The Gun Of Bavaria Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I've always thought Alex Baldwin was a major POS. This just confirms it. Angry voice mail from Baldwin goes public ‘30 Rock’ star calls his 11-year-old daughter ‘a rude, thoughtless little pig’ The Associated Press Updated: 10:12 p.m. ET April 19, 2007 LOS ANGELES - The festering bad blood between movie-star exes Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger erupted Thursday when an angry phone message from Baldwin to his daughter was made public. On the recording, Baldwin can be heard admonishing his 11-year-old, Ireland: “You are a rude, thoughtless little pig.” “You don’t have the brains or the decency as a human being,” he says, apparently upset that she did not answer her phone for a planned call. “I don’t give a damn that you’re 12 years old, or 11 years old, or that you’re a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn’t care about what you do as far as I’m concerned. You have humiliated me for the last time with this phone.” He goes on to say that he plans to fly from New York to Los Angeles “for the day just to straighten you out on this issue.” The recording was published by celebrity news site TMZ.com, which said that the call was placed on April 11. Baldwin’s spokesman said in a statement Thursday that “in the best interest of the child,” the 49-year-old actor “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,” he continued. “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.” “The voice mail speaks for itself,” Basinger’s spokeswoman said. Calls to Basinger’s attorneys were not returned. Her spokeswoman also did not return calls. Baldwin’s attorney also did not return a call seeking comment. Baldwin and Basinger, 53, were married in 1993. They have been involved in prolonged legal disputes over custody and other issues since she filed for divorce in 2001, which was granted in 2002. The couple’s differences have been aired several times in public. Basinger was charged with contempt of court in October for violating terms of a 2004 custody agreement. A motion by her lawyers to dismiss the charges was denied Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court. The next hearing on visitation issues is scheduled for May 4. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18220258/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I think Kim Basinger was on a show recently talking about panic attacks. She is going to win the battle of public opinion easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gun Of Bavaria Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 There's a difference between yelling at your kid and calling them a "rude, thoughtless little pig.” and telling them “You don’t have the brains or the decency as a human being,” regardless of what he thinks of her mom, telling her “I don’t give a damn that you’re 12 years old, or 11 years old, or that you’re a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn’t care about what you do as far as I’m concerned. You have humiliated me for the last time with this phone.” over a phone call is ridiculous. She's 12 years old - she's very impressionable....she doesn't need to hear that. My ex and I have absolutely nothing to say to each other, but when it comes to our daughter we're adults, civil and we make it a point to make sure that our girl is the most important thing in both our lives, even if they're seperate now.

Thai Jet Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Are you all sure this was Alec Baldwin? I thought he and Bassinger moved out of the country 7 years ago when George W Bush was 1st elected president. Or was he miss quoted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsTaborJet Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 He was angry and yelled at his kid. I don't see the great tragedy. Are you serious? There is so much hatred in that man for his ex wife and if he's now directing the hatred to his daughter apparently. If he leaves messages like this on the phone, just imagine how he treats her when they are together. It's not as though she forgot to do her chores and he got upset with her. An 11 year old cannot comprehend what is going on, why he is this way and she will carry this kind of crap with her for life and wonder what she did wrong. I had a very strict upbringing, my dad yelled and yelled quite well. But never tried to hurt me with his words or say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn306 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I could never EVER see myself calling one of my girls "thoughtless pigs" Yeah they may be a royal pain in rear but kids are very impressionable and they do what you do. I wonder how much Baldwin or Bassinger actaully spent with the kid. My guess is that while they were having their 15 minutes of fame they had the nanny take care of them so they could go out and be "important" Baldwin should actually go and try spending some time with her.

JerryK Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 The article mentions that the girl deliberately ignored the phone ringing for a planned phone call. I'm guessing she was coached by mom. If mom's raising her to be a rude, thoughtless little pig...perhaps she should be made aware of it. Maybe NOT TO THAT EXTREME, but It doesn't look like he just arbitrarily screamed at her for no reason. There's more going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 although I never called my daughters pigs-I have to say we don't know what's going on in that house-Kim's house....some women try and turn the kids on the father in these situations-which isn't fair or right either.Oh yea, and then to release the tape to TMZ to show the world how much THEY should be the one to win the custody battle-BOTH parents are wrong and the kid is stuck in the middle.Hey at least her issues won't be made up when she ends up in either therapy or rehab in a few years-sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gun Of Bavaria Posted April 20, 2007 Author Share Posted April 20, 2007 I agree with you all. There's no doubt that Bassinger is playing a role in this and for her to use her daughter as a pawn between her and her effed up ex is likewise pathetic. neither one of them are getting any parenting awards and for them to have their young teen daughter stuck in the middle as their personal battle is sick.

It's just unfathomable to me how 2 supposedly successful & well educated people can throw their own daughter in the middle of a venomous hate war with eachother. I've no doubt the mom is unstable based on any entertainment news i've read so you would expect baldwin to be the sane anchor in this for his daughters sake wouldn't you. hard to judge based on 1 article but that's what we do on message boards ain't it?

Bob Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I agree that Baldwin is an overbearing ******* for speaking to his daughter in that manner. I would never resort to childish name-calling when correcting my daughters. Let's not lose sight, however, of Basinger's part in all this. She has proven herself to be completely unstable. It's obvious that she is poisoning the kid against her father. If she didn't outright prevent the kid from taking Baldwin's calls, she at least created the atmosphere where blowing off the father is acceptable. Then, she leaked the tape. Bitch. Send the kid to foster care, where people with actual parenting skills can get involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldwin says that to his daugter for strike one, Bassinger leaks the tape for the whole world, including her daughter, to hear. Now that poor girl has to hear it over and over from her friends. The kid will be snorting lines of coke in 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Moses Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Two women went before King Solomon with one baby, both claiming to be the mother. "Cut it in half" was Solomon's decision. One woman agreed. The other cried, and told Solomon, "let her keep the baby". Solomon then knew who the real mother was. That story had a happy ending. Alec and Kim's child won't be as fortunate.

Arsis Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I really don't think a couple of harsh words are gonna ruin this kids life. I agree he shouldn't have said those things to her face, but he's probably right, the kid is going along with the mother and playing stupid games.

She's a product of her environment and follows what her mother does. A few harsh words from the father will not ruin her, but I'm sure this wasn't the first time it happened or the last. Both of these parents suck, that's something everyone can agree on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
