Alec Baldwin just posted the following statement on his website, in response to the tape that was leaked to the media, in which Alec loses his temper on his daughter’s voicemail:
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.
I can’t judge him for this. Man, if you heard some of the stuff my dad has yelled at me. And some of the stuff I’ve yelled back. My dad was a tough dad but in no way evil or awful and I’m not troubled. I think if you let a camera into any of our lives, things would look pretty bad.
And I’m not just saying that because I find him super hot…. or maybe I am. No, I’m not.
^ I think you must be if you think that is acceptable behavior ;O)
nice plug for your book, asshole.
What you have done is extremely ludicrous, my good man. They take children away from their parents for things like that. It’s unhealthy for you and the child you have verbally abused. Take whatever proceeds from your book, which you have so shamelessly used your child as a plug for, and seek counseling.
he has a website??????
only a person that all ready has an abusive controlling attitude toward their child or spouse would ever consider speaking to their child in that manner, he says he was pushed to it by parental alienation, well Mr Baldwin, you just jumped off the edge to total alienation, your daughter will never feel safe with you and the pain may lessen for her but she will never totally forget. You have only yourself to blame. You are pathetic
Alec, I totally understand the pain you are going through. As a MOTHER of PAS, from a father who was a meth addict, this is a very painful thing to go through. What you said to your daughter was no harm. Dont beat yourself up over it. I know you understand that she is confused and it is not her to blame for this behavior, yet how can a child that once adored you now all of a sudden not want to even see you? PAS is child abuse. No question about it. Hang in there, she will eventually see who is the abuser.
