Alec Baldwin Alec Baldwin has apologised for a twitter rant where he called a reporter a "toxic little queen," threatening to hunt him down and mess him up, and suggesting he would enjoy a foot up his backside. "My ill-advised attack on George Stark of the Daily Mail had absolutely nothing to do with issues of anyone's sexual orientation,” the actor says in an apology to GLAAD. It came after Stark wrote an article accusing Baldwin's wife Hilaria tweeting during James Gandolfini's funeral. “My anger was directed at Mr. Stark for blatantly lying and disseminating libellous information about my wife and her conduct at our friend's funeral service. As someone who fights against homophobia, I apologise." Baldwin noted his work over the years for marriage equality and said he wouldn't advocate violence against people for being gay. GLAAD has responded: "Alec Baldwin is making it clear that the intent behind his tweets does not excuse his language, especially at a time when there were 11 incidents of violence against gay men in New York City just last month. As we all work to end such senseless acts of violence, allies like Baldwin are right to use these moments to reinforce support for the community and LGBT equality."
