OlderAlec Baldwin’s Phone Tirade With Daughter
Alec Baldwin left an extremely angry voicemail for his and ex-wife Kim Basinger’s 11-year-old daughter Ireland Baldwin when he couldn’t get in touch with her, as reported by TMZ yesterday. Here’s the transcript:
Hey I want to tell you something, okay, and I want to leave a message for you right now, cos again it’s 10:30 her in New York on a Wednesday and once again, I have made an ass of myself trying to get to a phone to call you at a specific time. When the time comes for me to make the phone call, I stop whatever I’m doing and I go and I make that phone call at 11 o’clock in the morning in New York and if you don’t pick up the phone at 10 o’clock at night and you don’t even have that goddamn phone turned on.
I’m tired of playing this game with you. I’m leaving this message for you to tell you that you have insulted me for the last time. You have insulted me. You don’t have the brains or the decency as a human being… 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 as far as I’m concerned.
You have humiliated me for the last time with this phone and when I come out there next week. I’m going to fly out there for the day just to straighten you out on this issue. I’m going to let you know just how disappointed in you that I am and how angry I am with you that you’ve done this to me again.
You made me feel like s*** and you’ve made me feel like a fool over and over and over again. And this crap you pull on me with this goddamn phone situation that you would never dream of doing to your mother and you do it to me constantly and over and over again. I am going to get on a plane and I am going to straighten your ass out when I see you.
Do you understand me? I am going to really make sure you get it. That I’m going to get on a plane and I’m gonna turn around and come home. So you better be ready Friday the 20th to meet with me. So I’m going to let you know how I feel, about what a rude little pig you really are. You are a rude thoughtless little pig. Okay?
Basinger’s publicist Annette Wolfe said, “The voicemail speaks for itself.”
Baldwin’s spokesperson told 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.”

I don’t blame the kid for not answering his call…this probably isn’t the first time he’s talked to his daughter like this, it’s just his sorry a*s got CAUGHT this time!
Magnus I have 3 words for you–Seek Professional Help!
Harvey Levin is an evil pathetic cretin, to have broadcasted this. The broadcasting of this is more damaging to the child, than hat her fatgher did. this should have remained a family matter. Thanks to the evils of Havey Levin and TMZ, now the child is publicly embarrassed. Also I fault Kim Bassinger for releasing this to the public. What mother would embarrass her child that this.
Dang I have to correct my typos:

How the hell can Kim justify releasing this to the public. What Alec did was wrong but Kim did more damage by releasing it to the public.

Hey, we always knew that Alec Baldwin was a cockbag, but who’s worse. Baldwin or the person who leaked their dirty laundry?

I Kim is worse. I think Kim did more damage to her child by releasing this to the public, she should have handled it in private.
We wouldn’t have to worry about the debate on whether it should of been released or not… if Alec would of kept his BIG mouth shut and controlled his anger! I’m sure Alec mocking Ireland’s dancing skills on Letterman hours before the call was made was embarassing enough for an 11 year old but to then have her father call her a couple hours laters and ripped her a new a*shole shows just what an a-hole ALEC is!
I think by Kim releasing this, just shows how manipulative and spiteful she is. She probabaly kept the child from calling Alec.
I also think Harvey Levin and the TMZ staff are evil for broadcasting this, to further hurt the child.
I think she did the right thing by releasing it, like I said before this probably isn’t the first time he has talked to his daughter in this degrading and demeening way and maybe this is what it will take to put an END to it!
I can’t believe some of you are blaming this child for this, as if she deserved it, as if she asked for it… no child deserves to be talked to in this manner whatsoever! She’s a human not a frickin’ animal! I feel bad for her, her father is a timebomb waiting to go off!
#99 you are completely right!!!!! Typical abusive behavior.
I honestly pity the guy. I know he’s famous for his short temper and all, but he just seems to be hurt and frustrated that he keeps being trated badly by Kim and/or her daughter. And for her to release it? Dude, that’s not playing fair at all.
wow. when i read that i thought it wasnt so harsh compared to the things that my dad has said to me in the past. and then i read everyone elses comments and a majority of you guys say “you shouldnt speak to a child like that”…….i swear hitler came back as my dad…..
Next week, Britney will do something stupid and we’ll forgot this whole thing ever happened.
I’m TEAM BALDWIN on this one. This tape should never have been released. Just because she’s 12 doesn’t mean she’s an angel. Kids are intelligent and do a lot of passive aggressive, pre-meditated things to their parents, for one reason or another.
I’ve heard a lot worse than this directed at a child. I’ve had a lot worse directed at me, when I was young. My parents got divorced when I was younger and I can completely understand the anger that Alec must feel when he cannot get in touch with his own kid, who lives with a woman he has no respect for. I don’t think Kim is a horrible person but she should NOT have released this. Alec has a right to be pissed off.
Hooray for alec he cares bout his child about how she will turn out as an adult more parents should excersise more control H O O R A Y you go mr. baldwin
Alec Baldwin shouldn’t be raising a daughter. He stated long ago that he’s not pro women very much. He doesn’t like us that well. He likes the company of men much more. A man’s man.
Alec isn’t trying to raise his daughter, he is trying to control her and calling his daughter and her mother names on voicemail is only going to push her further away!
Maybe Ireland is sick of his controlling ways and thinks he is a “thoughtless pig” & “thoughtless pain in the ass”, I know I think he is!

