Probably realising that his statment to Extra didn’t go down so well with the yummy mummy crowd (and any other right thinking person), Alec released yet another response to TMZ revealing that he is in fact a douchebag on his own website alecbaldwin.com:

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

If your eyes started to glaze over whilst reading that, I put some of the more entertaining statments in bold.  Probably my favourite part is right at the end where Baldwin actually tries to use his verbal abuse of his own daughter as a way to pimp out the release of his new book.  That takes balls (or a super-sized ego)

Also, what kind of people is Alec Baldwin surrounding him with that instead of issuing an out and out apology for his behaviour, actively encourages him by posting ‘messages of support and understanding’ and telling him ‘not to worry’.  It’s kind of sad what levels of sucking up people will do just to stay around what they consider a star. 

Baldwin is also trying to find out who the mystery source is that disclose the recording to TMZ and has filed papers in the LA County Superior Court in order to do so. 

Ireland’s mother Kim Basinger has also responded to Alec’s 1st response through her lawyer: (custody battles are complicated - anyone whose watched an episode of Jerry Springer knows this)

“There is much I can say and have said in the past regarding Mr. Baldwin’s responsibility for the relationship between him and his daughter Ireland.  I am concerned that Mr. Baldwin’s recent statement, wherein he attempts to shift responsibility to Kim and her lawyers for his issues with Ireland, shows just how out of touch he is with the reality and gravity of the situation.”
