Alec & Ireland Baldwin Poke Fun at Infamous ‘Thoughtless Little Pig’ Voicemail

ABC/Lou Rocco(NEW YORK) — Ireland Baldwin can laugh off the fact that her dad, Alec Baldwin, called her a “rude, thoughtless little pig” in an infamous voicemail that leaked eight years ago.

Ireland, 19, on Sunday tweeted a photo of herself and her father, who’s holding a children’s book titled If I Were a Pig….

She joked, “If I were a pig… I would be a rude and thoughtless one of course!”

In 2007, TMZ posted an angry voicemail from the actor in which he referred to his then-11-year-old daughter as a “rude, thoughtless little pig” and said he would “straighten [her] a** out,” after she missed his phone call.

The voicemail was leaked amid a bitter custody dispute between Baldwin and his ex-wife and Ireland’s mother, Kim Basinger.

Ireland downplayed the incident in a 2012 interview with the New York Post’s Page Six, saying, “For me it was like, ‘OK, whatever.’ I called him back I was like, ‘Sorry Dad, I didn’t have my phone.’ That was it.”

Ireland spent time in rehab earlier this year for what she described as “emotional trauma.”
