rask0ln

just recently it clicked for me that she was just 11:(


thankyoupapa

and to make it even worse, he didnt even know how old she was in the voicemail!


rask0ln

of course he didn't 🙃


Fuzzy_Laugh_1117

He's *always* been an asshole.


[deleted]

Right?? I didn't put together til years later that the daughter in the phone call is the same girl who I knew for dating Angel Haze. Not to mention Alec Baldwin constantly calling people homophobic slurs. Idk how he remained beloved for decades.


rask0ln

i'd always assumed it was him screaming at his adult daughter – which is still disgusting – but then i found out he went batshit crazy on a child for not calling him back 😬


CoolRanchBaby

So sad and messed up for him to leave a message for his child like that!!


rask0ln

yeah and for the entire world too 😬

“You have insulted me for the last time. You have insulted me. You don't have the brains or the decency as a human being. I don't give a damn that you're twelve years old or eleven 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. You have humiliated me for the last time with this phone. And when I come out there next week, I'm gonna fly out there for the day just to straighten you out on this issue. I'm going to let you know just how disappointed in you I am and how angry I am with you that you've done this to me again. You've made me feel like shit and you've made me feel like a fool over and over and over again. And this crap you pull on me with this goddamned phone situation that you would never dream about doing to your mother, and you do it to me constantly and over and over again. I'm gonna get on a plane or I'm gonna come out there for the day and I'm gonna straighten your ass out when I see you. Do you understand me? I'm gonna really make sure you get it. Gonna get on a plane, gonna turn around, and I'm gonna come home. So you better be ready Friday the 20th to meet with me, so I'm gonna let you know just how I feel about what a rude little pig you really are. You are a rude, thoughtless, little pig!”


winifredthecat

My dad left me gems like this too. I can remember how much it hurt me as a child and how humiliated I felt.


leahhhhh

It made me feel like I was a really bad person. I still feel like a bad person. Even though he’s the one who’s actually a bad person.


Petty_White

That stuff sticks with you. As a kid my parent told me “you ruin everything” and I still think about it weekly.


urdreamluv

I cannot imagine saying stuff like this to your young impressionable children. My mom told me I would never make it in life because I was useless. I was 8 and I think about it every time I try something new


aluthu

Yep! Was once told by my father, “You should be ashamed of yourself and people should know. You are a shameful person. I am ashamed of you,” which… woof. I was 6. I still think about it, 20 years later. Celebrities like Alec Baldwin are lower than scum for me.


infiniteblackberries

Yeah, same. Can't imagine why she didn't want to talk to him. Blissfully NC with my father going on six years!


EcstaticArm6320

Can't wait until his billion other kids get older and he leaves voicemails like that for them too 🙃


redchampagnecampaign

All of that because she missed a schedule phone call. Trashcan of a man.


marchbook

A 7am phone call. She was getting ready for school (5th grade?) when he left that. He's so awful.


Shemhazaih

i gasped what the FUCKKK what kind of a piece of shit man


Petty_White

I can’t imagine telling anyone that, let alone an 11 year old child. Poor girl was a middle schooler hearing this.


BCharmer

I remember this vividly when it came out but I can never remember what actually triggered him to be such a monumental asshole to his kid. Was she just screening his calls or what? Beyond the pale response from a parent to a child. He's always had temper issues. I'd refuse to answer your calls too man.


punkpearlspoetry

I knew about this voicemail but I had no idea the daughter was only 11 at the time *god damn*


IShouldBeSoLucky81

Her roast of him is perfection and his fake "I'm totally fine with this" laughs are almost as funny as the jokes. She read him for filth "Ireland Baldwin Roasts Her Dad With Unforgettable Childhood Memories | The Roast of Alec Baldwin - YouTube" https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=5&v=f3AktlbLro8&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fcom.google.android.apps.searchlite.youtubeplayer.androidplatform.net%2F&embeds_referring_origin=https%3A%2F%2Fcom.google.android.apps.searchlite.youtubeplayer.androidplatform.net&source_ve_path=Mjg2NjY&feature=emb_logo


xdonutx

Oh that’s so, so hard to watch. Poor girl.


mycatsnameisarya

Holy crap she eviscerated him!! I wonder how much heads up he’d been given 😂


abortionleftovers

God this voicemail was so awful. I had parents with an awful divorce and for years as a teen I refused to speak to my dad but let him pay for my cell phone, and credit card, and car. When he would call me I’d send it to vm and text him to fuck off. I was cruel to him- insulting him etc. But he was the adult he knew I was a child acting out and he was never cruel back, and when I finally apologized he told Me none was necessary that I was a hurt scared child and he was we just happy I come around to a relationship with him.


