Here is an angry voicemail message that got leaked on the internet from Alec Baldwin to his 11 year old daughter. He called her a “thoughtless little pig,” and bashed her mother Kim Basinger. Rumor has it that a family law judge was so alarmed after hearing the tape, she has temporarily barred Baldwin from having any contact with his child.
Here’s some more quotes from the voicemail message:
“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 ass 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 ass 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.
UPDATE: Basinger’s publicist, Annette Wolfe: “The voicemail speaks for itself.”
UPDATE: A friend of Alec Baldwin’s just contacted TMZ to say that the actor called Ireland last week and apologized for his outburst. The friend added that Ireland is the most important thing in the world to Alec and that he is frustrated because over the last six years, Kim has “tried everything” to alienate Ireland from him.
UPDATE: Alec Baldwin’s spokesperson released the following statement to the TV show “EXTRA”: “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.” There’s more information at TMZ.COM. Man these guys can get some great breaking stories.
COMMENTARY:You can listen to the MP3 below. It is pretty harsh, but I am going to go out on a limb and defend Alec Baldwin. Obviously, Kim Basinger leaked this to the press, maybe sold it. She is a cold hearted B&TCH and I am guessing that she has manipulated her daughter and brainwashed her against her own father. I can see Kim saying hurtful and disturbing things to the child throughout the years about Alec, then offering a comforting shoulder to cry on. It is too easy to say how terrible Alec Baldwin is. He loves his daughter, otherwise he wouldn’t be fighting SO hard for custody. I hope he survives this in the press. Star Muscle will not be jumping on the ‘Hate Alec’ bandwagon , rather the ‘F Kim’ one.

Can,t believe that! 
Comment by Jane on 20 April 2007:
I don’t think he should have been so nasty to her, but I do understand that he is upset that she is not taking his calls. I also think it is terrible that Kim and Alex have but their daughter in the middle of their divorce. That child is going to be messed up!
Comment by Josephine says: on 20 April 2007:
You know it is so sad that in this day and age two adults are acting like this. We know that they are actor/actress,
yet it makes one wonder are they acting still and not living in the real world. I love the Baldwins, all of them,
but we have seen that Alex did have a drug problem on the
celeberties show to loose weight. We the public seeing that
does not make him any worse than the hundreds of other people in the acting world who does it. I will say that this is be the problem still why he is still so hot-headed.
I pray for him as a person, because it is not easy. I wish
him to take care of himself first,and leave the rest to God. It will all work itself out.
Love to the Balwins.
Comment by Tina Tooney on 20 April 2007:
Alex seems to have highlighted his paxil poster boy image by screaming into a phone @ an eleven year old child.
Why would she want to talk to her dad if he verbally abuses her is she misses a beat. I think what Kim did is perfect-he does not need to see his daughter unsupervised unless across from her in a doctor’s office!
Alex & Ryan O’Neil should become friends as they could out due each others stories and keep themselves entertained for quite some time. We feel for you!!
Comment by Frank Gates on 20 April 2007:
I wonder if Alex was foaming at the mouth-I got that impression as he was feeding off his own anger during his taped phone call to his daughter.
People do get angry it is a human emotion, but not to the depth/context that Mr. Baldwin portrayed onto his own child. He needs some help-can anyone help him? anyone?!

Comment by Ross... on 20 April 2007:
maybe i heard wrong but he said he has to make his way to a phone….HE IS ALEC BALDWIN…. why doesent he have a cell phone…. or 2?
Comment by Steve on 21 April 2007:
reminds me of the time that he was saying we should “stone Henry Hyde to death” during the Clinton impeachment, and Starr investigation - remember this?
“They voted on one article of impeachment already. And I come back from Africa to stained dresses and cigars and this and impeachment. I am thinking to myself, in other countries they are laughing at us 24 hours a day and I’m thinking to myself, if we were in other countries, we would all right now, all of us together, [starts to shout] all of us together would go down to Washington and we would stone Henry Hyde to death! We would stone him to death! [crowd cheers] Wait! Shut up! Shut up! No shut up! I’m not finished. We would stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and we’d kill their wives and their children. We would kill their families. [stands up, yelling] What is happening in this country? What is happening? UGHHH!”
so - how long before we unplug Alec from the grid until he gets his act together?

