17. I sympathize with Alec. As a current law student, I know all to well that family law in most states today, provides SUBSTANTIALLY less rights to fathers then mothers in divorce proceedings. Parental alienation is a huge problem as well. In most states biological fathers have few rights. As most in the family law field would agree, the system needs reform. Even though I am a woman, I sympathize with men in this situation: the system is not fair

18. Here's what I heard: Me, I, Me, Me, Mine, Me, Me, Myself, Me, Me. It was all about how things affect HIM. Don't you know that when you become a parent, Alec, YOU become less important and your CHILD/CHILDREN become priority #1. I don't care if she slighted you, Alec, you do not call your preteen daughter a "rude thoughtless little PIG". What else goes on behind closed doors? One day, she will bring home a date who will act exactly like you, and that will be your legacy.

19. Saw the interview, and sorry to say, ended up less empathetic to his cause then before the interview.

First, he said this is the first time he did something like this... hmmm with that temper. it's pretty hard to believe this is the first time.

Then, he went through and ripped into Kim with numerous example of her bad parenting and failed family relationships.. he even ripped into TMZ...just incredible that The View gave him Carte Blanc for this tiring diatribe... Alec it was your Faux Pas, just fess up and leave it at that....it doesn't help your cause to rip into others. (Me thinks he really hasn't learned much yet).

Wouldn't Kim love an audience to give her side of the story. I can only imagine some of the stories she can relate.. I always say, no matter how thin the pancake, there are always two sides.

Also, I thought it was rude that he kept interuptting Barbara Walters. He either didn't answer her question or insisted on finishing his train of thought.

So bascially he was there to give his own statement and view of things and not take any questions... hmmmmm nice PR work/spin.

20. I just watched Alec Baldwins rant on The View. I cannot believe thisfool is sitting there and blaming everyone else but himself. Is hefor real?Have the women on the view forgotten that this man yelled, insulted and threatened his 11 y.o .daughter?

They sat there and comforted him as he continued to blame everyone from the media to
other victims.

I have never ever felt the need to respond to anything on any of these sites but this made me sick.

I don't really know who is to blame in the divorce and don't really care, All I know is that poor girl has no chance to being normal after living this crap during her short life
Alec, quit acting and disappear, it wouldnt be a great loss!!!!

21. That appearance was a mistake for Baldwin. I sympathized with him before, but he came off as obnoxious and way too caught up in his self-importance. How Rosie and Barbra let him take control of their show is beyond me.

Still, it was a private matter. Most all of we parents do worse, we just don’t have TMZ in our personal lives to make it a worldwide issue.

Alec and Kim – and Ireland -- get over yourselves. Between her screwed up parents and the attention she’s getting over this mess, this kid doesn’t stand a chance.

22. Seriously, my father reacts the same way when I am disrespectful, rude and irresponsible. I've heard rants like this and much worse growing up and I turned out respectful, gratefull and responsible. Get over it, the child needs parenting. You may not agree with it, but thats why the world is full of rude, priveledged little brats who think they are owed everything in return for nothing.

It's called tough love. I side with Alec.

23. alec baldwin is a jerk with a history of this type of behavior. i never liked him, i like him less now.

24. I believe they are ALL to blame in this situation. He made poor judgement. Personally I dont think there is ANY excuse to talk to a child that way. He obviously has anger problems, but he did apoligize. As for Kim, she is using her daughter to hurt him. IMO they BOTH need to grow up and put aside their differences so that their daughter doesn't turn into the next Britney. I think this child would be better off being raised by sane, loving individuals.

25. I really thought you wouldn't have the guts to put this on seeing as it's you and old Harvey that caused all of this. It's time to start thinking when you're hurting a child.

27. It was incredibly wrong to make this tape public. That poor child now has the entire world knowing what should have been private. No one 'leaked' the apology that followed, right? No one 'leaks' the positive interaction. He was wrong for saying it, the mother is worse for making it public. I'm on Alec's side, and I hope that one day he can have as normal a relationship, and as much time with his daughter that he can. If you are not a parent, if you are not involved in a bitter divorce/custody feud, you have no idea what it is like. Bless you Alec and good luck!

28. I not being a huge fan of his thought he was sincere and I could feel his frustration. I have loosley watched this sad for years and having a brother from California who was treated the same way in court and to this day is not seen his children feel his pain and frustration. Its awful that these things happen but the do. Its time this changed. I wish him the best of luck in helping other parents in this situation.

I also caught his pointer to the owner of this site. And I tend to agree with him. I hope your pain and frustation can heal with time. I wish you the best!

29. Harvey, he had some nasty things to say about you. He did his own investigating and several people told him "your story" Better watch your back, he may take his anger out on you next.

I didn't believe him or find him sincere as some other people have.

30. Both sides are behaving like children and I feel sorry for the actual child who is the one who's really playing the price of all this nastiness.