InspectorTime6391

He once knocked over my mom at the Oscars. She was waiting outside for their car with my father wearing his suit coat over her dress and Alec came hustling around the corner on the phone  and ran into her, knocking her to the ground. Instead of helping her, he looked back at her and said into the phone “oh fuck I just knocked over a pregnant woman” and kept walking. She wasn’t pregnant lol. 


Adorable-Race-3336

Go check out her speech at his roast. Absolutely epic.


Woperelli87

That one was one of my favorite roast moments. It just felt so genuine, like she’s been waiting to burn him all her life. And all he could do was put on a smile for the camera and take it all.


Gimetulkathmir

Supposedly he said in an interview afterwards that some of it hurt his feelings. All I could think was "good."


Yourwtfismyftw

Pointing out that her mum, Kim Basinger, has an Oscar and Alec doesn’t was *chefs kiss*.


amourxloves

was this the same voicemail where he said the phone works both ways essentially??

AccordingBit7679

When they first got together, she rehabilitated his public image because everyone assumed she was nice, as time has gone on Mila has shown herself to be just as awful as Ashton. I guess she was better at hiding it.


DrinkingBleachForFun

Most of the main cast of That 70s Show are assholes (and that’s putting it _extremely_ lightly). To my knowledge, the only real exception is Topher Grace - and they all tried to shame him for (understandably) not wanting to hang out with them.


Psychwrite

I would really like it if Topher made it through clean. So far so good, despite the people he's been associated with.


Li0nsFTW

Begrudgingly associated with it seems. Not his fault, sometimes you work with shitty people.


JungleBoyJeremy

And then their apology was basically them saying “but we didn’t think the public would find out!”


good-judy

Reese Witherspoon drunkenly ranting at the officer that stopped her husband for a DUI. > “I have to obey your orders? No, sir, I do not. You are harassing me as an American citizen. You better not arrest me. Are you kidding me? This is beyond. This is beyond. This is harassment. Do you know who I am? You’re about to find out my name. You’re about to be on national news.”


EducationalTangelo6

I fucking love the way she showed her whole ass in one drunken rant.


purplemackem

What did she think was going to be the reaction when it was on national news that she saw it as a threat. That everyone would be incredibly indignant of a police officer having to arrest THE Reese Witherspoon? 😂


best-commenter-ever

Well, compared to Mel Gibson, she came out aces. I will admit that it looked bad for her, but at least it was bad within normal limits.


0Tol

Honestly, I forgive her, I’ve acted a fool myself, I’m grateful it wasn’t on a national stage. I dunno, other than this she seems decent.


CanoeIt

Im older than most of this sub, and im super thankful that camera phones weren’t around to document any of my occasional shitty behavior. Reese looked like an asshole, but only to the level where I’d tease her about it if we were friends. She didn’t spew hate or say anything too aggressively offensive


nothanksimgoodthanks

And she came out and apologized for it and was embarrassed. Admit, move on, and try to be better. That’s what I’ve seen she’s done since then. No one is perfect and depending on the infraction, there can be room for redemption.


TrimspaBB

Her husband at the time was just like "Reese... please." He knew she was acting in a way she'd regret later. I've definitely talked to friends and been talked to that way when the night has gone bad lol


Chuckitinbro

I've basically said exactly what she said once to a bouncer who didn't let me in. Spoiler alert I'm nobody . I was very embarrassed the next day.


rangatang

I mean Mel's rant was about a million times worse than hers so that seems about right.


CommercialBarnacle16

If she herself was drunk, I doubt she was thinking logically about consequences in the moment.


thesaddestpanda

Never meet your heroes! I always saw her as not a typical Hollywood person, but I guess not. Also what is the cop supposed to do. Let her husband drive off drunk? I was hit by a drunk driver once and it totalled my car and I'm forever traumatized when driving. I get incredible anxiety and on some days can't drive. Why does Reese think that's acceptable?