A note to: Alec Baldwin- unaccountable swine
Friday, April 20, 2007 at 12:09PM
Pacifico House, LLC
When you, Alec Baldwin, announced that you were going to write a book covering the domestic court system and it’s unfair processes for fathers, I said, “Well, that’s good, even though I think you’re a jerk.” Do I know you? No. No need to. I agree that the court system is not fair. There are great fathers out there who are getting the short end of the stick with child custody and support.
However, my assumptions of your character- that something that exudes from you- have now been proven accurate with your voice mail message to your daughter.
1. She doesn’t accept your phone calls. This makes you angry. Why would an 11 year-old not want to take daddy’s phone calls? Well, this one message, although arguably could be a one-time event (I doubt), may shed a little bit of light on why the phone is off. Maybe daddy has nothing nice to say or maybe Ireland never really knows if she is going to be daddy’s amazing little girl or his “thoughtless, no-brain, little pig” on today’s phone call.
2. “You would never dream of pulling this phone crap with your mother.” Maybe mommy doesn’t verbally abuse your daughter.
3. An actor of your caliber knows that you reach into your center and act accordingly- with peaceful, calm truth. No matter how much crap you have been through over the past six years. There is no movie role, no Oscar winning performance that can replace the character of a father to his child. Tantamount to this, fathering a daughter. The psychological affects of a father’s words and actions towards his daughter last a lifetime and permeates every relationship a woman has. Any actor worth their talent knows the psychology, meaning, and affect of words on another human being. Calling back to say “I’m sorry” means nothing. How does “I’m sorry” replace the memory of daddy calling his daughter a thoughtless, little pig?
4. As my friend Jessica says, “People can not hide behind masks anymore. Left and right they are being ripped off. The Internet allows for anyone at anytime to be exposed for what they say and what they do. Accountability must now be practiced.” “I’m sorry” doesn’t cut it. “I’m going to fly out there and straighten you out on this matter and fly back home.” You can’t stay for the weekend, Alec? Your daughter is only a punching board for your frustration. Your time that you are so concerned about and your humiliation of getting to a phone is more important than spending more than one day with your daughter, calmly and lovingly.
5. You don’t care that she is 12 or 11 or a child. Obviously. A child only knows what her or his parents teach them, especially at this age. If she doesn’t have the brains or decency- I wonder why? Listen to what you have said. That you get so angry to call the baby you created and held, “a rude thoughtless, little pig,” shows no love from her father. No matter what history you have had. You can hide behind apologies. You can hide behind a publicist, but the best course of action is for you to realize you are the asshole. You and only you. She is a child. If the phone was off, it is off for a reason. I doubt, seriously doubt, this a one time occurrence with your anger.
6. To save your career, your relationship with your daughter, but more importantly to do your job and save the emotional, precious creature that is your daughter, take some accountability. Admit to yourself that you are the pig. No matter how angry you become, you don’t abuse your child. This is exactly what you have done- verbally abused your daughter. I would have leaked the message in a minute. You deserve to be humiliated.
7. As an adult and an actor you should know no one can make you feel anything. However you interact with another human only you have the ability to control your feelings. There are more issues here than your daughter not taking your phone call. I don’t think you need to waste your time or money on a plane ticket to fly from New York to L.A. I think it is safe to assume that your daughter realizes how and what she makes you feel.
8. We all have our issues. However, this is not the first time you have shown how your temper takes control of you. Again, I doubt it is the first time your daughter has been the victim of your controlling personality and tirades. Fix yourself, then you’ll fix your relationship with your daughter. I feel sorry for her. I can imagine the anxiety and fear YOU make her feel. At this age she has no choice or understanding that no one else can really make anyone feel anything but their own self.
9. You should care that she is a child. You are responsible for making her the adult she will become. If daddy thinks I’m a rude, thoughtless, no-brain pig how can anyone else love me? This is what you have taught your daughter. You are paving a road of destruction.
10. Alec- stop putting the blame on your kid and your ex-wife or anyone else. Your skin, your body and now your words wreak of your self-indulgence. Take some accountability you thoughtless, selfish swine. Get some help.

Comment by Tim on 21 April 2007:
Beneath the anger, I can tell how hurt he is. Basinger looses so much respect in my book for leaking this to the press. There is no reason for her to make her personal family problems public just to embaress the man. We have all said horrible things when we were hurt, and although I think it was wrong for Baldwin to say what he did, I have some sympathy for him.
