Baldwin's Late Night Change of Heart

Click to return to TMZ.comJust a few hours before he blasted his daughter on her voice mail, Alec Baldwin had a few laughs at Ireland's expense on "Late Night with David Letterman."

After telling Dave that his 11-year-old was "doing great," Baldwin regaled the live audience with a story about Ireland's new affinity for dancing in public, then playfully mocked a few of her favorite moves.

When Dave asked if Ireland's new passion was embarrassing for him, Alec replied, "Hey, she could be out stealing cars." Funny he should mention that.

Shortly after the taping, Baldwin tried to call his daughter. We all know what happened next.

76. I guess we know who the real pig is! He doesn't even know how old his daughter is? Thank god his tirade was over the phone. Sounds like he might have really hurt her if they were in the same room.

Get help Alex!

77. This guy creeps me out. Why all the stories about him and hardly any coverage about Larry Birkhead? This sight is getting boring.

78. Based on the last comment it is apparent that people are living in their own world. Obviously his anger and disdane came from the fact that he could not get a hold of her in the first place. So if he were there in person the issue would not have arised.

81. The poor kid was humilated by his comments on the Letterman Show. I can see how she would be hurt & not pick up the phone. She was just being a kid and doing inocent things that little kids do.

82. I always thought Kim and Alec were a cute and unusual couple that were way too different for marriage. In the Larry King interview (online) he praised Kim as a mother, he confessed to pretending to be whatever he had to be just to date her, and talked about his bipolar or depression (I do not remember which at this moment), which is why all the problems are still occuring years after their split. Cut everyone some slack here---the child is coping with a parent that has serious mental issues that influence his behavior tremendously, Kim is coping with him and probably trying to protect her daughter, and Alec is probaly all over the place with his mood swings and behaviors---all of which would be very scary for a child. The child comes first---and I guarantee Kim is protecting her child above all else. Life happens in various forms that we sometimes think we understand due to our own personal experiences that appear similar to those we hear about in the media. DO NOT CRITICIZE ANY OF THEM---WE DO NOT KNOW THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY!

83. He doesn't have a clue, it was all about "HIM" ...if Kim had to live with him like this for years, why would she want her daughter subject to it?? He could have responded in a way that would to to heal what is wrong in their relationship. Such as....Honey we need to talk about way you don't want to talk to me....I'll see you tomorrow, love ya

85. I think you are absolutely pathetic as a parent ALex. It matters not what happened between you and Kim (even though it's getting easier to see why she dumped you) no child deserves this kind of crap from someone who supposedly loves her. I sincerely feel very sorry for your little girl. Maybe someday when she can decide for herself she will choose to remove you from her life. This too will make life for Kim much easier to - you are toxic in their lives.

86. Alec, it is a sad/uncomfortable postion you and your daughter have been put in. Your family drama displayed in the public eye. But I am a single parent with a teenage daughter as well. And my experience of working with trouble teenagers, I have seen many situations where are teenagers do get out of control and anger the parent. Teenagers can mentally and physically abuse a parent as well. Out of frustration both sides - teenagers and parents say things out of anger they really dont mean. But it is clear that you do love your child and have her interest at heart, and want her to be safe!! Other wise you wouldnt be calling her at that time of the night..!! Maybe not the best choice of words,,but only you and your daughter can work that out. Your daughter is becoming a teenager now.. NIGHTMARE..lol.. God ,,help all of us frustrated parents..!!..so we can get threw the teenage years with out losing our minds.. Who are we to judge when we really dont know the whole story,and how strong your relationship is with your daughter. It just sad it had to be displayed in the public media. God Bless you and your daughter/family.

87. Explain why you are on the father's side. The guy has some serious problems

88. Dad embarrassed his daughter on national tv, then calls her and expects lovey dovey? He really is clueless. She's the one who should be angry, not him. All she did was not answer the phone, and we aren't even sure if that is the real story.

However, HE, knowing full well what he was doing, tries to make her look silly on national tv, Letterman show, with her friends and the world watching. Well, at least those who watch Letterman.

Doesn't he have a clue how his mimicking her dancing and making fun of her would make an 11 year old girl feel?

Posted at 1:25AM on Apr 21st 2007 by He's either cruel or clueless or just a child himself

89. I am the 56 year old version of "Ireland"...except that it was my Mother who constantly made it her life purpose to demolish my father every single day and to tell us children what a terrible person he was.
Children grow up to be adults and essentially put 2+2 together. My parents were completely "self centered" as are the parents of Ireland. Their "ego's" are so inflated they can not see clearly. With all the money and tools these people have to access they choose to stay stuck and angry. Obviously Mr. Baldwin never took Psycology 101 that tells us "No one ever makes us feel anything that we don't choose to feel". This child will never forget her father's angry attacks on her and her trust level in all her relationships will suffer unless she is a more evolved soul than both of her parents. Hopefully she can do her work and become a "light" to both parents and an example on this earth plane. Blessings and healing I pray.