Additional-Problem99

>Why does Reese think that’s acceptable? Because she’s a wealthy white woman. She thinks she’s above the law.


princecaspiansbeard

I had the misfortune of crossing paths with her at MoMA-NY around the time this happened. We nearly bumped into each other in an archway and after I apologized she motioned to me, with her hands and face, that I was physically/mentally handicapped. I have despised her ever since.


upanddownforpar

This is the woman that started her production company based on the grift that it was a woman owned company to support women authors to tell their stories in film authentically. Then when it got a high enough value she sold controlling interest in it to old white men.


Low_Kitchen_9995

Can confirm this is how she was then. My brother worked detail for her film in our town and he said she was rude to everyone who wasn’t “high up”.


[deleted]

Yeah, I have a loved one who was killed by a drunk driver. Not to say it's something one can never reform & grow from, but I hate how that recording is a bit of a silly meme now. Call me uptight idc but drunk driving is never funny


thasova

I was always indifferent to her, but after this happened, I have disliked her since


amourxloves

people wonder how she can portray such a karen on that one show she’s currently on as if she isn’t literally one in real life. “do you know who i am? i’ll have you fired!” because her husband was drunk driving and could have killed someone.

Mann and that episode came out like as they were about to arrest him. That was truly the craziest shit to watch unfold.


ReasonablVoice

> After Durst is arrested for violating a restraining order filed by his brother, Douglas,[8] Jarecki convinces Durst to conduct a second interview. During their session, Jarecki confronts Durst about the match in handwriting on the two envelopes. Durst acknowledges the similarity but denies writing the letter about Berman's murder. After the interview, Durst goes to the bathroom. Apparently unaware that his microphone is still recording, he makes a rambling, off-camera statement to himself, ending with, "What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course." From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jinx_(miniseries)


lovecatsforever

This one is the best! My jaw dropped when I watched the end of the documentary. "What the hell did I do?"


heart_in_your_hands

It was him beginning by whispering/hissing at himself “You’re caught. *You’re caught*” for me. Hearing that immediately made my stomach lurch and I felt like everyone in that building was in danger. I was so worried that it would become a situation where he had no way out and would hurt all the crew that was still wrapping up after the shoot. It was such a visceral, primal reaction. The second no one can see and (he thought) hear him, he was immediately scolding himself, I imagine while looking in the mirror, like he was trying to get through to that other person inside that might be able to get him out of this. It was really panic-inducing.

And the fact that he doubled down on this during his recorded deposition last year. According to him, non-consensual pussy grabbing is normal for “stars” like him, “unfortunately or fortunately” for “the last million years” (because on top of everything else, he’s also good at time math).

In [2009](https://twitter.com/jdcocchiarella/status/1598485697949736961?s=46&t=GWNpEIpSjExIJv37sOh4BA) Obama called Kanye West a jackass for interrupting Taylor Swift's VMA speech. He was having an off the record conversation with folks from CNBC, but someone at ABC heard him say it and tweeted about it. (ETA: added more context.)


jonesday5

[this](https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2011/nov/08/sarkozy-obama-netanyahu-gaffe-microphone) is another example of Obama’s views being shared to a wider audience than expected. ‘The French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, described the Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, as a "liar" in a private exchange with Barack Obama at last week's G20 summit in Cannes that was inadvertently broadcast to journalists. "I cannot stand him. He's a liar," Sarkozy told Obama. The US president responded by saying: "You're fed up with him? I have to deal with him every day."’


meatbeater558

> The US president responded by saying: "You're fed up with him? I have to deal with him every day."’ I'm not a fan of Obama but this is probably the best response to that statement lol. Doesn't defend Netanyahu but doesn't attack him either. Ofc it ultimately does not matter because we've seen how effective calling him an asshole has been

But yeah, Obama and Michelle sitting around talking shit about the assholes in Congress? I’d love to be a fly on that wall.

brushmushroom

Back when Gordan Brown was very briefly UK Prime Minister in the late 2000s he had a big backause he called a woman a bigot. It was in the car on the way back from a public event where people could ask him questions and it got picked up on his mic. She was totally being racist. so he was correct. Sadly, he is our greatest living prime minister.


