Alec Baldwin’s notorious voicemail to his daughter, Ireland Baldwin, where he called her a ‘rude, thoughtless little pig’ has reemerged on social media. This comes shortly after she appeared to ignore him on Father’s Day.
The offensive voicemail, which first surfaced in April 2007 during Baldwin’s divorce proceedings with his ex-wife Kim Basinger, involves Baldwin angrily scolding his oldest child, who was only 11 at the time, for missing a planned phone call with him.
‘I’m leaving this message for you to inform you that you’ve insulted me for the last time,’ Baldwin stated to his daughter back then. ‘You lack the intelligence or the decency expected from 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 ass who doesn’t care about what you do, as far as I’m concerned.’
Baldwin went on to tell Ireland that she had left him feeling ‘humiliated’ and ‘like s***’ by not keeping her phone on when she knew he would be calling her.
The uncomfortable audio was circulating on Instagram after Ireland raised eyebrows by excluding her famed father from a Father’s Day post on Sunday, in which she did send her well wishes to partner RAC and his father Arménio Anjos.
Alec Baldwin’s (seen last week in New York) infamous voicemail to Ireland Baldwin where he branded her a ‘rude, thoughtless little pig’ has resurfaced on social media, just days after she publicly snub him on Father’s Day

With the rage synonymous with his roles in films like Glengarry Glen Ross or The Departed, Alec vowed he was going to travel to visit his daughter in an effort to iron out their issues.
‘I’m gonna fly out there for the day, just to straighten your a** out,’ Alec said. ‘I’m going to really make sure you get it … I’ll let you know how I really feel about what a thoughtless little pig you are. You are a rude little pig, okay?’
Many reactions on a social media account run by @jaydee_milo were pointed against Alec for his rant aimed at his child.
‘If my daughters father left a message for her like this when she was 11… I would be in prison,’ one user said. Another joked, ‘Damn, I wouldn’t answer the phone either.’
One user asked, ‘How do you have this much beef with an 11 year old?’
Another said: ‘And this narcissistic example is exactly the reason why I don’t allow my 6 year old daughter to have contact with her narcissist father.
Other users claimed the call was clear sign that the Hollywood star was a narcissist.
One user joked their ‘favorite part is when he can’t remember how old she is’ in referring to Alec’s flub.
Ireland and her famed father have publicly addressed the tape numerous times in the 18 years since it surfaced
They even made a joke about the incident in a July 2015 social media post

Other users were more direct in their assessment of Alec and what he said in 2007
At the time the audio was released in April of 2007, Alec put out a statement on his website explaining the hostile tone of the call as a byproduct of years of being alienated from his daughter.
‘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,’ he said. ‘You have to go through this to understand. (Although I hope you never do.) I am sorry for what happened.’
Alec said that he had ‘endured a great deal over the last several years in [his] custody litigation’ with Basinger, who he shared the silver screen with in 1991’s The Marrying Man.
He added, ‘Everyone who knows me privately knows that certain people will go to any lengths to embarrass me and to disrupt my relationship with my daughter.’
Alec in 2008 delved deeper into the sensitive topic, in publishing a book titled A Promise to Ourselves: A Journey Through Fatherhood and Divorce.
Alec and his wife Hilaria, 41, are parents to seven young children: daughters Carmen, 11, Maria, four, and Ilaria, two; and sons Rafael, nine, Leonardo, eight, Romeo, six, and Eduardo ‘Edu’ Pao Lucas, four.
The father-of-right landed in hot water in May of 2023 after calling his young children ‘seven reasons to carry on during some tough times,’
Alec later abridged his statement to include Ireland, saying, ‘We forgot Billy Preston! This one, the first one, is about to make me a grandfather. Oy.’
Baldwin said that parental alienation syndrome spurred on the call in an April 2007 appearance on the late Larry King’s show
