He’s had a decades-long anger-management problem t🐻hat’s seen him epically rage against flight attendants, low-level staff, police, even his own minor child.
He’s infamous 🤡for a long string of homophobic ra𝓡nts he comically claimed weren’t anti-gay.
He took the life of a rising taꦕlent and mother of a young son — but callously refuses to take responsibi🥀lity.&n꧙bsp;
Tell me: Why hasn’t Alec Baldwin been canceled yet?
Media have been chronicling the New York actor’s bad behavior since tꦗhe 1990s, when he punched his very first photographer — he’s made a habit of getting physical with the press.
And last week a new analysis of the gun with which he killed cinematographer Halynꦍa Hutchins on the New Mexico set of “Rust” in 2021 confirmed what investigators — and the rest of us — have known all along: Baldwin pulled the trigger, giving th🐲e lie to his pathetic repeated denials.
Yet there he was days later, a big smile on his face, at Robert De Niro’s “star-studded 80th birthday party,” as , welcomed among such idols as, besides the birthday boy, Martin Scorsese, George Lucas and Paul McCartney. (Admittedly, so was dis𓆏graced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo.)
Smarmy
It’s not just Big Apple hot spots — his smarmy voic𓄧e makes its way into millions of homes every week.
I’m one of many loyal ꦚlisteners of the New York Philharmonic’s syndicated radio broadcast.
Baldwin hosts, making him the voice of one of New York City’s most venerable cultural institutions. (Which is about to get new notice wit🌠h Bradley Cooper’s Leonard Bernstein biopic dropping soon; it’s already in the news for its own controversy.)
Yes, America’s oldest symphony orchestra, which has seen the likes of legendary leaders including Dvorak and Mahler, continues to choose as its public face a man who angrily chased after a photographer — after saying, “You kno❀w what’s going to happen to you, don’t you?” — calling him a “c—k s—king f—g.”
And that was Baldwin on a good day — his stalker had just been sentenced to seven months in prison.
He claimed he didn’t know the first word of the phrase “is an anti-gay epithetꦫ,” saying he’d “retire it from my vocabulary” and “you learn something new every day.”
That’s after saying when TMZ released the video🐻 of the tirade, “I would never say something to offend my friends in the gay c🅺ommunity.”
Uncouth
I’d say that🎀 201🍎3 incident did lose the politically minded actor his MSNBC series, “Up Late with Alec Baldwin.”
But the show had terrible ratings, so his uncouth language, to put it mildly, was likely just a welcome excuse. (Baldwi꧃n blamed “the fundamentalist wing of gay advocacy꧃.”)
He’s had no trouble getting other work, though, despite more anger-fueled incidents than I can possibly list in a sin♔gle piece.
He called a gay re൲porter who wrote a piece he didn’t like a “lying little bitch” and “toxic little queen.”
“I am gonna f—k you up,” he tweeted. “I🐻 want all of my followers and beyond to straighten out this f—king little bitch.”
It’s not just th🌸e press that’s subject to his insane ire.
He went ballistic in 2011 when a flight attendant told him to put away the electronic device on which he was playing Words with Friends — he had to be taken off the plane.
But he had a good time joking about it on “Sa🦂turday Night Live.”
He got belligerent with the NYPD in 2014 when stopped for riding his bike the wro𒊎ng way down the street, arguing and refusing to show ID.
And of course, he left his daughter Ireland whe𝓀n she w💦as 11.
“You are a rude, thoughtless, little pig, OK?” he said. “I don’t give a damn that you’re 12 years old, or 11 years old, or that you’re a child,” he added. “You have humiliated me for the last time with this phone.”&n𝔉𝔍bsp;
Do-nothing charity
He can’t even manage to do charity wo🔥💃rk without courting controversy.
Alec and his sister Elizabeth Baldwin-Keuchler are roaring against Gov. Kathy Hochul’s decision to have someone else collect recycling at ꦦNew York’s state fair this꧙ year — keeping the꧒ family’s Carol M. Baldwin Fund from raking in $50,000.
What would it do with the money?
The charity didn’t give out a single dollar in grants in 2021, the last year for which its IRS records are available, de🍎spite collecting nearly $450,000.
Almost a quarter of the money went to﷽ Elizabeth’s salary, tho☂ugh.
But most incredible, Alec’s signed on to multiple projects since killing a cinematographer on set🔜 — for which he could still face charges, especially given the new forensic analysis.
I suppose the New York, Hollywood and po🐓litical elite would miss his Emmy-winning portrayal of Donald Trump on “SNL” if Baldwin finally faced the music.
Everyone loves his impersonation, Baldwin says!
“Ever 🌊since I played Trump, black people love me. They love me. Everywhere I go, black people go crazy. I think it’s because they’r🐈e most afraid of Trump.”
Who else could say such ꦯa thing and not get canceled?
