Alec Baldwin

[Mr. P]

Not only a jerk, but perhaps a borderline child abuser?

Listen to this phone recording to his daughter.

Just heard the recording myself. Two thoughts come to mind.

1) That's verbal abuse and mental cruelty of a minor - charge the son of a bitch!

2) Please let Alec be a public persona for the Democrats in 2008!

Alec Baldwin has to get a grip. His politics not withstanding, his daughter doesn't deserve to be called a pig. It's unfortunate how we sometimes bring our problems on ourselves.

Of course, I don't envy the guy, either. He's in the middle of a custody battle with his ex-wife and that has to be very difficult.

I hope that he's not normally like that with his daughter.

I remember that, when I was going through a divorce, that I could be very emotional at times and I would sometimes lose my composure over the slightest thing.

OK sounds like he's pissed off.

But what's worse? Yelling at your kid (I believe we've all done that) or RELEASING IT TO THE PRESS? I don't think Buffy released it. I doubt Alec Baldwin's press agent released it. Mommy must have released it. And whatever kind of abuse Baldwin has done it would have been a one time thing (at least for that call) whereas this will be a topic of conversation for years and something the kids friends can quote her on the playground because the mom thought this was a good idea. She could have taken this tape to the guardian ad litem and he could have dealt with it. These Hollywood assholes think their whole lives should play out in public.

I am of course assuming she did it, if I'm wrong about that fact, then I will have to reevaluate.

Well, leaving a message like this does wonders for his side, doesn't it?
I guess that's why Kim released it. I think she should also present it to a Judge and get an emergency restraining order.

She doesn't need to publicly humiliate her ex and her daughter to get a restraining order. She is still a sex machine however.

That's true she didn't need to make it public, but she did.

That's why so many kids are fucked up nowadays.

And why so many matrimonial attorneys are rich

[Mr. P]

Just heard a Judge revoked Baldwins visitation rights after hearing the tape.

[Roomy]

What the fuck is wrong with you? He is angry at his awkward, ignorant impudent kid who probably deserved more of a telling off than she/he got.

[Abbey Marie]

No doubt Mommy has poisoned the kid against Daddy, and Daddy is very frustrated. But Baldwin apparently has a history of anger problems, so this may not even be unusual for him.

Didn't he or Kim once even buy a town? I guess it takes something other than a village to raise a child well.

She did, Braselton, Ga. I think that was before him, not sure. She did Bankrupt on it a few years later as I recall.

[krisy]

I find absolutely no reason for this whatsoever. Him and his brother have serious anger issues,like someone else allready said. If I were the judge,I would have stopped visitation too. Who knows what he would have done to the child when he saw her. She has got to be hurting.

I do disagree with this being released to the media tho. That hurts and embarrases the daughter as much as it does him.

-Playing Devil's Advocate-

while the girl didn't deserve to be called a pig, or any name, ya gotta wonder what she did to make him so angry. Again, not that it justifies what he said, but we are only hearing him yelling to a recording. Sometimes kids do something so bad, their parents just lose it and say (& do) things they should not. I am not defending his words, just curious as to what she did that he felt justified ripping into her like that. I have had my share of my dad getting worked up, only because his temper got the best of him. I have been called names by my dad in the heat of the moment. And yes, it hurt to hear it, but all in all, he apologized later and said he didn't mean it, and I don't believe he meant it, because his anger was driving his thoughts, not common sense, because my actions were that bad.

However, Alec could also be over-reacting. We don't know until we hear the other side of the story.
