An enraged Alec Baldwin unleashed a volcanic tirade of threats and insults on his 11-year-old daughter, Ireland, calling her a "thoughtless little pig," and bashing her mother Kim Basinger -- and TMZ has obtained the whole thing unfiltered and raw. And we've learned, a family law judge was so alarmed after hearing the tape, she has temporarily barred Baldwin from having any contact with his child.
fter Ireland failed to answer her father's scheduled phone call from New York on April 11, Alec went berserk on her voice mail, saying "Once again, I have made an ass of myself trying to get to a phone," adding, "you have insulted me for the last time."
Switching his train of thought, Baldwin then exercised his incredible parenting skills and took a shot at his ex-wife, declaring, "I don't give a damn that you're 12-years-old or 11-years-old, or a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn't care about what you do." The irate Baldwin went on to say, "You've made me feel like s**t" and threatened to "straighten your ass out."
"This crap you pull on me with this goddamn phone situation that you would never dream of doing to your mother," screamed Baldwin, "and you do it to me constantly over and over again."
Before hanging up, Baldwin warned the child, "You better be ready Friday the 20th to meet with me." That's tomorrow.
We've learned that on Wednesday, Los Angeles County Superior Court commissioner Maren Nelson heard the tape and temporarily suspended Baldwin's visitation rights. A hearing is set for May 4, where the judge could permanently deny Baldwin visitation or contact with Ireland.
Calls to Basinger's attorneys, celebrity lawyers Neal Hersh and Judy Bogen, were not returned.
Baldwin's lawyer, Vicki Greene, told TMZ, "Whatever happened yesterday was sealed and confidential. What you're telling me you've got you shouldn't have."
UPDATE: Basinger's publicist, Annette Wolfe, told TMZ: "The voicemail speaks for itself."

Baldwin no more represents ALL "liberal" parents than the bushits and their drunken, cowardly offspring represent ALL conservative parents.

I can't believe that I am going to defend this liberal moron, but until you have walked in the shoes of a divorced dad, you have absolutely no idea what he is going through. When the government simply removes fit dads from their childrens lives just for the sake of forcing child support, (which by the way, the county attorney's office get's a kickback on every case) where joint physical custody is warranted. In most cases, joint physical custody should be the default.
One part of the situation here is no one knows what kind of child she has become. It is very common for kids to become very disrespectful in homes where the mother has sole physical custody. (I am not blasting moms, that is just the statistics).
Balwin in this case really should be applauded for trying to stay in his daughters life. But the courts and likely Kim Basinger are doing all they can to keep him out. It is very common. Much more common than any of you that have not been through the system can ever imagine.

Don't know for sure any details, but this has been a very tough divorce. I understand the mom is not letting the dad have regular visits and has ignored many court orders. That was a scheduled phone call to his daughter, as per the court, and the kid did not answer. I am not defending what he said. He certainly could use some anger management and should pick his words more carefully. What he said was very hurtful, but can imagine his frustration at trying to stay in his daughter's life.

I don't know if they're Liberals of repugs but most of the divorced fathers I have known think visitation means dumping their kids at their girlfriends or grandmothers so a WOMAN has to take care of them anyway !!!!!!! Why not just keep them at home with their mother who may feed them something besides McDonalds...the MALE'S idea of nutrition for children.

FU mingopig. When you have a clue, come back and post here. Otherwise go to XXXX.
You really don't have a clue when it comes to parenting, which you make very clear with your post on this issue.
You and your type are the basic problem with divorce today. You lump less than 2% of the men involved with todays divorce or single parenthood as the norm for all single or divorced dads. Nothing could be further from the truth.
BTW, statistics show, in the rare case when a woman is reduced to visitation and is ordered to pay child support, she is twice as likely to be a deadbeat than her male counter-part.

If it's called common sense, why do so few Demomorons have it?
Are YOU a Bunghole?
