Alec Baldwin on The View Friday

[Alicnwondrln]

Rosie just announced it
he will be there live, i cant believe they got him
I didnt know him and Rosie were friends
wow

 

[FergieTCat]

Diedre Imus was on last week and didn't even mention her husband's name. I imagine that Alec Baldwin will not mention his wife or daughter.

I feel bad for him. While what he said wasn't right - parents go off at their kids all the time all over the world with way worse than that - no it doesn't make it right - but the only reason this is in the news is because he's a celebrity. Whomever leaked this tape is, in my opinion, even more in the wrong than he is for leaving a message like that. That little girl still has to go to school and face her peers. It could have been handled privately.

 

[Alicnwondrln]

I think whoever leaked the tape is just as bad
it was awful what he said but now everyone knows about it probably cuz of the mom
i doubt the kid gave the tape to TMZ

 

[LittleBlue22]

oh ya they're friends. Remember that undercover movie where they had to play husband and wife w/ Dryfuss and there was a big dog? They might have been friends long before then too.

I am not surprised she got this interview.

I hope nothing is mentioned of his daughter and the tape...She is a child, and that is what is important.

 

[Chloe'sMom]

I think I'll TIVO that episode.

I think they are gonna talk about paretn alineation
I dont think they will talk about the call but who knows
barbara started to say something about it and rosie cut her off

He was complaining to CNN that all this was under seal (or should have been) and now he's going to appear and yap about it? I hope Kim's lawyers are watching for every word he says.

 

[Patch'sD]

Rosie was pretty pro Baldwin on Monday, I guess he figures this is the best Platform for him to tell his side of the story, Friendly Ground with Rosie and Joy.

 

[SwedishMeatball]

A discussion on parent alienation would be fine, but I just hope there aren't a lot of implied jabs at the mom because that is not going to help the daughter either. I'm sure he feels the need to defend himself, but his daughter's interests should come before concerns about repairing his image. If they do end up discussing it (it seems like it would be really difficult to ignore that white elephant in the room), then I hope he takes complete responsibility for his choice instead of trying to blame Kim. They are both guilty of a lot of crap, but using the other persons actions to justify their own is lame and irresponsible.

It "appears" that he's going to "yap about it"? And from where did you get this information?

 

[GoofieRuthie]

If I remember correctly, they said that he called and asked to be on the show. He wants to tell his side. I was listening while I got ready for work, so I might be wrong. I'll rewatch it tonight.

 

[TheDisneyGirl02]

Alec Baldwin needs all of the exposure he can get right about now!

I also just read on Yahoo that Rosie is leaving The View in June but will appear on a few episodes next year...interesting...

 

[Cass]

And from where did you get this information?

To you too!

in a transcript provided to The Associated Press by "The View"

Walters: "You didn't mean to say it to your child?"

Baldwin: "Well, there's nothing wrong with being frustrated or angry about something," he replied. "It's the way you do it, and as people often do in this world, I took it out on the wrong person because I'm unable, under the current dynamic, to address the other person."

Walters: "You said it to your daughter, but you meant it for your ex-wife?"

Baldwin: "Well, I think that goes without saying, quite frankly,"

So, like I said ~ he is on the View yapping about it.

I hope nothing is mentioned of his daughter and the tape...She is a child, and that is what is important.

I agree...poor girl. Life is tough enough when you are that age but to throw all of this on top of it, can't be easy! She probably just wants a normal life.

 

[Cass]

Another article I read says he's going to take 3 - 5 years off of acting and become an advocate against parental alienation, do talks and write a book - give me a break, the guy is such a goof.

 

[LakeAriel]

Maybe everyone who heard the actual tape..tore it apart, analyzed it, spun it, judged it, etc...can tune in and hear what he says. With hundreds of views and posts over the tape, by all means listen to his side.

 

[korzmom]

the one that turned the tape in was probably his x wife, what better way to make him look bad and get the cutody she has been fighting for all these years. i think the poor kid is screwed up for the rest of her life,she'll be writing books on mommy aand daddy dearest.

 

[Cass]

I agree that turning that tape over to the media for air time was more damaging to the daughter than the actual words on it. It's a big mess now and it's going to get worse. IMO
