Philippine Senator Threatens To Beat Alec Baldwin Over Joke
May 18, 2009 08:21 AM EST | AP
MANILA, Philippines – Alec Baldwin’s joke about getting a Filipino mail-order bride provoked a sharp response in the Philippines, with one senator saying Monday that the “30 Rock” star faces violence if he ever visits.
Baldwin, 51, who is divorced with a teenage daughter, said in a May 12 interview on “The Late Show” with David Letterman that he would love to have more children.
The Emmy-winning actor quipped that he was “thinking about getting a Filipino mail-order bride at this point … or a Russian one.”
Baldwin has been involved in a bitter dispute with his ex-wife, Oscar-winning actress Kim Basinger, over custody of their 13-year-old daughter, Ireland.
Philippine Sen. Ramon Revilla said Monday that Baldwin’s comment was “insensitive and uncalled for” and an insult to millions of Filipinos.
He called the actor “arrogant” and said he is apparently unaware that the Philippines has a law against mail-order brides.
“Let him try to come here in the Philippines and he’ll see mayhem,” Revilla said, using a local idiom that implies the speaker will personally administer a beating.
The senator is a former action-movie star who occasionally still appears on Philippine TV.
Alex Baldwin is the last person in the world who should be judging people. He has proven himself to be a bad husband and a far worse father to his child.
In the Philippines, we know the definition of “family values.” We, also, know how to respect women.
Mr. Baldwin, as usual, doesn’t have a clue what is is talking about. The Philippines has had a long-standing law against mail-order brides as it is defined as human trafficking.
I find his words to be offensive and cruel. I, like so many other men, love and worship my Philippine wife. I could not find a more decent and caring wife and mother then the wonderful woman who said “I do” years ago.
Mr. Baldwin, with the utmost respect, “GO TO HELL!” You would not know a good woman if she fell out of the sky and landed on your face.
