American Airlines ejected "The Office" star Alec Baldwin for playing with his phone and then slamming a lavatory door, according to TMZ

Baldwin's Twitter feed lays it out, as he complains about the incident where flight attendants wanted him to shut off his cell phone in the middle of a game of "Words with Friends" after the cabin door closed, but the plane remained at the gate.

From Twitter:

"United shud hav app onboard where u can play WWF w other passengers. American shud have app where u read the new testament w flt attendants

"My words with friends user name is now #theresalwaysunited

"Now, as I was kicked off this flight, the word I was playing was UNITED

"#theresalwaysunited Last flight w American. Where retired Catholic school gym teachers from the 1950's find jobs as flight attendants."1 hour ago

Alec allegedly got up to go to the bathroom and "slammed" the lavatory door.  The captain then allegedly had Baldwin removed.

Baldwin claims he did not slam the door and only got up to get the flight attendant's name so he could file a complaint.
