Alec Baldwin Responds to Nasty Message He Left for Daughter

  Share  

Earlier today news broke that Alec Baldwin had left a very nasty phone message for his daughter Ireland. Click here to read the story and listen to the message.

Alec Baldwin’s rep. released this statement to Extra, just hours ago:

"In the best interest of the child, Alec will do what the mother is pathologically incapable of doing…keeping his mouth shut and obeying the court order. The mother and her lawyer leaked this sealed material in violation of a court order. 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."


Since when does parenting equal abusive language? Alec has some serious anger management issues. As Angry as he may be at Kim Bassinger, he should know better than to ever take that anger out on his daughter, and then blame it on her mother rather than apologizing for acting inappropriately. Ireland is going to learn from his example, and he’ll blame that on Ireland’s mother too.

On a side note, If Basinger was the one who leaked the tape, it would not be her first time violating a court order. On Oct. 4, she was arraigned on several misdemeanor counts of criminal contempt.

Earlier today, a motion by Basinger’s lawyers to dismiss contempt charges against her, related to her divorce from the “30 Rock” star was denied, City News Service reported.

Basinger had contempt charges filed against her last year for allegedly disobeying court orders related to Baldwin’s visitation rights of his daughter.

City News Service reports that if convicted Basinger faces up to 60 days in jail and a $12,000 fine.

Both Baldwin and Basinger did not attend the court proceeding earlier today.

“Access Hollywood” has been unable to reach Basinger’s representatives about the matter.

Hopefully Basinger will be held accountable for her own bad behavior, then maybe Ireland can civil parents again, but it’s going to have to be forced by the court it looks like.

    If Alec (male Rosie as we call him) could EVER keep his mouth shut as his (I’m guessing NEW) rep told Extra he was doing, this tape would be non-existent. DUH!

    I was a bit of a pain as a child/teenager but my parents NEVER EVER EVER would have said ANYTHING like this.
    This is beyond just scolding a child. She is 11 YEARS OLD!
    There is no excuse for his choice of words. No excuse whatsoever.

    You know what? I had a happy childhood. Terrific parents. Sometimes I was a horrible teenager, and they said some things in frustration and anger that I know they didn’t mean. To have those moments of passion used against them in the court of public opinion would have been a completely inaccurate reflection of the wonderful parenting skills they actually had. I have to give Alec Baldwin the benefit of the doubt and not judge him based on anecdotal evidence from a moment where he clearly lost his cool. The American public at large shouldn’t be in charge of judging who is and isn’t a good parent. Let’s let the courts who have all the evidence figure this one out.

    That’s not parenting, that’s abusing. Way to shatter her self-esteem and self-image. Such a self-absorbed whiner, he sounded like he was a 2 year old. Not a good role model for his child.

    he’s trash … just trash!
