Why is Alec Baldwin apologising on The View?
I don’t know what he said; I’m only vaguely aware of him saying something that this time angered the whole country, instead of just half of it. But I thought what he said was something to his child. Certainly he owes the child an apology, if what he said was bad enough to get everyone else all riled up. But wouldn’t that apology be more genuine in its handling if it came directly from the father to the child and didn’t involve the cast of The View.
Is there a rehab for him to go to now?
I’m so sick and tired of these public ‘apologies’ from famous people. They seemed designed by some press-manipulating concern whose first goal is to keep the name of the client or the wronged collective in the spotlight as long as possible. I’d just love it if these famous people would act right in the first place so I didn’t have to hear for the next three weeks about how their consequences for stupidity are so much different than ours.
He left a long, hateful message on her voice mail calling her a pig, swearing at her, and stumbling around her age. He didn’t know whether she was 11 or 12. He said this was the last time she was going to make a fool out of him with this phone. He went on and on. It was horrible. I think it amounts to child abuse. Unfortunately, I have heard some people saying it wasn’t that bad and blaming his ex-wife for leaking it to the media. I disagree. It was hateful and self-centered. Who knows how much more abuse that poor child has had to deal with in her young life. If her mother did leak it to the press, I think she is just as guilty for putting her daughter through this just to expose her ex. I agree that his apology should be to his daughter and not a public spectacle. Unfortunately, it’s another case of selfish celebrities thinking the world revolves around them. No apology can make up for what he did. I will never watch anything with him in it again.
