Alec Baldwin has taken to Twitter once again to launch a slew of verbal attacks, this time towards a Daily Mail writer. Baldwin was angry after reading a story the Daily Mail published saying that his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, was tweeting during James Gandolfini's funeral.
"The pregnant yoga instructor's social media feed was full of upbeat posts while 'The Sopranos' star's friends, family and co-stars were gripped with grief at a New York Catholic church," journalist George Stark wrote. "Messages included a request for ideas about wedding anniversary presents and promotional notes about her upcoming appearance on the Rachel Ray show."
The actor reportedly sent a slew of "homophobic" and violent tweets to the Stark.
"I'm gonna find you, George Stark, you toxic little queen, and i'm gonna f-k... you... up."
"My wife and I attended a funeral to pay our respects to an old friend, and some toxic Brit writes this f-king trash."
"I want all my followers and beyond to straighten out this f-king little [expletive], George Stark."
Baldwin has since deleted his Twitter account with his final post saying that his wife didn't use her phone at all during the funeral. Both Baldwin and his wife deny that she was tweeting during the funeral with Hilaria sending a few tweets of her own about the situation. According to the Daily Mail, Hilaria retweeted a story about herself during the funeral and also posted about shopping for wedding anniversary gifts and fruit smoothies.
The Twitter outburst might have backfired for the "30 Rock" actor. Many of his fans were not happy that he verbally attacked Stark with one Twitter user even tweeting to Capitol One, where Baldwin is also in their commercials, and told them they need to fire the actor.
"@CapitalOne You must fire Alec Baldwin. He is a disgusting person who constantly slurs huge groups of people & reflects terribly on ur company," the user posted.
Reportedly, Baldwin's publicist told the Daily Mail that the couple stayed at the ceremony for "an extended period of time" but left early because his wife, who is seven months pregnant, wasn't feeling well. The publicist said that Hiliaria did not break her phone into the funeral at all and left it in the car.
Baldwin has been known to have outburst before. In 2007, he called his daughter Ireland, who was 11 at the time, a "rude, thoughtless little pig" in a recorded phone message. He later apologized. In December 2011, he was thrown off an American Airlines flight when he wouldn't turn off his phone when the flight attendant asked him to. He was playing Words With Friends and blasted the airline and the flight crew later on Twitter.
