i don't think this message is that bad, he just sounds pissed. she's probably a pain in the ass kid, which is her parents fault, but still.

The last time I answered this, the phantom that thumbs down just about everything did just that to me. It was on TV, the internet, etc. Baldwin swore at his
daughter {she's 11} threatened her and called her a disgusting pig. I can't stand
Baldwin for hurting her like that. I hope his career suffers terribly.

After Ireland failed to answer her father's scheduled phone call from New York on April 11, Alec went berserk on her voice mail, saying "Once again, I have made an *** of myself trying to get to a phone," adding, "you have insulted me for the last time."

Switching his train of thought, Baldwin then exercised his incredible parenting skills and took a shot at his ex-wife, declaring, "I don't give a damn that you're 12-years-old or 11-years-old, or a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the *** who doesn't care about what you do." The irate Baldwin went on to say, "You've made me feel like s**t" and threatened to "straighten your *** out."

"This crap you pull on me with this goddamn phone situation that you would never dream of doing to your mother," screamed Baldwin, "and you do it to me constantly over and over again."

Before hanging up, Baldwin warned the child, "You better be ready Friday the 20th to meet with me." That's tomorrow. ... (SHOW MORE)

kids can piss you off where you say mean things to them but i don't think that makes anyone a cruel/bad parent

This event just proves the old adage that you can never take back vicious words once you have said them. He has likely spouted off like that many times before...he just got caught this time. He is, at least, unthinking and uncaring about what he says and desperately needs a good anger management course.

cancel

I don't think he's a cruel dad, I certainly remember being 13/14 and saying everything under the sun to push my mom's buttons. I would have slapped me too, haha! So he just lost it, he's like any other parent of a teenager...it just happens to be that he's famous and is held to a higher standard.

cancel

No! he isn't cruel all parents do stuff like this... he is just getting crap for it because he is famous. He lost his temper and anyone who has kids can understand some of it. But the Kim was by far the worst to have the media hear what he said to her on the phone by releasing the tape. They are both scum parents. Differences between parents is between them, children need not to be involved. Growing up is hard to do and when you have all this out there in the open. Is not fair to Ireland.

Alec has a quick temper and beyond that, we don't have the right to comment as we don't know how he is with his daughter the rest of the time. Everyone says stupid things, but Kim was MUCH worse for releasing the tape.

cancel

dont know for sure but im guessing he is kinda because not alot of dads leave that ude of messages.....i mean, dads get mad but god lol

cancel

I heard the tape, and his language is inexcusable toward his daughter. I imagine he was totally pissed off and was experiencing blind rage, and the moral to the story is, don't say anything until you have had time to cool off. It did make me wonder, however, why the tape was released to the media in the first place...if Kim did it, it was very vindictive of her and she is as guilty as he is. Divorced parents can be vicious if they choose to be, and the real victim in it all is the children. So sad, they both need to grow up.

cancel

He's certainly emotionally abusive... but so is her mother. She not only broke a court order by releasing the thing, she exposed her daughter to public humiliation and further shame... just to get the "upper hand" on Baldwin -doesn't seem as if she has her child's best interests at heart, either. I feel sorry for this girl... if these events are any indication, her parents are really horrible!

cancel

He need to go into anger management...talking like that to anybody is unacceptable in my book.

cancel

I think he is just really short tempered and impatient. I bet that sometimes he's really affectionate and other times he's vicious. Probably not a great parent...he is a bit too extreme.

cancel

Alec is an outspoken, opinionated, horrible Dad. I feel sorry for his kid. Kim didn't release the tape. Alec is cruel and a liar. He's just going around apologizing now to save his sorry @ss.

cancel

No, he's not a bad dad. Raising a kid is very had. It's understandable to see he lost his temper.

cancel

no i don't think so. I think he was angry and fed up with the situation. its unfortunate that it was made public because we all speak differently to our family and friends than to strangers. also i bet kim has said a few things she regreted and is just lucky enough that they were not made public.

cancel

At least his ex-wife is fighting for full custody for the daughter.I can only imagine the little girls pain and embarrassment caused by her father.Fame and fortune doesn't give a parent the right to degrade and abuse the children regardless whether they're having a bad day.America is getting better about not tolerating the abuse and punishing those parents who abuse their children.

cancel

Hi!
The man is gross, disgusting, and a total boor to treat his child in such a way. I think he should lose his visitation rights because it's obvious that any man who says such stuff to a child has serious mental issues.

Are you reading this, Mr. Baldwin? If Kim Basinger kicks your a$$, it's because you deserve it!

cancel

Unfortunatly there are some people in Hollywood who want to do harm rather then help. They get there status as a celebrity and the next they are off on tyrant about how there country is the worst. I wonder if the same words would come out of there mouths if they did not have the fame or fortune that was given to them in the USA! God Bless America

You people are obviously intolerant. Alec is a HUGE supporter of the Clintons, and the DEMON crats. Anything in the tape is part of a VAST RIGHT WING conspiracy. If you listen to the tape closely you can hear a Texas drawl. Any idiot knows that the voice belongs to George W. Bush.

Besides he's NOT even a US citizen anymore. He stated that if George Bush won the 2000 election he was moving out of the country. Hollow Wood Movie Stars are GODS and NEVER LIE.

Alec needs our prayers. I'm going to pray to Greenpeace and to a California Redwood tree, for his redemption from this conspiracy. I hope you all join me.

This man needs lots of help. its not kool to lower a kids feelings so harshly. especially when you do it over the phone i mean honestly that is so mean.

cancel

the 'diisconnection between this man and his daughter is obvious; it's a mess: an attempt to 'father in absentia' and a cruel divorce. It makes for short fuses, misunderstandings and semi-cruel natures at war with the other at times. I suppose the daughter uploaded this message to embareass her father. She succeeded. They are both feel down hard on the other. He wanted his daughter to 'pick up the phone' at the same time everynight--and she didn't. Now they have punished the other. Everyone here has lost and further elevated the fued to new level.

cancel

OMFG!!!! THIS MAKE ME PHYSICALLY ILL!!! NO JOKE!!!!! NO ONE EVER HAS A RIGHT TO SPEAK TO A CHILD LIKE THIS, EVER!!!!!! WHO THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE IS!!!!!! ******* ASSHOLE!!!!

cancel

Of course, his daughter shouldn't have gotten a message like that... she is just a child. However, this has been a long, unpleasant, drawn out custody battle. I think that Kim Basinger has tried to keep their daughter away from Alec, and she's probably lied to the daughter about him just to poison the relationship. He probably tries to reach his daughter all the time, and just got frustrated. I think Kim's decision to send the tape to the media is just as shameful as Alec's behavior on the phone.

My husband, who is the best father in the world (seriously... his kids adore him now), was also treated this way by his ex-wife. She lied to his kids about him and did everything she could do to ruin their relationship with him. My husband never lost his temper like Alec did, but it was v ery difficult to go through. Children are very easily influenced by their parents. I don't agree with what Alec did, but I can understand his frustration. My husband now has the best relationship ever with his kids, and they resent their mom for lying to them. Kids grow up and figure out the truth for themselves. ... (SHOW MORE)

This guy is a joke! I can see being stern with your daughter, I think it is a parent's job to set the rules and enforce them. Where he crossed the line is when he called her a pig. That is abuse! It's bad enough that her father is a hollywood donkey liberal with a god complex the size of saturn, now this poor child has to deal with verbal abuse. Drug pushers are lining up around the block just waiting for this new customer! Way to push your child into their waiting arms Alec! Why people like you are able to have kids still baffles me! Do the world a favor and let me pay for your vasectomy Mr. Alec Donkey Baldwin..