Comment by Keith on 21 April 2007:
I agree Tim, It sounds like he lost it as many parents do with children. At one point it sounded like he was in one of his movies. I think it was a very unclassy move by Basinger to leak this. She really is a pain in the ass
Comment by Regina on 21 April 2007:
Guys, this is none of our business. It’s just making it worse for the girl. The problem of Alex Baldwin and Kim Basinger’s awful divorce and unfair treatment of their daughter has been put out in the open, and now i’m certain they’ll at least attempt to change this situation. And if they don’t, others will intervene clearly. But leave the girl out of this, she’s going through enough as it is without having to have her poor treatment and her own self psychoanalyzed by a bunch of outsiders. The issue of this will work itself out, but clearly none of you will be the ones to do it.
Comment by Tracy on 21 April 2007:
What blows my mind is that ANYBODY is actually surprised by this. He’s a pig, has always been a pig, and will always be a pig.
Comment by Alana on 22 April 2007:
I am very good friends with Alec’s neice’s, Haley & Aliea. Alec & his daughter has been to many preformances and so have I. They do have a strong bond, and I think he was just upset with her for not answering her calls. IT was probably just built up anger.
Comment by Dawn on 22 April 2007:
PAS happens everyday and I don’t see anyone caring
about when it happens to a normal person but let it happen
to a well known person and it’s everyone’s business and everyone has an opinion about it.
Leave Alec alone and cut him some slack.
Comment by MovieGeek on 22 April 2007:
So when does “GlennGary Glenn Ross 2: The Custody Battle” come out? Will David Mamet write screenplay? Anybody with a four-letter vocabuary, preferably no larger for authenticity’s sake, could do it, I guess. Who will play Alec Baldwin? Denis Leary would make a good AB; maybe he could play himself.
Man, I’m getting excited just thinking about it!
Excuse me…
Comment by James on 24 April 2007:
What the hell is wrong with what he says?
Hate to be a celebrity.
Comment by LJ on 24 April 2007:
This is not as bad as people are making it out to be. It’s not ok… But you can certainly understand that his frustration has built up and he lost it for a moment. Anyone who is a parent should be able to understand this. It’s highly unlikely his daughter will be damaged for life by this voicemail. She will be more damaged if she is deprived of a relationship with her father!
Comment by Sharon on 24 April 2007:
Alex’s message to his daughter is over the top, however in all fairness to him anger makes us say things we immediately regret. Ok he is a father with faults, but he loves his daughter and is just frusterated by the situation. Most of us have been there and done that only to realize later our behavior was out of line. Because Alex is a public figure his every word and action is dissected by the public be it good, bad or ugly. I feel for him and hope this thing dies down for his sake and especially his daughters. Ok he was wrong, but the child is also wrong by avoiding her father, the only way things can be resolved are through communication. I don’t condone Alex’s behavior but I also don’t condone his daughter’s either. She needs to be available for the calls, per the court order otherwise the situation will only get worse for her and her father’s relationship.
I wish the family the very best for peace and mutual respect for the future.

baldwin should seek treatment for bi polar disorder,which he most likely has.what a miserable turd he is.
Comment by creatif on 25 April 2007:
It is a terribly difficult for a man to be away from a child that he loves with a wife that he is estranged from, particularly when it appears as thought the wife is plotting against him. Alec suffered from a case of ‘I love you so much that right now I’m pissed at you’ and went balistic on his own daughter. Yes, he berated his own daughter, but how many parents can say that they haven’t at one time or another? Kids unfortunately don’t do what you want them to do all of the time. I’m not defending his words, I’m defending his actions.
The sad part of all of this is that Kim is sitting back laughing because she is getting her way right now. She succeeded in putting Alec in a position that is difficult for him to see his own daughter; if she was a decent person she would make sure that Alec speaks with his daughter. Plan the time in the child’s schedule, remind her, etc. What intelligent person doesn’t know the importance of a fathers’ love in a girls life, particularly through the teenage years?
To Alec: I enjoy your work immensely and I hope to meet you one day. Unfortunately, this scenario is common. Many times women play these games with our love for our children against us and we have to be smarter than to play into it. When this all blows over, next time, know that you are working against a manipulator. Sad but true. In the end your daughter will see who really loves her. We can all see that you love very strong!!!
