughter on this voicemail, threatening her, calling her a "rude, little pig", etc. (Though, come on, let's face it. The odds of Alec Baldwin's and Kim Bassinger's 12 year old daughter, or any hollywood couple's young kid (Welcome to Hollywood) actually being a "rude, little pig" are pretty high.)


There is, however, more to this story.

Apparently as part of the custody settlement in their nasty, bitter divorce, there is an arrangement where there are set times Kim or Alec can call the "rude, little pig" ("RLP") when RLP is with the other. So, as rumor has it, whenever RLP is with Alec and Kim calls, RLP always answers the phone and they talk for hours and hours... This, most likely, upsets Alec to no end. However, when Alec calls to talk RLP when she is with Kim, RLP has her phone off or doesn't pick up or whatever. This too, as evidenced by the voicemail, upsets Alec to no end.

And that... is the rest of the story.

Yeah, Psycho dad + Psycho mom=fucked up kid. I think he goes off quite a bit and he shouldn't. But I could see what his frustration may be. I'd hope he just wants the best for his kid, and doesn't want her doing bukkake vids at 15, rather than just trying to get back at her mother. Who knows, definitely poor form for the Basinger camp to release this.

[Shkspr]

I'm certainly glad my parents weren't estranged so that they were willing to publicize what the other one called me on occasion. "Ungrateful little shit" was about the nicest thing I heard when I did something lousy when I was 12.

[MizzouRah]

Exactly, I bet he's really pissed now that's it's on the internet. Well, he's meeting with her today, that should be fun.

[Oilers9911]

I wish he would just move to Canada like he said he would...

Oh for the love of Christ no!

[Draft Dodger]

I bet they have attractive kids

[Subby]

Every parent on this board has probably said some horrible shit to their kids that would earn them heaps of scorn if it were released publicly.

That's my position. Ungrateful little shits.

[Shkspr]

Mom?

[Vinatieri for Prez]

Yeah, without knowing more, I'm actually going to reserve judgment on Baldwin on this one. Sometimes, certain kids/brats need even a stronger wake up call than that.

[st.cronin]

OTOH, he was great in Glengarry Glen Ross. "Do you see this watch? This watch cost more than your car."

Mom?

Well played, sir! :)

[sabotai]

Yeah, I was wondering how this got out. This should definately be a family matter, but she decides to bring the media into it (if she indeed release it to the press). Looks bad for Baldwin, but in my view, this is worse for Basinger. And I doubt the kid isn't going to feel some "backlash" in school, from friends, etc. Everyone knows how mean 12 year olds can be to each other. Her new nickname is going to be "rude, little pig" for awhile, all thanks to Basinger trying to pull one over Baldwin.

Yep...the only things I find fault with what he said was the 'pig' crack and the part where he called her dumb (or whatever it was). As a parent of an 11 year old girl, I can understand getting upset at your kid, using that tone of voice, and even cussing a little. I just try to stay away from any name calling.

[path12]

Mom?

I was hoping you were gonna swing at that.

[Ksyrup]

I have an uncle who went through a divorce when his kids were in their early teens, and the crap their mother put them up to and how she ruined his relationship with his kids would have driven anyone over the edge. At times when some of us tried talking sense to them, we wanted to give them a verbal smackdown. My uncle, quite frankly, ended up more emotionally drained and physically broken down by it all then anything else. But if something like this had come out in his case, I could understand him cracking under the stress and unleashing in a particular moment of extreme frustration. I can only imagine when you're used to being such important, respected, and wealthy people as these people are, that the whole thing just turns into a high-flying clusterfuck of gigantic proportions. Sad stuff.

[Leonidas]

By following the rules of the Film Actor's Guild, the world can become a better place; that handles dangerous people with talk, and reasoning; that, is the fag way. One day you'll all look at the world us actors created and say, "wow, good going, fag. You really made the world a better place, didntcha, fag?" .

[M GO BLUE!!!]

Baldwin was stupid for saying anything like this where his ex would have it on tape. With children you have to remember that they are usually being used as spies by their mothers. Anything you say can and will be used against you.

Men, keep your mouths shut and let them pull all the crap they want to. Hopefully your kids will be intelligent enough to realize what their mother is up to and will eventually respect you for taking the high road...

[RendeR]

Seriously now, NUKE HOLLYWOOD, SAVE THE GENE POOL!

[jeff061]

I didn't think there was a damn thing wrong with it at all, until that pig thing at the end. That bit was a bit much.

People judging how parents treat their kids annoy me to no end.

[SFL Cat]

Whew...thought it was me on that recording for a second...

[Deattribution]

Which one is Alec Baldwin again? :)

[KWhit]

Why the fuck is this news?

I hate this country sometimes.

[Schmidty]

I can honestly say that I have never used an angry, hurtful epithet toward my daughter. I've been very angry at times, but I know how awful abuse like that can maim, even if it's only words.

[Karlifornia]

Alec Baldwin would never say those things to Canteen Boy. Well...maybe in a kinky sadist sort of way.

[MizzouRah]

Whew...thought it was me on that recording for a second...

I have an 11 year old daughter and although she's a good kid, sometimes I want to "Alec Baldwin" her. She doesn't have a cell phone though. :(

That's actually a pretty fair distinction because calling your kid names is pretty weak. I guess I was thinking more along the lines of the angry cussing lunatic angle :)

Yeah - see my reply to VPI. I think (and hope) most of us align that way...

[Fidatelo]

I think his tone is fine, and his point is clear (and probably legit). But he loses me as soon as he starts name calling and insulting his daughter. He also makes too much of the fact that she 'made him look like a fool', he can make his point that she was being disrespectful without it having anything to do with how he looks.

[MrBigglesworth]

Baldwin is coming off a great performance in the Best Picture of 2006 and won a Golden Globe for 30 Rock, in which he is hilarious.
