Alec Baldwin Gives His "View"

76. "Oh Stan***** #36 Who gives a rats ass about your personal problems - if you called your daughter/son a "rude thoughtless little pig" you deserved everything you got (or didn't get)."

Umm, if courts would enforce their own court orders men would not be in these binds.

I never made calls like that to my son, BUT I clearly see AB's frustration and know how he feels.

Why are women held to such a low standard? Do many feel they are inferior and need extra help, assistance, and aid all the time?

Men just want basic fairness and to be Dad.

Personally I'd like help when the abusive ex pushes my son down the stairs. Or makes him wear shoes three sizes too small for a year. Why can't the kid get help? Because a woman did it. This is a lot worse than an angry phone call from AB.

The double standard just says that A) Women are inferior and B) Men don't matter and so will not be helped.

77. What a great performance! I can't believe that people are buying this jerk. He's an ABUSER. He has abused his ex and now it's his daughter. Go away, Alec!

78. Actually he said something to the effect of
I am unable to answer or (when pressed by Barbara) not willing to answer.

The more I think of the interview, the more he comes across as obnoxious and full of himself.

Interesting how he mentioned how Kim and her mother didn't get along (point to some generational parental alienation problem), and then went on to mention that he and his mother have had an on/off relationship since his parents separated. Hmmmm

He welled up with tears as he mentioned the voicemail his mother left him (something about planting pumpkin seeds.....(translated into going forward with your life), and then he cut her down my referring to her voicemail as nonsense (or some similar word).
HUH? His personality reminds me of the typical overbearing person who helps you up with one hand and smacks you with the other. Very confusing?

That said, I think the view should have his mom on, she sounds pretty incredible, having survived cancer, a stroke and is living with diabetes, is 78 and really has her handsful with her sons especially Alec & Daniel.

Wonder what she is getting for Mother's Day this year???

79. I myself have had to keep my cool over the years dealing with an evil evil evil evil evil evil ex of my husband. I will blow up at times when I cant take no more. I am human and kids do know when they are being disrespectful. now I dont use vulgar language, or call names but I will escalate my voice to the highest mountain so that they know enough is enough with me at that time then its back to business as normal. The kids live, I live and they know they better save that crap for another occasion to make their evil mom happy because Im not for it that particular day. I dont agree with the words you used but I do agree with the message behind it. You love your daughter and wanted to talk to her but her mother obviously doesn't encourageher to respect youor communicate with you because if I know my kids dad is suppose to call at say 3oclock then Its my responsibility to remind my child to wait by the phone for daddy's call. Kim is borderline obviously but since she is an actress she's acting like she's perfectly okay when there aredefinitely hidden issues. Only some1 you really care about can get you that upset Alec so keep caring.

80. What custodial parent can look them self in the mirror & function on a daily basis keeping their child from the other parent. Striping the child from their security & their life telling them that the other parent is bad is telling them a part of them is bad we are talking about innocent children they did not ask to be brought in to this world. Your guilt of a failed marriage/relationship should not involve the child leave them out of it let them form their own opion of their parent(s).

81. I'm so glad his performance didn't get past most people on here. From the moment he said "Don Imus sent me flowers" I knew where he was going......Smokescreens & Mirrors was all that Interview was, & I'm glad he revealed himself to the world, showing just how arrogant he really is!! Blaming others, discrediting his wife on National TV & trumping his oh so goodie goodie nature was nauseating. He has REAL issues that he is still obviously blind to.
I too hope this self-revealing performance is not lost on the Judge in this matter.
If I were Kim this would have made my Day!!!!!!!!!

82. You are all retarded. I'm going to venture out here and say not a single one of you know KIm or Alec, yet you are all posting like you know first hand what's going on.........GET A LIFE!

