Alec Baldwin’s daughter jokes about infamous voicemail at event honouring father
Ireland Baldwin said she and her father are in a much better place now.
Alec Baldwin’s daughter has said the backlash after the infamous voicemail in which the actor called her a “rude, thoughtless little pig” almost “killed him emotionally”.
The US star faced criticism in 2007 when the message to his then 11-year-old daughter was leaked online.
Baldwin, 59, was heard criticising Ireland, his daughter with ex-wife Kim Basinger, for missing a scheduled phone call from him.
Now 21, Ireland brought up the controversy as her father was honoured at a theatre in New York as part of Spike TV’s One Night Only series.
“Speaking of pigs. Some of you may remember me as that thoughtless little pig you read about.
“That was a decade ago, and my dad and I are in a much better place now.
“He would never say something like that. Because I’m 6’2″ and I would keep kick his ass.”
“I wouldn’t see my dad that upset ever again … until I showed him my first tattoo.
“Okay, my second tattoo. I couldn’t show him where I got the first one.”
Ireland wrapped up by saying she was proud to be the actor’s daughter.
Baldwin now has three more children with new wife Hilaria.
