Alec Baldwin is in deep trouble. An angry voicemail left for his 11 year old daughter was leaked to the press. He called her a pig and said that she didn't have any brains. What was your reaction when you heard about this? How do you think this will play out in the custody dispute he is in with his ex-wife Kim Basinger? This is unreal! Please beware there is some rough language on this. If you haven't heard this voice mail, here's a link: http://www.aolcdn.com/tmz_audio/0419_baldwin.mp3

OH now this really really gets my blood boiling! I cannot even type I am so angered!! grrrrrrrrrrr this is just not right! Not right at all. I have heard of his ranting and raving, and physical abuse in the past but this really takes the cake. NO Father no matter what should ever talk to his daughter like that! Right wrong or indifferent there is NO excuse for a Man to leave a voicemail like that! HE is the stupid one, did he think for one minute that Kim Basinger or the daughter herself would not alert the media or the authorities of this type behavior? He is so conceited, and arrogant and RUDE himself that he thought she would quiver in her boots and just sit still for it? NO WAY!!! Gosh do you think she was ready and waiting on the 20th for her Dad to come and abuse her some more!! No wonder she is fighting so hard in court for her rights. No wonder the little girl doesn't want to be there when he does call! What about when it's convenient for her? She's 12! I hope that this hangs him out to dry for a long time to come. Between his political views (i.e. "If George Bush wins a 2nd Term I am leaving the U.S" Well your still here? Can we escort you out to Siberia? If you don't like it and can't behave like a proud American then get the hell out!!! Love it or Leave it - the this country would be better without him! OK OK OK I have ranted long enough but MAN!!! If he is willing to talk to his own daughter like this imagine how he treats the general public? Ugggh he is the PIG with a capital "P"! OK done sorry !!!!

The daughter and Alec are really close and that came out of the daughters mouth. She loves her father and even stepped up and said that her dad was under a lot of stress and understands. It was the mom that pushed it, not the daughter. But you are right, he did over react. He needs to take an anger class and that is what the judge is looking into as of now. So nothing as of now is going on. I think he might have to take a class, but they are not taking his rights away.

I couldn't have said it any better. This shows his true colors. It sounded like he was so mad that he was spitting and foaming at the mouth. If he were in person I'm sure that his dd would have been terrified. I would have been. He's completely out of control. And he didn't even know how old his own daughter is! I really don't know about his political views but this is enough to make me sick and not want to watch any of his shows or movies. Rant away my friend!

This did not show as anything that had to do with Baldwin. It was a very kaleidoscopic design. This is sad. I had not heard about him doing this. I had heard about the war between him and Kim Basinger over the custody of their daughter. He said some pretty nasty things about about his ex-wife. She said some unkind things about him. I was not sure who was really in the wrong. Now, that I know he call his daughter a pig and said she did not have any brains, I am inclined to think Kim Basinger is in the right. You read a lot about the Baldwin brothers and their not so nice ways. I think fame gets to people. There could be a drinking problem there. Anger management. I think he should be kept away from his daughter.

I thought he was such a good guy! I really don't keep up with celbrities that much unless it really is in the spotlight. The only thing I've known about him is that he's very funny and entertaining. I know that he has tried to raise money for the area where he grew up. There was a lot of cancer there. To hear this has got me so upset. What a terrible thing to say to your own child. What damage it must have done to her. And who knows how many other times he's done things like this before?

Yeah, he worded his words a little harsh, but that doesn't make him a bad father. He is close to his daughter and this whole thing will blow over soon.

A little harsh! I'd never talk to my daughter like that, ever, especially at that age. Oh my gosh that's awful.

Big deal, he was pissed off at his kid for not doing what she was told. I've said worse. And so has nearly every parent in the world.

I haven’t heard the actually voice mail, my pc is running a bit slow but I agree that no father should ever verbally abuse his children. It’s the same as physical abuse and maybe even much worse. Words could leave scars too and it heals much longer than bruises. If my father ever called me names or anything, I would be so hurt and it will probably scar me for life.

Oh yes that is so true. When I heard the tape it hurt me a lot and brought back some bad memories for me. I feel so sorry for that poor girl. Not only abused by her father but for it to be made public.
