Alec Baldwin reunited with the daughter, 12, he called a 'rude pig'

[potato_chips]

Baldwin taking drugs, screaming, and acting crazy towards her is his way of preparing her for a normal life in hollywood.

Am I the only one here who wasn't called nasty names by his/her parents, and who thinks that isn't normal? You *can* discipline a child without calling them inappropriate names.

I have no idea. I've been called plenty of nasty names, especially by my [evilfatwhore] step mom, before, and it's certainly not normal. Regardless if a parent, step parent, guardian, or whatever, calls the kid a name, even once in a while, it's still verbal abuse, and somehow, you're still fucking up your kids somehow, because you're giving them negativity. Parents need to be nice.

And, apparently, flawless.

Man, my mom and grandma could out yell most anyone. But it was never vicious or as long as Alec's. Not even close. In fact, I'd bet if my grandma heard that call, she'd chase Alec with a broom. She was a gusty old bird.

Exactly. He was waaay beyond the pale on that one.

ALEC is the pig here. Know why? Two things.

1. He wouldn't take responsibility. Oh, poor baby Alec, you hate her mom 'cause she won't let you have your way...or whatever. No reason to shit on your daughter. And if you do, own it. Don't blame your ex-wife, your daughter or anybody else for YOUR nasty behavior.

2. If he loves his daughter SOOOO much, he should move his fat ass to California. Oh, but that would interfere with HIS lifestyle. Riiight. My brother in law moved across the country to be near his daughter AND support his ex-wife's attempts to better herself through a graduate degree and a career. Now THAT is grownup behavior.

Kim may be nice, or she may be Joan Crawford on a bad day--whatever, that's not the point, 'cause none of that makes Alec smell any better. He's always had a rep as a self-centered, coke-snortin' angry psycho, and I don't really believe men like him just magically change. They simply cover their tracks better next time, and lie.

i totally blame Kim Basinger for all the shit that this poor daughter has gone thru. i dont excuse what Alec said, but come on, what parent hasnt said something they regret? Kim has dragged this shit thru courts for something like 10 yrs now. i feel sorry for the daughter. there's a reason kids kill their parents.

Amen Sista!

[yanna]

My parents have said way worse things than me and I've never held it against them. I think little Ireland should be happy her father gives a shit to actually want to talk to her and all that considering what her mother has been putting him through. None of it is the kid's fault, of course.

Girl looks just like her daddy. Not good for a girl...

And, apparently, flawless.

I never said they had to be "flawless". If the kids aren't misbehaving, then you just don't yell at them. What's the point? Because then they'll eventually stop listening to the parent all together, and the parent will get even more frustrated, and... whatever, it's pretty much pointless trying to argue a point with a Gossip Rocks member.

[msdeb]

my parents never once said anything negative to me. and i turned out to be a real shit. so ya just never know

[kingcap72]

So, he got pissed and called her a 'rude little pig?' Big deal. Most parents say worse crap than that to their kids when they're angry. I know mine did. And I'm pretty sure Alec didn't expect his psycho ex-wife to leak it to the public.

Agreed. My parents were pretty good about holding back teh name-calling but every so often I'd push them and push them and they'd lose it. The same thing happens with my kids. It sucks, you feel guilty but thankfully most of us aren't filmed and/or taped on those few occassions we are shitty, rotten parents.

^^^^
exactly.
to me it's far worse that kim made the tape public than than alec momentarily lost it and yelled at his kid out of frustration.

[MissDecember]

He didn't just call her a rude little pig....this was a long drawn-out rant, very hostile and malicious in tone. I tend to believe that where there's smoke there's fire, and when somebody is caught on tape being naughty it is a sliver of how naughty they are around the clock, case in point Dog the Bounty Hunter. My parents were not flawless but they were able to discipline without resorting to name-calling or other verbal abuses. I guess I was naively unaware of how common and widespread calling one's children mean-spirited names is.

^^So true, but Ms. B is one manipulative bitch.
