Alec Baldwin unleashes homophobic and violent Twitter tirade at MailOnline reporter

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
PUBLISHED: 07:11 GMT, 28 June 2013 | UPDATED: 10:52 GMT, 28 June 2013

Alec Baldwin has gone on an extraordinary homophobic Twitter rant, threatening a MailOnline reporter over a story published about his wife Hilaria Baldwin.

The 55-year-old actor has since deleted his entire Twitter account.

The shocking outburst came after MailOnline claimed that his 32-year-old yoga instructor wife had broadcast a series of upbeat tweets about shopping for a wedding anniversary present and fruit smoothies during Sopranos star James Gandolfini's funeral on Thursday.

Baldwin, 55, and his wife categorically deny doing any such thing.

Last night, MailOnline announced that it would be seeking urgent clarification from Twitter as to when Mrs Baldwin's tweets were posted after finding them stamped with several different times on mulitple computers and mobile devices even within the same city of New York.

In a series of poisonous tweets, the father-of-one repeatedly threatened reporter George Stark with violence.

He said:

'I'm gonna find you George Stark, you toxic little queen, and I'm gonna f*** you... up.'

'If put my foot up your f*****g a**, George Stark, but I'm sure you'd dig it too much.

'My wife and I attended a funeral to pay our respects to an old friend, and some toxic Brit write this f*****g trash.'

Baldwin then encouraged his army of Twitter followers to weigh in with physical violence.

'I want all of my followers and beyond to straighten out this f*****g little b****.'

'George Stark, you lying little b****. I am gonna f%#@ you up.'

homophobia and verbal abuse are nasty things. However, given that the Mail journalists have been among the biggest dishers-out of both things over the years, my sympathy with them is somewhat limited.

calling the journalist a 'toxic little queen' is just too much for me. Baldwin's tweet along with encouraging violence shows what an arrogant twit he can be at times. No sympathy for either party in this case. (Not that anyone needs my sympathy or thoughts.)

Why do public figures never, never, ever, learn?

Jesus H. Christ with a poisoned pen, my mother told me decades ago, before the intertubes were even thought of, "NEVER put anything in writing that you wouldn't want me to read."

Fucking idiots.

He would have at least been questioned by police over the years for some things he has said...

tweet during the service. Otherwise, why not just tweet, 'this article is a blatant lie' and leave it at that. Freaking out always makes you look like you have something to hide.

I mean really...he's shown time and again that he can't handle his liquor nor can he hold his temper. I hope he gets the help he needs, but it will take a lot of effort on his part...and I think his sense of superiority and entitlement may be too strong.

If a conservative talked of beating up a "queen" they would be vilified.
