Alec Baldwin Unveils Heartbreaking News About His Daughter Ireland

Alec Baldwin has opened up about heartbreaking details regarding his personal life. The 30 Rock star joined Good Morning America to give a candid interview about the current state of his relationship with his daughter Ireland.

Back in 2007, the 59-year-old actor famously left his daughter a scathing voicemail message in which he called her a “rude, thoughtless, little pig.” To this day, he is still haunted by that moment of anger that caused a “permanent” break in their relationship.

Alec still has Ireland in his life, but the impact of that voicemail had a lasting effect on his daughter.

“It’s thrown in your face every day,” he said. “There are people who admonish me or attack me and use that as a constant spearhead to do that.”

He continued by saying: “It’s a scab that never heals cause it’s being picked at all the time by other people. My daughter, that’s hurt her in a permanent way.”

Alec Baldwin left the voicemail rant back in April of 2007. His daughter was only 11 years old at the time when she failed to answer the phone when she was supposed to be expecting his call from New York.

In the voicemail, Baldwin told her: “You don’t have the brains or the decency as a human being. I don’t give a damn that you’re 12 years old, or 11 years old, or that you’re a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the a** who doesn’t care about what you do as far as I’m concerned. Once again I have made an a** of myself trying to get to a phone. You have humiliated me for the last time with this phone.”

The voicemail message surfaced when Baldwin was going through a custody battle between him and his ex-wife Kim Basinger, according to Daily Mail.

Even though Ireland seems to be doing fine and has a relationship with her father, she still admits that she is going through struggles with her body image. On Saturday, she took to Instagram to share a revealing selfie in which she spoke out about what she perceives as her body imperfections.

She shared the post with a caption that read:

“So this is somewhat of a personal post…I feel like I should always be honest on here. Everyone that knows me knows I don’t pretend to be anybody on here. I’m sure a lot of you out there can relate to how I feel so I think I can be honest. Sometimes I get caught up in the opinions of others and I get really down on myself. I am pale white. I hardly tan. I have cellulite. I’m not petite. I’m around 6 ft. I drop weight rather quickly but gain it by eating one bagel. I’m a 36 D cup and I have a booty. I’ve got inner thigh fat. And outer thigh. And just straight up thigh fat.

I’ve gone from a size 00 to a size 6 to a size whatever to not knowing not eating to eating boxes of pizza to starving myself to being gym obsessed to eating myw ay out of a sprinkles cupcakes bakery to now. I’m happy. I’m mentally ready to work hard. It’s not even necessarily a matter of working out and eating clean, it’s also how I’ve thought recently. I’ve been cloudy, unfocused and losing energy. I need to reset my mind and body.

I now take this harsh world with a grain of salt and accept myself for who I am. Sure I could work a little bit harder. We all can. Or maybe you need to learn to love yourself before you can do anything. I’m taking the next month to do a full mind, body and health reset cleanse. It’s not juicing, it’s not starvation, and it’s not about obsessing over each and every inch of my body. I’m happy to post my tips and tricks along my journey to reaching my healthiest self. I’m no fitness and health expert. Lord knows I love deep fried pizza and I shout super size me from the mountaintops, but I do know what I’ve done in the past to reach my goals and I want to share them with girls who are in my shoes. It’s time to love your self and take care of our bodies!!!”
