Alec Baldwin Denies Throwing Racial Slurs at Paparazzi: Do You Believe Him?

Alec Baldwin just can’t seem to stay out of trouble. Now he’s being accused of calling a paparazzo by a racial slur over the weekend. The story goes that Baldwin was approached outside of his New York City apartment by a New York Post reporter and photographer who wanted his thoughts on the lawsuit reportedly pending against his wife Hilaria Thomas. Baldwin allegedly grabbed the reporter, Tara Palmeri, and said, "I want you to choke to death." He then supposedly called the African-American photog a “crackhead” and “coon, a drug dealer.”



The photographer, G.N Miller, has filed a suit against Baldwin, who has countersued. The actor tweeted about the incident saying, “My publicist has just informed me that the ‘photographer’ from the Post is claiming I called him a racial epithet, prior to calling the cops. That's kind of magical thinking, isn't it? The Post accusing me of racism?" Palmeri allegedly has an audio recording of the entire incident. It wouldn’t be the first time a tape has come back to haunt Baldwin. What do you think: Do you believe Alec didn’t make the racial slurs?

    I believe these bastards need to get a life, whats really needed here is an independantly hired person to haunt these bloodsuckers day and night. then perhaps they'll know what it feels like to be hunted.

    He's Hollywood. Hollywood is supposedly anti-racist, so I see no reason to believe the rumors.
    And when did "crackhead" become a racial slur? Strange.

    Didn't he yell and swear at his teen daughter in public, was it some years back and it made news? I keep thinking of that incident which is why I was going to choose no about this one.

    You have to remember, that many of these paparazis are out to make money off thecelebreties, anyway they can. While is true that thi sparticular celebrety ( personally I don't care for him ), has been in trouble before, I doubt he would knowingly do something stupid that will cost him money.

    It figures in, right?
    Do you remember a few years back when he was caught talking terrible to one of his daughters, calling her names and yelling at her? This made news.
    I believe he was doing this over his cell phone, not in person. Did he deny that?

    You hit it rigth on the nail, that's the reason I never cared for him. He's only done one movie I like, " The shadow ", after that everything sucks.

    That's me. I won't see any of his movies and if I find out he is in one I will skip channels to find something else. Just to see his face makes me mad and same with his lookalike brothers! YUCK!
    He also does a credit card commercial I believe it is. DULL!

    The father John, YES, he was as desphotic as they come, as for the sons, only David, the other 2 seem to be decent.

    I heard about it, it was weird indeed, but it didn't sorprised me one bit.
    You see, David had a lot of enemies in the business in real life, due a lot because of his desphotic ways of treating people. he was a good actor, I'll give him that,and he was a trained ballet dancer before he started getting into martial arts, which was a piece of cake for him. He was a good martial artist.
    The thing is, he always had this chip on his shoulder.
    For example, he put many stuntmen in the hospital. When you do figth scenes, is 90% choreography, 5% getting in the rigth camera angle and 5% good acting. Most of the time, no one's suppose to come close to touching anyone, now, when they pick up people and throw them, that's for real, but then, they know how they are gonna land, in other words, the figth's been staged. But david wasn't happy unless he really kicked or punched the stunt guys for real. When he was doing " Lone wolf McQuade" , with my buddy Chuck Norris, and Norris saw this, he returned the favor in the figths he had with him.
    He also stole a movie script written by Bruce Lee, " Death race 2000", notice that the credits read : SCREENPLAY , but it never mentions who wroted it. He was lucky Lee had already passed away when he did this.
    Plus, David was the kinda guy if you wer...

    Plus, David was the kinda guy if you weren't anybody, he treated you like dirt, he did have respect for stunt people, unless he was figthing them.
    It sure puzzles my mind how he was good friends with my buddy Lee Majors, then again, Lee is like Dean Martin was, everybody loves him.
    Add to all of this, he was always messing around with the wrong women, that's probably what happenned when he was found naked, hunged partially by his testicles in his room's closet in Thailand. I never did any work in anything with him, but I knew almost every one that worked with him, most of them regreted ever meeting him.

    I didn't know this information that he had enemies in the acting biz.
    Ballet????? =D
    I'm sure he never wanted that to be known by the majority of people! I did see Lone Wolf Mcquade a few times myself.
    Chuck is some hunk and I always thought that!!!!!!
    You said work? You're in acting too?
  • JessDeC... jules 2013/02/23 22:09:09

    In 1995 I retired from 20 years in the stunt business. Did some acting, but mostly stunts. Worked in 3 movies with Chuck alone. If you ever get a chance, check out my photo area, many of them are related to that part of my life.
    Returning to David, he was also the kinda guy who could have cared less what people knew of him.

    I am amazed! 20 years? How about Jackie Chan, did you ever get to meet him? I've heard for years he does his own stunts and broke some bones doing it too!
    What a stuck up guy, that David Carradine! I used to watch his series Kung Fu when I was a teen and it seemed like he was a kind and cool guy! wow, never know!
  • JessDeC... jules 2013/02/24 04:01:07

    I did have the pleasure and honor of metting Jackie, when he 1st came to the U.S.A. , he worked in "Cannonball run " ( the 1st one ), he's an absolute gentleman, what you see on movies, it's him. Yes, he always does his own stunts, he strated out as a chinese circus acrobat, then move as a stuntman in the chinese movies, knew Bruce Lee. Personaly, with all dued respect to Lee, I believe there are 2 martial artist rigth now, that not only are faster than he ever was, but much better, Jackie's one and Jet Li's the 2nd. and a possible 3rd artist would be Jay Chou, who did " The Green Hornet"

    David did do a movie named " Cannball " bit it was a different one, his brother Robert was in it.
    By the way, David couldn't even get along with his own brothers.

    I'm not surprised. Yes, I remember he was in one of the sequels? I don't remember seeing Robert in it.
    that's probably cos it looked like the movie had a "cast of thousands!" =}
    I remember the brother Robert being a nerd in those "Nerd" movies. He played the perfect part.
