MSNBC has suspended Alec Baldwin’s “Up Late” program for two weeks, after he made inappropriate comments to reporters including calling one a “f-g.”
The actor made threatening comments to a photographer in New York Thursday morning calling him a “c—sucking f-g,” according to TMZ.
“I did not intend to hurt or offend anyone with my choice of words, but clearly I have – and for that I am deeply sorry,” Baldwin said in a statement posted on MSNBC.com. “Words are important. I understand that, and will choose mine with great care going forward. What I said and did this week, as I was trying to protect my family, was offensive and unacceptable. Behavior like this undermines hard-fought rights that I vigorously support. I understand ‘Up Late’ will be taken off the schedule for tonight and next week.”
“I want to apologize to my loyal fans and to my colleagues at MSNBC – both for my actions and for distracting from their good work. Again, please accept my apology.”
Ya think? This dude’s mouth will continually get him in trouble. His filters are off. How long has his show even been on the air?
This one was very predictable. 2 weeks is nothing. At least Baldwin is pretending to be sorry. He must think he is another Mel Gibson.