_______
…calling his daughter names and disrespecting her very own mother is a surefire way to make her turn out a GREAT adult…NOT! Seriously, talking smack about Kim to Ireland was heartless on his part! I hope this child doesn’t have issues with men as she grows up cause their not all as*es like Alec is!
I feel sorry for people how think this is parent advisory!!!You poor,poor souls,i cant imagine how your fathers treated you and how you treat your children.I am shocked that anyone would think this is acceptable parent beahviour.
And how do you people know Kim released this?Please all you can do is speculate to blame her,while there is no proof backing your hate.What we have is an idiot verbally abusing his 12 yeard old daughter,caught on tape,listen to his voice.No wonder Kim divorced the psycho.Good for her.
OH come on now people, HeLLOOOOOO!!!! We know damned well this call was intended for Her Royal Highness Kim!! The call was set for 11 and he called at 10:30 knowing full well Kim would listen in on the voicemail… Let’s not always put the blame on the guy…Women are not always little Saints if you know what I mean. They can be very manipulative at times!!! Knowing full well that people will automatically side with their little drama queen shinanigans!! Hence the releasing of the voice mail by Kim… I rest my case!!!
You, Kathryn, do not presume because my daughter is SOMETIMES disrespectful, doesn’t mean she a “bad” daughter. Honor roll too, reads at 11th grade level, plays bass clarinet, clarinet in band and is in select band (honor band). Particularly a sweet girl who wears her heart on her sleeve and gets hurt by others (she react particularly odd when that happens).
Now you people really ought to look at what he called her it was the word “PIG”, if he truly is a *astard, wouldn’t he have used a much stronger word? If his anger was so out of control; pig is the strongest word that he used against her…again he’s wrong to be angry like that and I would not have reacted that way.
BOTH of these parents are FAILING to take the best interests of the child into consideration. BOTH should IMMEDIATELY LEARN to GET along for IRELAND”S BENEFIT. This back biting cr*p has been going on for far too long, especially in the public media.
Of course he should never have called her names. I think that’s a given. He knows that and I believe he has apologized to her. Otherwise, I don’t have a problem with him being hard on her if she is dong this deliberately. But that’s not my call to make. Eleven or 12 is not a baby. I knew exactly what I was doing at that age. She needs to be told how her behavioraffects or hurts others, even if it’s just adolescent carelessness. Baldwin certainly could have handled his lecture better.
People who have Bassinger’s specific mental health issues can be very manipulative and are experts at playing the victim. My guess is that she has played this hand with her daughter as well. I have a friend with the same disorder who has done this with her child over the years and it has driven the father almost crazy and he felt helpless in the face of losing his relationship with his child.
Until you have gone through or been witness to couples who go through these custody battles you cannot judge who caused what. Or you should at least know better than to judge. I have seen otherwise decent and thoughtful mothers and fathers driven to behavior they would never have believed possible of them. Often the more guilty parent comes out smelling clean when they deliberately set the other parent up and know just what buttons to push. You do not use a parent’s love for their child and desperation to maintain a relationship with that child as a weapon against them.
I don’t think anyone is trying to hold Baldwin blameless. Names can wound a child for a long time. But so can the mother’s behavior. Bassinger is going to have to answer to the judge if she is in any way responsible for releasing this tape. Or even if she encouraged her daughter to miss court ordered contact with her dad. Violation of a court order subjects her to contempt of court which is punishable by fines or jail or other punishment or remedies. At the very least a change in the custody terms. Releasing that tape was just as bad as the name calling. Just as abusive. There is no way that Ireland doesn’t already have issues because of this war.
Lara,
So what are we to do about this now that the tape has been released? Burn an efigy of Alec Baldwin in anger?
Please, I don’t know what goes on in the Baldwin family and I’m not going to suspend my intelligence for a minute and disbelieve this wasn’t done by someone in Kim Basinger’s camp. I work in media, I know how all this goes.
Releasing this tape doesn’t prove that Basinger is the better parent, in many ways this proves that she’s not so great herself.
No one is excusing Alec Baldwin, I’m just not being self-righteous. It’s easy to sit on the internet and pretend like you’ve never said anything crazy to your child, especially because we don’t have taped evidence. At the end of the day the matter is between Baldwin and his daughter and they have to work that relationship out. This tape should not have been made for public consumption.
And Kim Basinger is not a battered woman so stop with the psychoanalysis. She’s getting a divorce and prolonging the custody battle to spite her ex. Neither deserve sole custody and they both need to need to start think in the best interest of her child.
JJ that was brutal. thanks for linking the whole audio.
wow. that’s so teerrible. i can already tell you that girl is going to have some major time in counseling if she is not already in it. coming from a father of a similar temper i know it takes a long time to heal from such hateful words. poor child.
Oh please Franny. If he was so “in love” with Ireland, he would never speak to her that way. End of story. Has Ms. Basinger been diagnosed with an illness or are you just another Alec Baldwin fan who believes in your man? You’re already taking Alec’s word for it that Basinger is nuts. Why assume Kim is dragging the custody battle on and on? What if Alec is responsible. I’m sick of him referring to Basinger’s instability. What an imbecile. I sure wish Kim would write a “tell-all” book and blow his booty out of the water.
Yea Alec used to be cute and sexy, but that’s how naive women get fooled. Women are always sticking up for attractive men. I don’t know why that happens, but it does.
Is it because we came from Adam’s rib?
