Alec Baldwin’s Daughter aka “The Thoughtless Pig” Speaks Out!

Remember the “thoughtless little pig” from Alec Baldwin’s hilariously disturbing leaked voice mail? Well, that thoughtless little piggy he was referring to was his daughter Ireland Baldwin who was only 11 at the time. Baldwin left that now famous voicemail 6 years ago in 2007, and now his daughter is 17-years-old and is starting her own career. She just recently signed a modeling contract with IMG and is well on her way to becoming a successful model.

So, why are we talking about this girl? Good question, invisible reader! We’re talking about her because she wrote a very long and very personal post on her Tumblr page. In the post she talks about facing criticism in her modeling career and she talks about that famous voicemail left by her father, Alec Baldwin.  In a post that was nearly 900 words she wrote,

“Just like most of you, my Dad has made some mistakes in the past. He has spoken out of place, he has let his temper get the best of him, and he has reacted towards things in ways he shouldn’t have. I get hateful replies and threats regarding mistakes of my Dad’s past. This isn’t fair. I had nothing to do with anything that happened back then, so I don’t fully understand why I am being targeted.”

She goes on to talk about how much her dad has changed since then…

 “More importantly, my Dad has moved on. He recognized that he needed to change, so he made changes. He is now healthy, happily married with a baby on the way. He moved on, so why can’t you? I have entered the social media world and the entertainment business to make a name for myself…I am proud to be my parent’s daughter, but I don’t want to be forever known as that “rude thoughtless little pig” or “Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger’s kid.”

Sadly, until she does something really noteworthy, she is just going to known as the daughter of Alec Baldwin. She’s only 17-years-old, what does she expect? No one knows anything about her, heck, I didn’t even know her name was Ireland until I started to write this story. She’s going to have to be very successful in her career and then she will be known as just Ireland. However, she will forever have to share her name with the island. There isn’t much she can do about that, except blame her parents for trying to be cute.

Parents really need to think before naming their kids. Your kid has to live with it for the rest of their life! That poor kid of Gwyneth Paltrow has to go around with a name like, ‘Apple.” That should be considered child abuse. She’s going to hear, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” for the rest of her life.

Just in case you forgot just how crazy that rant was – here it is again for  your pleasure.
