Alec says he doesn’t care if he ever acted again. (Me either, we have something in common)
Alec Baldwin has hinted that he might end his career over the controversial abusive voicemail message he left to his 11-year-old daughter, Ireland.In a recording of the message, leaked to a celebrity website, Baldwin was heard calling his daughter a “rude, thoughtless pig.”
During an interview on American chat show The View, Baldwin, 46, said he has asked to be released from his contract for NBC program 30 Rock, because he doesn’t want the show to be negatively affected.
“If I never acted again I couldn’t care less,” he told the audience.
He also issued an emotional apology to Ireland: “Calling your child a pig or anything else is improper and inappropriate and I apologise to my daughter for that.
“There’s nothing wrong with being frustrated or angry about the situation…it’s the way you do it, and as people often do in this world, I took it out on the wrong person.”
When asked by host Barbara Walters whether he meant the message for his ex-wife Kim Basinger, he replied, “I think that goes without saying.”
Baldwin did not say whether he had spoken to his daughter since the drama began, but he insisted it was an isolated incident. “In my own case, with this message, I had never done this before in my life,” he said.
In an earlier statement, Basinger said: “It is Kim’s sincerest wish is for [Alec] to finally address his unstable and irrational behaviour so he, at some point can potentially create a relationship with his daughter.”
Baldwin’s actor brother, Billy has come the troubled star’s defence.
He has said: “What people don’t understand is that when a man goes through a divorce, there is a fear that your ex-wife is poisoning the well and pitting your own child against you. Alec’s attitude and tone reflects that concern.”

im sorry but im with Alec on this one. He shouldn’t have called his daughter a “pig”, but personally i’ve always like dhim, will always like him and this does not change my opinion of him. there isn’t a parent on this planet who hasn’t lost it at one point or another and the ones who haven’t probably have shitty spoiled kids anyway.
not one of us are in a position to cast stones and judge this man, unless, he were raping or beating his child.
i heard someone who wanted to spend time with his daughter, and having been rejected one time too many finally snapped. at least he’s not like these other hollywood dads who dont spend time with their children at all.

Basinger was a nutbar long before Alec met her. I wish him well.

Alec berated Kim repeatedly in public (once in a Long Island restaurant in front of the kid and many customers). It was one of the reasons she divorced him. Don’t buy the prince charming act. He’s lucky he even has phone access at all.

Yeah, Baldwin’s going to quit acting just like he was going to leave the country if Kerry didn’t win the presidency. Please quit acting and leave the country.

Lol the tile made me laugh!Unortunately not the whole thing, this is just too sad and he is still an ass to my eyes.And all the public excuses won’t erase the humiliation his daughter must have felt…

Oh come on! Gimme a break. What parent HASN’T yelled at their kid and said something they shouldn’t have? Alec got screwed because some asshole decided to let the whole world hear it. There are more parents in this world that don’t do a damned thing when their kids misbehave and that in my eyes is MUCH worse than overstepping your bounds once. Hell, when I was 11 if my parents ever said something to me that they appologised for later, I accepted the appology 100%. Give the guy a break. So he got angry and frustrated and his 11 year old daughter got the brunt of it (and hey, who’s even to say she heard it. Why would a parent come home, hear that and then play it back for their kid if its so bad?) Kim is the idiot here people.

Billy, it’s never OK to belittle your child by calling them a “pig”, if you call that discipline than you obviously don’t know much about parenting.

So. He took it out on the wrong person?!?
He actually MEANT to take it on on Kim? What an unevolved bully. He STILL doesn’t get it. Yeah, quit your job so you can continue your obsessive harrassment towards Kim FULL TIME.
