First the article says that Baldwin parted ways with CAA and then later says he was fired. Readers are led to believe in the first part that Baldwin initiated the “parting” but when the term “firing” is used it means he had so say in what took place.

No shiite? I hadn’t heard that. No wonder!!! Makes me think the little tyke let loose the voice mail for revenge. I wouldn’t blame her a bit.

As long as he pays his SAG (Screen Actors Guild) dues, he’s a member.

Um....he's referring to F.A.G., not SAG. It's from Team America.

It’s not clear from the article that the agency fired Baldwin. That’s a pretty unlikely scenario. Most agencies are delighted to handle a performer with Baldwin’s acting credentials and name recognition, no matter what kind of a beast he is in his private life. It more often happens that the big-name actor fires his agent. It’s possible that the agency criticized Baldwin or suggested an alternative way of handling things that Baldwin didn’t like and he blew up at them, just as he blew up at the child.

(This interpretation provided by a friend who has a movie production company.)

Actually, I thought his rant was pretty creative

Maybe coming out of the mouth of a 12 year old. For an adult to allow an child to prod him into a state of anger that ferocious shows how immature, unstable and out of control Baldwin really is. The dude needs serious help.....

I wondered if the kid or her friends had something to do with the leak. I remember my father acting this way when I was a kid and how scared I was. I could see the kid trying to ensure her own safety. I’m sure this is not the first time the man has abused her like this and if I were her, I wouldn’t want to talk to him either.

>>I think it’s interesting how many parents think it’s ok to yell at their kids like that, depending on ‘context’ of course.<<

There are FReepers who defend it, believe it or not. And blame the little girl and her mom.

Unreal.

I think we now know who OJ has been looking for. This insane idiotic jerk is clearly a grave danger to anyone near him.

Yes...I noticed that too.

That is why I posted the headline with the added (Fired After Voicemail Tirade)

Typical of the LA Times to try to cover one of their fellow leftists in the headline only to reveal what really happened towards the end of the story.

He made threats against Henry Hyde, urging people to stone him.

He and Rosie should be cell mates.
