Psycho Dad of the Day

Alec Baldwin screams at his 11 year old (or is it 12? Alec doesn’t seem to know) daughter in a voice message because she turned off her cell phone when he wanted to call her. So he’s going to fly over to where she is to “straighten her out”.

Why is he mad? Becauxe she’s a thoughtless pig, apparently--According to Alec. Well, if she is raised by that dufus, what do you expect?

UPDATE: Alec takes a vow of silence. Is this like his promise to move to Canada if Bush won?

WOW!!! This is one scary guy, maybe we oughta start monitoring HIM!! Can’t really blame her for turning off her phone. Who needs to hear that kinda berating. What a creep!

I sent this out to my email list and got this back from a lefty:

“Sad, but this wouldn’t be news if he was for GW...”

Of course he was saying GWBush.  The left blame everything on Bush.  So because baldwin hates Bush, I guess he takes it out on his daughter.  And then the only reason it is newsworthy is because of his dislike for Bush not for the fact that baldwin is a sick mofo.

Baldwin has a history of being an rageaholic. I remember an interview with him in the 80s, around the time he started dating Kim Basinger, that NY makes him crazy sometimes. He was walking down 5th avenue when someone bumped into her, so he punched him thinking it was someone trying to cop a feel. He was going to beat him up. But then he realized it was some just some old man.

I can’t believe he was stupid enough to say that in an interview, but that’s Alec Baldwin. Stupid and angry.

I’m not a fan of Alec Baldwin or his politics, but I’m not ready to condemn him to the degree others are either.  Maybe he went to far, but then again we don’t know the whole story.  He’s upset that he (according to him) went out of his way to make sure he was there for an expected phone call and she blew him off, and then turned off her phone so she didn’t have to deal with him.  We don’t know if his daughter has been acting out or has been disrespectful on a pretty regular basis.  It may have just reached a point where enough was enough.  If I ever blew off my father like that growing up, being called a “thoughtless pig” would have been extremely mild.  And you can be sure I would have been straightened out.  And I had a great childhood and grew up very well-adjusted.

Funny, in the day of apathetic parents, I can’t bring myself to fully condemn a guy who obviously is not afraid to be a father, and not a “friend” or “buddy”, and is willing to discipline a disrespectful child.

What really annoys me is that this sounds like a custody ploy to negatively paint the father. It also bothers me that this is public.  It isn’t the public’s business.

Uber,

I hear what you are saying. That was my impression at first. But as the message wore on I was thinking...he’s this mad because she didn’t take this call? I mean. OK, he calls her every day. But if someone misses my call, does that leave room for this kind of stuff? And then he said because of this he is flying over there to straighten her out?

This is a 11 year old girl he’s yelling at. If she was a teenager, her attitude would be understandable. But at her age it suggests maybe he is such a tool, she doesn’t want to talk to him.

No wonder he leads the Film Actors’ Guild, but does this make him a p***y or an a**hole?

I’d read about his phone call, but I had no idea it was that bad.  I’m beyond appalled. No parent should speak like that to their child, ever.

The phone call is all about him - how inconvenienced he was, how he appeared to other people, etc.  What a narcissistic bastard.

Did it not occur to him to say he hoped everything was okay, that he’s sorry she missed his call, that loved her and to please call him soon?  That’s what a loving parent does.

Good point Bannod,
I hadn’t thought of the possibility that something coulda been WRONG with Ireland! That his first response shoulda been worry....where WAS she, was she OK?? I’m not a parent, I guess that’s why I didn’t think of it.....tho I haven’t heard anyone with that viewpoint. You are exactly right, that should have been his first response...concern for HER.
It was ALL about him!!!
