Alec Baldwin’s Voicemail Labeling Daughter a ‘Thoughtless Little Pig’ Resurfaces Amid Public Snub

Alec Baldwin’s Explosive 2007 Voicemail to Daughter Ireland Resurfaces After Father’s Day Snub

Alec Baldwin’s infamous 2007 voicemail to his then-11-year-old daughter Ireland, in which he called her a “rude, thoughtless little pig,” has recirculated on social media. The resurfaced audio emerged days after Ireland, now 28, omitted her father from a Father’s Day tribute, sparking renewed scrutiny of their strained relationship.

The Voicemail Controversy
The voicemail, leaked during Baldwin’s divorce from Kim Basinger, captured the actor berating Ireland for missing a scheduled call. “I’m gonna fly out there for the day to straighten your a** out,” he threatened, adding, “You don’t have the brains or decency as a human being.” Baldwin, now 66, also criticized Basinger, calling her a “thoughtless pain in the ass.” The message highlighted his fury over feeling “humiliated” by his daughter’s actions.

Ireland’s Father’s Day Post Ignites Debate
On June 16, Ireland shared a heartfelt Instagram post praising her partner RAC (André Allen Anjos) and his father but excluded Baldwin. Followers quickly noted the snub, reigniting discussion about their past tensions. The voicemail resurfaced on Instagram shortly after, with users condemning Baldwin’s harsh words. One commenter wrote, “If my daughter’s father left a message like this… I’d be in prison,” while another quipped, “No wonder she didn’t answer the phone.”

Baldwin’s Apologies and Explanations
In 2007, Baldwin blamed “parental alienation” during his custody battle with Basinger for the outburst, stating, “I’ve endured a great deal… certain people will go to any lengths to embarrass me.” He later apologized publicly and addressed the incident in his 2008 book, A Promise to Ourselves, detailing his struggles with divorce and fatherhood. Ireland and Baldwin have since joked about the incident, including a 2015 social media post where she humorously referenced the “little pig” remark.

Current Family Dynamics
Baldwin shares seven children with wife Hilaria, 41, and remains a grandfather to Ireland’s two-year-old daughter, Holland. Despite past tensions, they’ve been spotted together publicly in recent years. Meanwhile, Baldwin continues navigating fallout from the 2021 Rust shooting, for which he was legally cleared in 2023.

Social Media Backlash
Critics labeled Baldwin a “narcissist,” with one user noting, “How do you have this much beef with an 11-year-old?” Others pointed to his inconsistent recollection of Ireland’s age in the voicemail as evidence of detachment.

Looking Ahead
While Baldwin has expressed regret, the resurfaced audio underscores lingering public skepticism about his parenting. As he focuses on his career and large family, Ireland’s quiet rebuke on Father’s Day serves as a reminder of their complicated history.
