Instead of handling a delicate matter privately, Alec Baldwin was adamant about letting everybody in the world know why he recently called his daughter a "pig," in a poor attempt to justify himself and gain sympathy for his demeaning words.

Alec made a special guest appearance on Friday's episode of "The View" to set the record straight about why he said he would set his daughter's "a** straight."

The actor sat down with the ladies to tell his side of the story about the angry voicemail message he recently left the 11-year-old that caused an uproar in the country.

Of his nasty comments to the pre-teen, which included calling her a "rude, thoughtless little pig," Alec said he learned that he took out his frustrations on the wrong person and he realized how many people live with "shameful secrets and make it their career to humiliate you."

When Barbara Walters asked him if he has since spoken to his daughter, Alec mentioned that it isn't something he is allowed to discuss.

However, the actor did want to make it perfectly clear that all his friends and family "know what has been done to me" and that he's been a victim of "parental alienation."

The interview came to an end by Alec apologizing for "how everything played out."

Alec Baldwin is an idiot. He is constantly trying to shift the blame of HIS verbal and emotional abuse of his child onto Kim Basinger. As someone who has been through a similar situation.I'm sure the court has banned both Kim and Alec from bashing each other. I hear some people bashing Kim for supposedly "brainwashing" Ireland and talking bad about Alec and it annoys me to no end. Alec is bashing Kim daily in the press (which his daughter will see) and I would imagine that is in violation of court order. Alec isn't taking responsibility for his behavior.he's trying to make excuses for it. He needs to love his daughter more than he hates Kim.

Alec Baldwin is a time bomb! Whatever happens, he will have his EX-WIFE to blame for it. I wouldn't answer his calls either.
