Alec Baldwin . . daughter . . phone call

[madmax]

Alec Baldwin is an idiot, but I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt. He probably went through a tough divorce. I guess he lost custody and he only gets a lousy phone call. When the time comes to make the call the kid doesn't take the call. Then Kim Bassinger releases the tape to the press. To top it off Kim Bassinger is probably having sex with Republicans which is really making Baldwin nuts.

Maybe Alec will become a moderator on Greek Chat.

can we really tell that baldwin cares about his daughter, or is it that she did not answer hiscall, when he took time out of his busy day to phone her?

if the man does not currently have visitation rights it is for a reason-i think that phone message proved that point.

Personally if I were a judge I would be removing Ireland from BOTH of their custodies!!!

Alec is just a bad father for saying what he said to her (I don't care how angry he was)

And Kim, well hello honey you ain't no better! It's like you want to slap and say "how the hell do you think this makes your daughter feel. It's bad enough her dad says these things but in retaliation you release it to the PUBLIC!!!!"

They both need some SERIOUS counseling and anger management intervention!

I heard the entire message on TV and I wonder what he was really upset about. It didn't seem to be about a phone call. There must be some kind of underlying issue here.

Regardless, he was way out of line calling her a little pig. And her mother certainly is no angel. I can't believe she put their family business all over the news like that. That's mean and tacky!

Ok...let me add another perspective.

Yes what he said was terrible...just terrible.

BUT THINGS TO CONSIDER...if it was a prearranged phone call (ie, as in a date) shouldn't her custodial parent have some obligation to make sure that the phone was on and she would answer (very much like if dad showed up to pick her up for a visit, shouldn't she be dressed and ready?). The fact that the phone was off seems more deliberate.

AND I have kids who have cell phones and at 11 or 12, they didn't really get HOW to do their voicemail.

I felt like the rant, while on his daughter's phone, was really directed at her mother, who probably would be the person who would hear the message first, especially if she had culpability in missing the date from the start.

What an ugly unfortunate mess. Both need co-parenting classes (for divorced parents) and that child needs a CASA volunteer.

I did watch the view interview yesterday because i wanted to hear what he was going to say and see how legit he was in emotions.....but from what it sounds like it stems from bassingers deliberate action of her daughter not taking the call. From how these two have played out intheir divorce and chld custody arrangements she seems to be the one who ignores court orders and violates them--to be spiteful as well so i truly think the "pig" comment was not really directed at ireland but maybe at kim bassinger.


They both can use parenting classes big time!