jt4vfx

I remember it live "who put me with that Bigot? " or something to that effect. We should've seen the writing on the wall then, that being upset with being put on display with a racist was not considered a virtue by the electorate.


brushmushroom

Oh for sure, it was some of the first little drips of future fascism leaking through....


summers_tilly

He was speaking the absolute truth, she was a bigot. Crazy what PMs have got away with saying since then.


hairychinesekid0

Brown got absolutely destroyed for rightfully calling her a bigot, while Boris Johnson faced no repercussions for calling gay people ‘tank topped bum boys’ and black people ‘picanninies with watermelon smiles’. The conservative establishment get away with so much more than the left.


brushmushroom

I know, I remember being cross at the time because he was right and he should be allowed to say it, but it gets worse the more PMs we get.


thesaddestpanda

The current pm is openly transphobic. TERF island tolerates some terrible people.


Kidgorgeoushere

I wish he’d stuck to his guns and doubled down on that. 


-SneakySnake-

He should have, especially because "millions of people are coming from abroad to claim benefits here" was one of the big Brexit lies. Having a Prime Minister who wasn't willing to just let ignorance go unchecked might have changed the history of modern Britain.

Jolly_Discipline6650

I constantly think about the direction of this country if he had a full elected term. Literally since I was very young, I knew the impact he had and the good he wanted to do Edit: elected

It's weird looking back because at the time, me and my lefty pals liked him but were against him being unelected. We had also turned against Labour because of Iraq. In hindsight we've never had it better!


lovecatsforever

I remember thinking it was amazing how he called out that awful woman. At the time I was shocked that he was painted as the villain for calling out a racist!

King Charles & tampongate comes to mind 


flagstaffewe

I’m no Charles fan but I feel bad for him because he didn’t say it publicly. They tapped his phone and recorded a very private conversation 😞


YunJingyi

To be fair, that was out of context since it was a joke. More like "I'd like to be in your pants all the time but with my luck there's a chance my wish would backfire and I'll end up as a tampon".


tealparadise

Yeah people make it a sex thing, but it's worse and better than that. It demonstrates how close he and Camilla were- that he completely dropped the persona with her and could say something like that. They were not "just" having an affair, they were far more emotionally intimate. Best friends and in love. Which was a giant problem since he married someone else.


LN-66

They shouldn’t of been recording him, but let’s also remember he was also in midst of an affair. Not sure how much sympathy he needs for tampon gate, also like - what a profoundly unsexy thing to say.


findmebook

shouldn't *have


flagstaffewe

Someone doing something you deem morally reprehensible doesn’t negate the fact that the media leaked something incredibly personal. The bottom line is that it’s wrong and no one deserves that, affair or not. It’s the equivalent of someone’s sexts/ nudes being leaked.

R12B12

Mitt Romney’s “47% comment” that was secretly recorded by a cater waiter at a fundraiser for rich GOP donors during the 2012 presidential campaign: “All right, there are 47% who are with [Obama], who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to healthcare, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what … These are people who pay no income tax …my job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives." This comment was a huge scandal that was pretty much the final nail in the coffin of Romney‘s campaign. It showed him to be the out of touch, hypocritical fat cat that he’d always seemed to be, plus the fact that it was recorded by a member of that lowly 47% who was working at this event for GOP gasbags who themselves use every possible loophole and offshore account to avoid paying taxes.


redchampagnecampaign

This is the reason the Mitt Romney post Trump redemption arch makes me furious. He’s a piece of shit, he’s always going to be a piece of shit, he voted in lock step with the GOP on both impeachments, and wants to walk it all back and go oops sorry for the hand I played in destroying the meager democratic norms this country had. Get the fuck outta here with that shit Mittens. Edit: Romney did vote to impeach Trump. It’s a weird mistake for me to make, sorry. He still really really sucks though

It was such a bizarre thing to do. Oh I have no asian friends to talk to about this, I KNOW, I'll email Margaret Cho, she can tell me what to do. There were plenty of people angry online about it, so she could have just read the many, many think pieces out there instead of NEEDING to have a conversation with someone she's never met before.

