That an 11 year old can insult her father bt not answering the telephone is preposperous, Baldwin should be barred from unsupervised visitation.

SP4: 'He's such a Baldwin'!Apr 21st, 2007 - 19:55:36

He is stupid enough to let this get on a recording.

He is stupid enough to pick a fight with Sean Hannity who, promptly dismembered him on the air, last week.

He is a typical, spoiled Hollywierdo brat who thinks the world extends from the set, to the food service table, to his dressing room, to his agent, his lawyer and his publicist.

He failed to show his daughter that he could be mature in the face of whatever his child was doing. He never learned that children push you away and you must, always, come back.

Curiously, I find myself identifying with his frustration, but not his actions. Time to grow up Mr. Baldwin. Then, you can be the father you want to be.

Baldwin is an Idiot. The guy who knows so much about politics and the environment, sure doesn't know squat about how to talk to an 11 year old. He's so pathetic he doesn't even know how old his daughter is. Yeah we should let him and his Hollywierd pals run the country for us. Lets vote in his candidate and give them all of our money so that they can redistribute it as they see fit just like good parents would.....uhhhh Nevermind.

Look at that smarmy little grin. Makes me want to 'straighten him out' like he was going to do to a little girl.

It's unfortunate that a mother has to risk going to jail in order to protect her child from the father. Alec Baldwin needs to repeat anger management class. It's hard not being allowed to see your child when you want, and sometimes kids can be inconsiderate and obnoxious, but parents have to know how to act, and that tirade is not how it's done. I can appreciate what his frustrations are, and of course, it is wrong to go against a court order; but I believe Ms Basinger wanted to expose this situation in order for some action to be taken on behalf of their daughter. The ranting was scary and intimidating, and no parent should talk to their child that way, no matter what the child did. Mr. Baldwin is an intelligent gifted actor, he just needs to get control of his temper, and it can be done. He should concentrate on that rather than file papers to try to get the source of the leak. He should think of his child.

This was a private matter , it's was not a good thing to call his daughter a pig but sometimes I can sure understand how some women can drive a man to this. I am sure his ex has not been the nicest person and I believe he has as much right to see his child as she does. it is his daughter too. just because she gives birth doesn't mean she is the only parent. I'm sure she is the one who leaked it to the media. shame on her.

I just cannot believe that we don't all feel sorry for Alec in this situation. Who among us has not said things to our children that we regret-esecially in a case like this. We are human. These are private moments and anyone putting this out in the public in a private family manner is just mean. But that word pretty much tells the story of our country from 1980-92 and from 2000 to the present. Thank heavens the big change is near!

I thought Baldwin promised to leave the country if Bush was elected. I'm still waiting - even though your late you can still leave. Go on, Baldwin, get out of here.

Wow. A grown man calls his daughter a 'pig' and oddly enough, it seems she doesn't like talking to him on the phone. Go figure. She is entering her teen years and if he's hoping to alienate her completely, he's on the right track. Treat her with dignity, treat her like a human being (your words)especially when you are angry. That's called love.

Nobody, no matter what their age, should have to hear or say that to anyone else.
This is abuse and should be considered a crime - even by 'celebrities'.

Both Alec and Kim are selfish, spoiled brats and incompetent in their professions to be parents.
Their immense anger about life shows in their tone of voice and posture. It is Not acting.
They had a daughter together and she should be their number one priority.
Children are not scapegoats for adult irresponsibility.
Do you think it's fair to ask an 11 year old to act better than people who are nearly Five times her age?
Come on.

Baldwin and Basinger really should step up and admit they need a time out. They require a mediator to teach them how to respect themselves and, in turn, their family and friends.

The public, and commercial sponsors should not have to be subjected to, or pay for, the ugliness of this. Please put them on a two-year subbatical from TV and movies.
Thank you.

Who really cares about just Alec Baldwin? I hear parents every day call their kids 'little cruds (replace crud word)' and they're not all over the news. I'm not saying what he did was right, but cut the guy a break...he's only human. It is this 'babying' and spoiling of our kids these days that is turning our society into mush...just the other day I heard a Kindergartener threaten to sue his teacher. What the hell?

I cannot believe the tirade that Alec Baldwin directed at his 11 year old daughter. And anybody who has sympathy for Baldwin really needs their head examined. Nothing justifies Bladwin's behavior. He needs therapy and intervention. The fact that he is going to go to court to try and go after his wife for leaking the voice message speaks volumes about the man. He is out of control and the courts needs to separate him from his daughter. Who ever was responsible for leaking the message to the press did the right thing. There is nothing like the glare of public scrutiny to resolve and out of control ego. This appalling behavior will probably cost Baldwin his career. But he has only himself to blame. Nobody else.

That anyone should feel sorry for Baldwin is preposterous. I spent three years going through a very difficult divorce and couldn't see my children when I wanted to, but I never (during that time or before) spoke to either of them the way he did to his daughter. Sure parents get exasperated, irritated and angry with their kids, but we're the grown-ups: we don't teach them anything positive by giving in to such anger. Actually, Alec's rant sounded more like rage than 'parental anger.' What he said was threatening and abusive. If his ex leaked the info, that's wrong and she should be held responsible, but he should not be around that child unsupervised. I wouldn't trust him not to hurt her physically; he already has emotionally.

please she needed a good yelling at only because children like to take advantage of being none responsible when they can and being mr.balwin is a celebrity an a divorce parent he needs to here from his daughter when he needs to sure the name calling should have never been said but his disapointmemt in her being irresposible not ansering his call at the time they agreed upon puts him in a nerves state or him thinking something might have happen to her

I'm surprised how many people are biting on the big blame-hook being dangled here. Of course what he said was ridiculous and probably hurt his daughter's feelings, but the fact that it was released to the media and people like us get to publicly rant about how horrible her life must be (in our imaginations) will very likely do more damage in the long run than that one voice mail. People, it's none of your business. Just leave it alone and try to be better parents yourselves.
