A Message To Alec & Kim

so mr. baldwin has had a bad year?a lot of us do,and we dont take it out on our children and grandchildren.the language and veiled threats he used to his daughter smack of child abuse.if he treats an innocent child like that,i can just imagine what his ex went through.just because its verbal,doesnt make it any less abusive.how can you call a child you love a pig?does he not know how hurtful that is?i used to think he was a decent actor,now i plan to never see anything with him in it again.i hope for his childs sake he changes his ways

I think alex really needs to remember what being a parent means. Just because you are in a bad situation doesnt give you the right to take it out on your daughter, remember you are the adults not the child you know better.

IF Bassinger did in fact leak the tapes, then she is also in the wrong. However, there is absolutely no excuse for talking to your child like that. Baldwin claims that he is under alot of stress. So what? I have never called my child that, not even in the most stressful times.

Baldwin's lawyers are trying to hold Bassinger accountable for the leak. Leaking the tape is wrong, but her actions do not even come close to Alec's harsh words.

I believe that what Alec Baldwin has been through matters, but all that anger is not an excuse for the hurtful things he said; nor is it an excuse to take out his anger on his child. If he is angry at his wife, whatever, but he took his anger out on the wrong person----his innocent child. So it does matter that she is 12 years old, it matters a lot. Now she will never forget that her own father called her a pig. These kind of abusive words will stay on a child's mind. I think the fact that it was leaked out, which it doesn't matter by whom, was supposed to happen because whatever you do wrong comes back to you---and therefore it did by ruining his repitation publically.

people make mistakes people need to stop acting like thet are perfect parents and havent snapped at their kids before! Stop throwing stones at the glass house! He probably feels bad enough!

I think this is absurd. I can see how alec might loose his temper. If kim was any kind of decent mother she would have told their daughter to take her fathers phone call. In an already bad situation if MOM was doing the right thing she would direct the child to talk to dad instead of the most likely ( you dont have to if you dont want to ) . Grow up kim and dont put your daughter in the middle any more geeze she does have a dad too you know !!!!

alec baldwin needs to take ownership of his feelings; not blaming his ex or his daughter for how he feels.... plus, as he is pointing out 'his daughter is a rude and thoughtless pig'; he is pointing at himself. 3 fingers point back at someone who is pointing a finger at another person. perhaps alec baldwin is a 'rude and thoughtless little pig'!!!

Who I find dispicable is the one who released this voice mail and TMZ who released it for public viewing.They have shown the world what a disrespectful child his daughter is to push her father to the point where he loses his temper. It's so easy to sit back in a calming backround and judge his behavior. I raised 3 sons by myself and I KNOW how they can push you. Her mother is not teaching her daughter to respect people especially her one and ONLY father. I feel sorry for Ireland as the world sees her as a disrespectful brat. The mother didn't do her daughter any favors. As for the voicemail names try listening to the kids conversations in the mall or in school. They call each other names we haven't heard yet.

SHAME ON YOU ALEC! I don't care how hard your day was or how difficult your "ex" may or may not be. You NEVER say stuff like that to a child. I wouldn't talk to you if all I got from you was lecturing and comments on what you thought of my mother. Your the adult.....ACT like it! Sure I loose my temper and say things to my kids. Maybe uttered a cuss word or two at them, but I don't name call, and place threats,that is so wrong. I don't care how many supportive fans you may have, there is no excuse for that kind of message. Your a man on a rant who clearly needs to get help. For shame Alec, for Shame.

Does Mr. Baldwin actually read these? Does he care what anyone thinks besides himself? Difficult to work with. Difficult to live with. Difficult period.

Why is it that so many celebrities are so fond of putting their feet into their mouths anyway when they say insidiously stupid things so publicly?
First it's Michael Richards with his ill-timed rant on stage at a comedy club, then it's Isaiah Washington's slur against a co-star, then it's Don Imus' dumb comments about a women's college basketball team, and now Alec Baldwin with his daughter.
I think all of these guys are members of a support group called Foot in Mouth Anonymous, and they should all be together in the said support group, so that they won't hurt anyone ever again.

Alex is all about Ego and Power,....not Love. Trying to control his daughter through intimidation,..like he did Kim. Good for Kim!...He's a tyrant, and needs to be exposed and publically shamed. Ireland could be scarred emotionally if he continues with his abusive language. Best to separate yourselves from his negative energy.

To Alex, Kim and Ireland,
STOP THE MADNESS!! We all understand that Ireland is a child and that her fathers words were reprehensable, but the kid didn"t leak the recording. Seems to me that "Mommie Dearest" was holding the phone trying to get a reaction and to shatter the relationship of the already absent father. Alex should stop letting his ex push his buttons. It's obvious that someone's out to make a ba situation worse and going public is really hitting below the belt. Does it matter that the child was humiliated along with the father?

I THINK THEY BOTH SHOULD SIT DOWN AND TALK LIKE ADAULTS NOT 4 YEAR OLDS

So sorry that Baldwin is outraged about being "outed". Abusers don't like being caught in their own tirades.