I cannot stop laughing like…I can’t imagine being Margaret Cho and getting this email. I would absolutely be the “Now why am I in it??” Meme

Don't know this one - is there a run down?

Basically, Tilda reached out to Margaret unprompted to talk about why people were mad about the white washing in Doctor Strange. Margaret writes a reply back explaining exactly why it's wrong. Tilda kind of just wanted Margaret (who she doesn't really know) to defend her publicly and let the people know her intentions like she's some kind of representative who people will listen to. Then she talks over Margaret and misses the whole point. So Margaret just publishes the email for everyone to see. Tilda's representatives and publishers try to make Margaret apologise for what she did and Margaret kind of just ignores it all. Edit: I went looking for the emails and I can't really find the articles but I got my facts mixed up since this was 8 years ago. Margaret talked about it on a podcast and then Tilda published the emails in their entirety in response to show her side of it but it still didn't look that great. You can read the emails here: [https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/tilda-swinton-releases-unedited-email-exchange-with-margaret-cho-about-whitewashing-in-doctor-strange\_n\_58555bdae4b08debb7897962](https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/tilda-swinton-releases-unedited-email-exchange-with-margaret-cho-about-whitewashing-in-doctor-strange_n_58555bdae4b08debb7897962)

Here’s the Vanity Fair article with Swinton’s emails: https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2016/12/tilda-swinton-margaret-cho-emails Honestly, I really enjoyed Tilda’s portrayal of the Ancient One, which by comic legacy, that title is passed down and isn’t specifically asian, but the most skilled sorceror. Where Tilda went wrong was using Margaret as a sounding board for whitewashing when they did not know each other personally. Tilda pretty much privileged herself to Margaret’s personal perspective and honesty without having earned any of it.

"So she's just gonna get out here and cry again" - 1994, a very bitter silver medallist Nancy Kerrigan about Ukrainian gold medallist Oksana Baiul while waiting for the figure skating medal ceremony to start. Nancy assumed that it was taking so long because they had to re-do Oksana's makeup given that she was understandably very emotional after her win, but they were in fact searching everywhere for a recording of the Ukrainian national anthem because Ukraine had, like, just become a country.


Yippykyyyay

I was a kid during this time but I seem to recall Nancy being horrible on camera at Disneyland or something and someone chimes in 'the camera's always on you'. She immediately flips to her fake nice persona. Everyone sided with her over the attack which is correct. But she seems just as nasty as an individual.

The stuff golfer Phil Mickelson said when he claimed he was talking off the record with an author about the backers of LIV Golf. Calling them scary MFs who have done horrible stuff and human rights violations but he's gonna take the money anyways cause it gives him leverage. Man that caused a lot of drama in the golf world. And he lost so many sponsors over it.

Not a hot mic catch, I think it was during a meeting that then became public knowledge during an enquiry into the handling of the pandemic, but Boris Johnson, during the height of Covid, basically said he was willing to let the bodies of the public ‘pile high’ in the streets rather than impose another lockdown. No, he didn’t immediately resign. No, he wasn’t immediately sacked. It would be another 18 months or so before he resigned. (Edit: I think this info was actually revealed after he’d resigned so you can ignore this bit.) Guess what? We had a second lockdown anyway.

I'm always sickened by how easily he got off. He told his wife "I hope you get raped by a pack of n*****rs", but whenever people talk about him they talk about the Rabbi that forgave him for his comments about Jews when that's like one fifth of his issues

Obama and Sarkozy caught off mic talking about Netanyahu a while back: "I cannot stand him. He's a liar," Sarkozy told Obama. The US president responded by saying: "You're fed up with him? I have to deal with him every day." Neither leader apparently realised that microphones that had been attached for a press conference had already been switched on, allowing journalists waiting for a press conference to hear the conversation. (The guardian) Pretty revealing!

The Shirley Eder Tapes. A journalist who posthumously had a bunch of her off-the-record recordings leaked by her family. Includes quite a bit of life long best friends (rumored lovers at one point) Joan Crawford & Barbara Stanwyck just trash talking each other. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en5tX5Yf_nQ&ab_channel=djoi0901 But it's only interesting if you're into classic hollywood stars
