The star, who has been making headlines after leaving an abusive telephone message for his daughter, Ireland, says that he can’t understand how a complete stranger can intrude on someone else’s private life.
In an interview on television’s The View, the actor said, "The guy that’s responsible for this tape coming out – I called some friends of mine in LA and said, ‘What’s his story?’ And they told me his story, what he’s all about, where he’s coming from, what are his secrets. I couldn’t get over how they could beat you all day long."
Alec Baldwin, 49, left a verbally abusive message on his 11 year-old daughter’s cell phone. During the call, Baldwin called his daughter a "selfish little pig". Baldwin and his ex-wife, Kim Basinger, have had battled over custody and visitation rights for Ireland for years.
