Alec Baldwin berates his 11 yr old daughter in abusive voicemail rant

[Always Sore]

Another classic. Love when he walks into Jim's house and its empty.

ShutupNtrain, you are giving me scary flashbacks.  {cringing inside}

[tu_holmes]

What is that?

I use the definition from the movie Gross Pointe Blanke.

Shakabuku: It's a swift, spiritual kick to the head that alters your reality forever.



The real definition is: The process by which we share our Faith with others, and assure all to whom we speak, that everyone is capable of attaining Buddhahood

My point was that maybe the girl needs a kick in the head... Kids can be very thoughtless, and it's a parents job to tell them so... If her mom won't, then her dad SHOULD.

I found nothing abusive in that at all.

That is a fantastic word. Thanks for the info.

I thought it was kinda funny that he didn't know whether she was 11 or 12. 

HAHAHA...you got that too, huh?

From Alec:



Everybody's favorite father just posted the following message on his official website:

"Thank you to everyone who has posted messages of suppport and understanding. Naturally, it is not best for a parent to lose their temper with their child. Everyone who knows me privately knows that I have endured a great deal over the last several years in my custody litigation.

Everyone who knows me privately knows that certain people will go to any lengths to embarass me and to disrupt my relationship with my daughter. In such public cases, your opponents attempt to take a picture of you on your worst day and insist that this is who you are as a person.

Outside the doors of divorce court, I have friends, I have respect from people I work with and I have a normal relationship with my daughter. All of that is threatened whenever one enters a court room.

Although I have been told by numerous people not to worry too much, as all parents lose their patience with their kids, I am most saddened that this was released to the media because of what it does to a child.

I'm sorry, as everyone who knows me is aware, for losing my temper with my child. I have been driven to the edge by parental alienation for many years now. You have to go through this to understand. ( Although I hope you never do.)

I am sorry for what happened. But I am equally sorry that a court order was violated, which had deliberately been put under seal in this case. Once my book is published, I'm sure more people will understand the incredible strains created by parental alienation.

In the meantime, I'm sorry to anyone who's taken offense from this episode."

[24KT]

A "normal" relationship with his daughter? All that is threatened when you enter a court room?
It's also threatened when you unleash abusive venom on your CHILD. You just don't speak to your child like that !

Apparently a judge is part of the conspiracy to alienate him from his "normal" realtionship with his daughter,
...because he has been ordered NOT TO HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH HER.

[legbreaker]

I don't know I don't really think that is anything bad.  The content was not violent, threatening or anything.  Growing up in my house there wasn't as much words and just a beaten to straighten you out.  maybe some discipline (spoken not violent) is just what the spoiled kid needs.

I think alot of kids today could use some discipline...it's a forgotten thing.

[Pollux]

Exactly! Like the beating of the ass!

[Dos Equis]

I didn't have a problem with the rant till he talked about her brains and called her a pig.  The rest is nothing more than an angry, frustrated parent scolding his kid. 

I fault Bassinger for releasing this private matter to the world.  What a calculating, cruel act. 

[Earl1972]

that girl is probabaly a little brat that deserved it

E

[ToxicAvenger]

Um... Maybe she IS a rude thoughtless pig.

Sometimes a kid needs a Shakabuku, or else they shoot up College Campuses when they turn 20 or so.

agreed!

Blake: These are the new leads. These are the Glengarry leads. To you, these are gold; you do not get these. Because to give them to you would be throwing them away.

Blake: Your name is "you're wanting", and you can't play the man's game, you can't close them, and then tell your wife your troubles. 'Cause only one thing counts in this world: get them to sign on the line which is dotted. You hear me you fuckin' ####?

Blake: A-B-C. A-Always, B-Be, C-Closing. Always be closing, always be closing.

Blake: What's the problem, pal?

Dave Moss: You -
[correcting him]

Dave Moss: Moss. You're such a hero, you're so rich, how come you're coming down here wasting your time with such a bunch of bums?

Blake: You see this watch? You see this watch?

Dave Moss: Yeah.

Blake: That watch costs more than you car. I made $970,000 last year. How much you make? You see pal, that's who I am, and you're nothing. Nice guy? I don't give a shit. Good father? Fuck you! Go home and play with your kids. You wanna work here - close! You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you ####? You can't take this, how can you take the abuse you get on a sit? You don't like it, leave

Blake: You got leads. Mitch & Murray paid good money. Get their names to sell them. You can't close the leads you're given, you can't close shit, *you are* shit, hit the bricks pal, and beat it, 'cause you are going *out*.

Shelley Levene: The leads are weak.

Blake: "The leads are weak." The fucking leads are weak? You're weak. I've been in this business fifteen years...

Dave Moss: What's your name?

Blake: Fuck you. That's my name.
[Moss laughs]

Blake: You know why, mister? 'Cause you drove a Hyundai to get here tonight, I drove an eighty thousand dollar BMW. *That's* my name.

Dave Moss: We don't gotta sit here and listen to this.
Blake: You CERTAINLY don't pal, 'cause the good news is - you're fired.

Blake: PUT THAT COFFEE DOWN. Coffee is for closers.

Blake: You call yourself a salesman, you son of a bitch?

one of the best movies ever!

[Earl1972]

Tell me your making a joke??? Glengary Glenross...freaking classic movie.

[Lundgren]

I think the full family is just fucked. I mean the dad sends the message the mom gives it to the public so i'm thinking hte kid probaly needs to hear that message.

[Old_Rooster]

First guy that sex's up the soon to be single Kim Basinger will most likely get OJ'd by Alec Baldwin.
Its obvious Alec still wants that pussy to belong to him!  This ain't about the kid, its about Kims pussy about to
be open to the public again.

Wow...........You're. Not. Too. Bright.

"Beetle-fucking-juice??" My god, don't ever debate me again on any issue on this website.

Don't ever debate anyone for that matter.

Ever again.

it was a joke you idiot

now you are the one that can't debate me

i'm still trying to figure out why you tried to begin with

Clarify yourself then. Based on yourt past postings I was inclined to agree with the notion that you really thought that dialogue was from Bettlejuice.

Why would I not put that past you?

[Earl1972]

Why would I not put that past you?

because you hate me and are still holding a grudge over past ownings

E

[UPINTHEMGUTS]

because you hate me and are still holding a grudge over past ownings

E

I don't hate anyone, dude. Hate's a strong word. How can I hate someone I don't even know?

Have I ever by some chance ever "owned" you on any level in the past? I'm guessing you'll say no. What a shocker. I seriously doubt you would give anyone the privilege of knowing as to whether you've ever been "owned". But you always respond to my statements so my words must have some weight to it.

[Earl1972]

Have I ever by some chance ever "owned" you on any level in the past?

no

what would make you think you did?

[pumpster]

Good that this came out, so that maybe now finally after decades of denial he'll get needed help. Maybe - he's clearly still in denial.

Gee i wonder why she didn't take the call. Maybe it's happened before?