As a person who has been emotionally abused in her lifetime, I instantly recognized Alec's verbal abuse of his child as just a glimpse of his abusive nature. OF COURSE his ex has tried to keep her daughter's exposure to this abuse to a minimum by limiting the visitation... even against court orders.

I can assure you that this is one of the FEW times Alec actually made the mistake of letting his abusive nature be recorded.... because abusers are notorious for being so "proper" in public.

Can you imagine the years of this kind of go-for-the-jugular nastiness that Kim put up with before recognizing how it was damaging her and her daughter's very souls?
I say, GOOD FOR KIM that she is finally able to show the world Alec's true colors!

And I find it so very sad that even when Alec was faced with listening to his own abusive tirade, he still blamed HIS OWN ACTIONS on Kim and their daughter. As if his own verbal abuse was THEIR fault. That is in itself a sign of a true abuser. "You made me say those things to you..."
BS!!!!!! Alec, GET HELP NOW!!

I think that Alec Baldwin has always had a severe anger problem. His main problem is that he has a "God" complex which enables him to think that he is far superiour to others without any factual evidence at all. Why should we be surprised with the old Freuden slip regarding his violitale attitude towards her?? Since you think that all woman are whores, pigs, etc., then why don't you swing like the baboon that you are to pick you up one of those farm animals. Have Fun!

Alec is a bully and a jerk! "She is 11 years old". And Kim let it him and it go! He is not worth the battle, because in the end all the battle wounds will be with Ireland.
To make it right, pose for Playboy again!

HS-

This tape is a clear indication of what this child has had to hear from him over the years....it is no wonder she does not want to talk to him! And it is evidence of the accuracy of the allegations against him regarding an explosive temper. And his relentless lawsuit motions prove he is obsessive and abusive!

I always liked Alec better than Kim and was really surprised at his tirade. My own father was very similar with his temper and now I am past middle age, I can tell you that it has affected me all my life. I am reading Steven Baldwin's book, Unsual Suspect. I hope and pray that he can share his faith with his bothers and their families because Jesus Christ is the only hope they have to be happy and whole, as far as I am concerned. That poor little rich girl, Irland. God bless and be with her. Her parents surely don't realize the damage that they are inflicting on their only child.

I absolutly disagree that Kim is in the wrong! She had a right for her daughter to let everyone know how he treats people he claims to love. Maybe Ireland or her friend gave it to TMZ, so she wouldn't have to talk or see her abusive "father". He belongs in a cage

What is wrong with the both of you!!! For God's sake this has gone on too long. She's just a little girl caught in the middle of two adults that cannot see clear.
I went through a terrible divorce as well. My ex acussed me of everything imaginable, and though I wanted to wring his neck, I knew that someone had to keep a level head. When gossip came and went from his father's side; out of jealosy by the way! I made sure it was not repeated in my home. Never did I speak negatively to my child about his father. Today my son is 21 years old and lives with me. And although he never forgot all the things that were said and done by his dad, he speaks to him and has a relationship with him because of me. Because I kept a level head, my son is ok, emotionally. He is a wonderful son and an honor student a a university where he studies Psychiatry. He loves me for not ever loosing my cool even when times were tough. Take this into consideration, your child goes first before any hurt feeling, before any hatred, or jealousy. Move on with your lives and be the parents you are supposed to be without malicious rants or manipulations. Your child will reap the rewards and so will you. Today my ex has appologized for all he did, and said toour son, and thanks me for being a great parent. As for him..he is all alone with no one to care for him but his son and I.

Mr. Baldwin...Find yourself a woman to love, and stop thinking so gegatively, you obviously have too much on your hands. Your daughter will love you much more if she can see you as cool as you appear on tv, instead od "Psycho-Dad". No matter what she will always be your little girl. But if you continue to act this way she'll only wind up hating you. If it is Kim talking trash about you, let it go because your actions will speak louder that words, be kind, even to your ex-spouse.

Ms. Basinger...Although sometimes it is tough to keep your cool, do it for the mental health of your daughter. Being vindictive does not make matters any better. Worry about the actions you take in front of your daughter. God will take care of the rest.

It is apparent that Billy Bush and the previous writers have never had prepubesent children and going through an awful divorce. I am a single mother trying to raise teenage children and when you are trying so hard to be a good parent and the other parent is only concerned with being the fun one that lets them do what ever, it can get really frustrating. I have blown up at my daughter, it happens.

Oh how everyone is so quick to judge. good luck to all of you involved. It is so sad that the world is so entertained by your family's pain. god bless.

For me, I immediately stopped watching 30 Rock. I had given Alec Baldwin the benefit of the doubt for a long time. Not anymore. There had been rumors of his temper and violent outbursts and fights for a long time, and after hearing his tirade, I have no respect for that man at all. I am the product of a broken home and bitter divorce as well. I was caught in the middle, but surprisingly caught the verbal abuse from my mother at the time. Those are scars that don't leave..you can get on with your life and you can choose not to let them rule your life, but those scars are there for good. No amount of apologizing from Alec will take away those moments from her life that she had to endure hearing her dad call her names and threaten her.

I hope and pray that Kim and Alec will stop all of this, go their seperate ways and let Ireland live a more quiet and peaceful life.