Comment by CMM on 25 April 2007:
The big picture here is that this man has a history of domestic violence which affects everyone in his family. The real tragedy is that he has brought this on himself. Maybe his daughter is better off not having a connection with him, children that witness domestic violence also fear that this violence will one day be directed at them.
This tirade is a form of domestic violence and is no doubt a repeat of what this child has already witnessed toward her mother, this time she was the victim.

Comment by Irma on 27 April 2007:
I understand how he must feel, although I feel he just did this out of frustration of The mother being such a b—-. She can deny it, til the cow’s come home, but I think she let this get out to the public. I never did like her for some reason. NOW, I know why. My husband left me and 4 little children, and I still don’t know why. Just women chasing. BUT, I never allowed anyone to talk about him in front of the children, and alway’s told them he was their daddy and they should love him, and talk to him. HE was the one, that never came back to see them,and now that he is old, is trying to have a relationship with them. They don’t want it. I, stay out of it, and so should KIM!!! She should be incouraging her daughter to love and respect her father. SHAME, on you KIM. Someday, you will answer o your heavenly Father.
Comment by dr phil on 3 May 2007:
When Dr. Phil McGraw appeared earlier this week on “Larry King Live” to weigh in on the psychological aspects of the Alec Baldwin-Kim Basinger marital dispute, following the leak of that nasty voice mail Baldwin left for his 11-year-old daughter Ireland, McGraw told King that he would be willing to have a sit down with the couple and their daughter Ireland to resolve the situation, but he also added, “Not in front of cameras, not on my show, our show or anybody else’s show, but behind closed doors.”
Apparently Alec Baldwin was watching, because he called Dr. Phil for a intense conversation about how he feels about violation of privacy, his daughter, and how he intends to correct course in the volatile proceedings that have been ongoing for 5 years between Baldwin and his ex-wife, Kim Basinger.
McGraw, who also reached out privately to Basinger, revealed to “Entertainment Tonight” that Baldwin called him on his cell phone in response to the show:
“I had a private conversation with Alec. He was watching when I addressed these issues on Larry King Live and was heartened by the offer because his number-one priority is to create peace and tranquility in his daughter’s life. The offer to get that done from somebody who gets it, meant a lot to him. Some things we talked about in confidence, but some things he has allowed me to share.”
Dr. Phil continued to reveal that the actor recognized the inappropriate nature of his comments to his daughter and that one of Baldwin’s fears is that people, including the court, would have the misconception that this characterizes his persona as a father. Going on to say that it was “out-of-character for him to do what he did.”
Dr. Phil said that Baldwin told him that he was “completely and totally committed to continuing his fight to have access to a full and healthy ongoing relationship with his daughter, ” and that he wasn’t trying to fix a broken relationship with his daughter because he doesn’t have a broken relationship with her.
Baldwin said he would like the freedom to focus on his daughter and that his role on “30 Rock” is inconsistent with that desire, but that he intended to honor his contract with the show.
McGraw said that Baldwin has vowed that he “was undaunted (by the release of the voice mail) and he was going to fight this till his last breath.”
Comment by Me on 4 May 2007:
“this man has a history of domestic violence”
Actually he has an ALLEGED history of domestic violence. With the allegations coming from a person of such outstanding moral fiber that she releases private answering machine tapes to the press.
Comment by Melissa Z. on 4 May 2007:
I’ll bet it wasn’t Kim who leaked it…perhaps Ireland sent to a friend who showed their brother or parents who could have easily sold it…I’ve followed their divorce and custody battle for years and don’t believe Kim would cause Ireland public humiliation. I myself have had anger issues and when I took it out on my child 20 years ago I immediately went to a counselor…who said it was misdirected anger towards my spouse. Anger always has a root which must be dealt with or it’ll reoccur over and over in inappropriate ways. I pray for all three of them and especially for Alec to get help so he doesn’t continue to hurt people, especially those he cares about.
Comment by kim basinger on 25 June 2007:
Actress Kim Basinger has denied leaking a voicemail message in which ex-husband Alec Baldwin called their daughter a “rude, thoughtless little pig”. Basinger’s spokeswoman Annett Wolf said the Oscar winner “did not release the voicemail”, but added that it was “not sealed under a court order”. She also revealed Basinger had hired a bodyguard for 11-year-old Ireland.The couple have been locked in a long and bitter legal battle over access to the child since they split in 2000.
Baldwin blamed Basinger for leaking the voicemail message last week.
