Alec Baldwin's Threatening Message to Daughter
An enraged Alec Baldwin unleashed a volcanic tirade of threats and insults on
his 11-year-old daughter, Ireland, calling her a "thoughtless little pig," and
bashing her mother Kim Basinger -- and TMZ has obtained the whole thing
unfiltered and raw. And we've learned, a family law judge was so alarmed after
hearing the tape, she has temporarily barred Baldwin from having any contact
with his child. 
After
Ireland failed to answer her father's scheduled morning phone call from New York
on April 11, Alec went berserk on her voice mail, saying "Once again, I have
made an ass of myself trying to get to a phone," adding, "you have insulted me
for the last time."
Switching his train of thought, Baldwin then
exercised his incredible parenting skills and took a shot at his ex-wife,
declaring, "I don't give a damn that you're 12-years-old or 11-years-old, or a
child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn't care
about what you do." The irate Baldwin went on to say, "You've made me feel like
s**t" and threatened to "straighten your ass out."
"This crap you pull
on me with this goddamn phone situation that you would never dream of doing to
your mother," screamed Baldwin, "and you do it to me constantly over and over
again."
Before hanging up, Baldwin warned the child, "You better be ready
Friday the 20th to meet with me." That's tomorrow.
We've learned that on
Wednesday, Los Angeles County Superior Court commissioner Maren Nelson heard the
tape and temporarily suspended Baldwin's visitation rights. A hearing is set for
May 4, where the judge could permanently deny Baldwin visitation or contact with
Ireland.
Calls to Basinger's attorneys, celebrity lawyers Neal Hersh and
Judy Bogen, were not returned.
Baldwin's lawyer, Vicki Greene, told TMZ,
"Whatever happened yesterday was sealed and confidential. What you're telling me
you've got you shouldn't have."
UPDATE: Basinger's publicist, Annette Wolfe, told TMZ: "The voicemail speaks for itself."
UPDATE: A friend of Alec Baldwin's just contacted TMZ to say that the actor called Ireland last week and apologized for his outburst. The friend added that Ireland is the most important thing in the world to Alec and that he is frustrated because over the last six years, Kim has "tried everything" to alienate Ireland from him.
UPDATE: Alec Baldwin's spokesperson released the following statement to the TV show "EXTRA": "In the best interest of the child, Alec will do what the mother is pathologically incapable of doing ... keeping his mouth shut and obeying the court order. The mother and her lawyer leaked this sealed material in violation of a court order. Although Alec acknowledges that he should have used different language in parenting his child, everyone who knows him privately knows what he has been put through for the past six years."