I think that if you are not a parent you will never understand.

Also, there are no perfect parents, and Lord knows, there are no perfect children.

If Mr. Baldwin was not a celeb, non of us would be non the wiser, that is a fact.

Although, my children are all ggrown up now, please believe me, children will send you there sometimes.

If ye are without sin, go ahead and throw the first stone. It's hard being a parent, and never losing your temper. I'm not saying what he said was right, but come on, he is a person, not God.

I AM IN A ATTORNEY BATTLE HIGH PROFILE TOO- MY X WONT LET ME SEE MY KIDS- 2 YEARS NOW- I AM FALLING APART SO SICK- I CANT BELEIVE ALL THE BASHING YOU R GETTING- DONT PEOPLE UNDERSTAND IF WE USE OUR KIDS AS PAWNS ITS SO MEAN AND IF WE LOVE THEM WE MUST GET ALONG FOR THE SAKE OF THEM- ALEX HELP ME SEE MY KIDS - I STAND UP FOR YOU-

GIVE THE MAN A BREAK AND LET HIM SHARE HIS KID- WE ALL GET MAD- NOBODY IS PERFECT AND IF YOU FIND A PERFECT SOUL EVEN THEY MAKE MISTAKES.

What Mr. Baldwin said to his daughter is horrific and disgusting. However, EVERY parent has said something to their children or done that they wished they hadn't. In addition, what he said is fogiveable. I also think that Ms. Basinger is in denial about her daughter being so grown and wise. I believe she does try to influence Ireland against her father. The both will never recover if Ireland commits suicide becase she does not want to choose between them.

Also I think your show and ET should not keep playing the tape over and over. Your show does not care about Ireland, just ratings. What you are doing is just as bad as what Mr. Baldwin said.

It seems that noone cares about Irelands feelings.

P.S. I watch your show all the time. Please don't play Mr.Baldwins tape again.

I am appauled at the compassion people have for Alec on his website and how these tabloid shows are saying Kim vs Alec. It's all about IRELAND. She is the one who is being manipulated by a narcassist and a codependent. If Alec hit her would we not Scream abuse. If Kim stood there while he hit her would we not say why didn't she protect her. Facts are: he had displaced anger and used it against his daughter, do we really think this is the first time. American needs to protect OUR CHILDREN. VERBAL ABUSE IS WRONG! if we kicked Imus off the airs for "Nappy Hoes' I hope family court sees this as abuse and does not allow these children to be in the shadow any longer. GIVE IRELAND a voice! Let's have compassion for the person who needs it the most. The abused children of the world!

What Alex did is very sad for all involved, but I think Kim is disgusting for releasing something so incredibly personal. Now her child has to hear this EVERY day all over the media.
He has issues, but she is manipulating a lot of what is happening!

I have come from both sides of this. I was married and had step children that stole my credit cards and charged items on them. I totally supported my husband at that time with his comments to his children. Today I am now divorced from that man and shortly after divorce last year my 19 year old daughter (our golden child, very close to my ex-husband for many years) called me and was crying so hard I couldn't understand her. Finally I understood that my ex-husband had been angry because of her and my relationship, had said she had "polluted his life", and that he couldn't let her continue to do this. How do you make this type of a statement okay?

Yes, Alec lost his cool with his daughter, because of the divorce situation. Yes, he is the adult but so is his exwife! I have seen all too often parents using their children as pawns to get what they want. The fact that the voicemail was leaked to the public is discrageful. While it made him look bad, it certainly showed Kim Bassinger was a small minded petty person. I have watched a family member go thru a horrific divorce and custody case. Parents need to remember that their difficulties are between them and they need to stop using their children as weapons against each other. They need to encourage their children to have healthy relationships with each parents, not make them choose which parent they love more. That causes more psychological damage then being called a selfish pig.

Saw Alec on The View. He sure did take his pop shots at Kim and on national tv. The guy isn't too bright. He runs her down too much and the kid hears this...why does he think she won't answer the phone.

I defiantely am of the opinion this is a mamas boy who is spoiled and wants his way and has no clue of what a man is or how man should be or act.

As a man he should protect and care about his ex-wife and daughter like a man.

Bruce Willis is a great guy and has respect for Demi and would not bash the mother of his children.

If your a manchild you have no clue what that means.

He should stay of the tv about this.

I believe Mr Baldwin directed his comments just where and to whom he wanted them to be directed to. His lame justifications and reasoning only prove to me further that he is an abuser and a bully.
He claims "parent alienation" but is it not true that one should distance themselves from someone abusive?
Some of the media enabled Mr Baldwin's behavior "His comments were directed at his former wife and not his daughter" Some how that excuse's it?.
Blame the victim and not the abuser, that way we can feel less uncomfortable about our inability to confront truth. Abuse is a cycle that never seems to end, Now I see a few of the reasons why.

I've been yelled at by my parents in worse ways than that when I was a total ass to them.....I came out okay.
I know they love me regardless of the things I put them through when I was a teenager.

There are parents who beat their kids, abuse their kids sexually and kill them for no reason. Those people in my opinion ARE bad parents! Peace out.
