Alec Baldwin has never been known for his patience and compassion when it comes to the press, and since it’s been awhile since we’ve had a story about him going off on a reporter, here’s Alec allegedly dropping a racial slur on someone who dared ask him questions out in public. Via Page Six …
Baldwin had first been approached by a Post reporter while walking his dogs outside his East 10th Street pad at around 10:50 a.m. He was asked for comment on a lawsuit against his wife, Hilaria, involving her work as a yoga instructor. The 30 Rock star grabbed the reporter, Tara Palmeri, by her arm and told her, “I want you to choke to death,” Palmeri told police, for whom she played an audiotape of the conversation. He then called G.N. Miller — a decorated retired detective with the NYPD’s Organized Crime Control Bureau and a staff photographer for The Post — a “coon, a drug dealer,’’ Miller’s police statement said. At one point, Miller showed Baldwin ID to prove he’s a retired NYPD cop, which Baldwin dismissed as “fake.”
I think the moral of the story is holy crap, stay as far away as possible from Mr. Baldwin. Which really shouldn’t be too hard, because (A) I’m in Toronto, and (B) like I ever leave the house when I’m working. Sometimes I don’t even bother wearing pants. Alec cannot touch me in my ivory, rent-controlled tower!