83. AS A FEMALE I SHOULD SIDE WITH THE EX-WIFE, ONLY IN THIS CASE I DON'T. THIS EX-WIFE INSTEAD OF BEING A CONCERNED MOTHER FOR HER CHILD, SHE MADE HERSELF INTO ONE VICIOUS. FEMALE. A CHILD WAS PRODUCED AND HAS A FATHER. WHO SUPPORTS HER MONEY WISE AND SURELY LOVES HER ENT ITLED TO SEE HIS DAUGHTER AS ORDERED IN THE DIVORCE. SHE HAS PUT HIM THROUGH HELL AND PROBABLY TALKED AGAINST THE EX-HUSBAND THAT HAS PUT THE CHILD IN A CROSSROAD, NO MOTHER OR FATHER SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO DO THAT. WHAT BALDWIN DID WAS WRONG, BUT I GUESS THERE ARE HATEFUL WOMEN THAT CAN DRIVE A MAN TO DO WHAT HE DID. THEY BOTH NEED HELP. MOST LAWYERS ARE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE CHILDREN INVOLVED, MONEY IS THE NAME OF THEIR GAME. I THINK BALDWIN GOING ON THE VIEW WAS GOOD, AND HE WAS ABLE TO EXPLAIN HIMSELF BETTER THAN THE TABLOIDS.. WOULD.

84. I totally understand Alec's frustration in trying to maintain a normal as possible relationship with his daughter. I was a single mother of four girls, and one boy...my ex and I could not agree on anything. Only thing was, he was an attorney - a father's rights advocate, who was able to take my children on a regularly scheduled visit, never to return them to me. He made a point of feeding my children lies about me, etc. To be loyal to their father, they learned to hate me as much as he did. They were not allowed to see, or speak to me. i have a good relationship with two of them now, but it took years to aquire this. I still have hope for the other three. This sort of thing happens more than you think. It is heartbreaking for the parent who is stripped of their "parental rights", but even more harmful to the children who have to grow up without the other parent! Everyone copes with hurt & rejection in different ways...don't be so quick to judge Alec Baldwin till you've walked in his shoes!

85. Great performance, Alec, really worked up some good tears there, reminded of the first judge on the Anna Nicole Simpson case. I can't believe he tried to justify what he did. I am sure there are major problems coming from both sides. I didn't see enough remorse for his daughter. This was suppose to be about his daughter and he made it all about him and trying to promote his book. He is just sorry he got caught. It's like a person getting caught cheating on their spouse, they are usually just sorry they got caught. I feel so sorry for this little girl, she is going to live with these word for the rest of her life.

86. ALEC WITH ALL YOUR MONEY YOU SHOULD INVEST IN SOME PARENTING CLASSES, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH BUT YOU HAVE BEEN A HOT HEAD FROM DAY ONE.LEARNING HOW TO TALK TO KIDS IS KEY IN RAISING THEM, IF YOU LOOSE THEIR RESPECT YOURE _______ AND I THINK YOU NEED ANGER MANAGEMENT AND A HARD LOOK AT YOUR PARENTING SKILLS. YOU ONLY GET ONE LIFE WITH THESE GUYS DONT BLOW IT ALEC.

87. Alec is pathetic!!!!

Posted at 1:49AM on May 10th 2007 by Alec is a Bully

88. I can't believe people are being sympathetic to him. He still hasn't accepted how bad his behvaior was, it's still somebody's else's fault. Ok, let's give him his claim that his ex wife is trying to keep him away from his daughter---she's almost old enough now to make her own decisions, and what MIGHT motivate her to spend time with her dad? Getting screamed at, or being loved? If he wants a relationship with his daughter, well dude you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. You cannot MAKE her daughter want you, you have to be a person she can respect and want to be with. Screaming at her, trashing her mother in public isn't how to get what you want.

And dude, you're the adult. You have 100% control over how you act 100% of the time. Nobody can make you do anything. Nobody else's mouth called your daughter a pig. YOU DID.

89. I like alec. Always will. One of my favorite actors. I agree, what he did was wrong. He shouldn't talk to his child like that. BUT...he was frusterated, wants to see her and be w/ her. That is no excuse, I know...but he's sorry, apologetic, sincere. Go Alec!
