Ireland Baldwin has denied defending her father Alec Baldwin's homophobic outburst, Us Weekly reported Monday.
Ireland took to Instagram to blast the suggestion that she had excused her father's latest outbursts. Last week, he hurled a homophobic slur to a photogragher. Over the weekend, Ireland took to Twitter anddenied that her father was homophobic or racist. The New York Daily News ran a front page cover story on Monday about "the little pig" coming to the rescue. It was in reference to Alec's 2007 voicemail in which he called his now 18-year-old daughter a "thoughtless little pig".
Ireland responded to the newspaper on Monday.
"I've dealt with a lot this past week. This has been a particularly rough week for many reasons. When I saw this earlier today, I didn't really give two shits about it. I thought the little pigs children's fable reference was a clever touch. When I revisited this article, I saw it for what it really is. Everyone tells me to stop paying attention to what others are saying, but it's hard. This hurts. I am a human being, believe it or not. I am also not a celebrity. This is not what I would ever want to be known for. I am so tempted to delete my twitter and all other social media outlets, but I won't because the small following of loyal friends I have, has been one of the greatest support systems that I could ever ask for. Thousands of strangers that feel as though I've known all of them my entire life. I did not STAND UP for my father. It is never right to treat people the way that he has. I simply wanted to show my support for my family. No matter what, my dad is my dad and he is the only one I will ever have. He may have made some wrong choices, but that doesn't mean I'm leaving his side. The past is past and the Daily News are a bunch of cowards for revisiting my past. In the end, I feel nothing but sorry for them. If any of the reporters there even had children or families to love, I'm sure they would understand where I'm coming from. Out of all of the BREAKING news going on in our country or let alone around the world, they were desperate enough to put me on the cover? ME. Not Batkid? Nothing positive? Just an article about silly old me? This definitely shows how trouble and pathetic the media can be. Well, that's the last I'm saying on this entire situation. Like everything else in this life, this too shall pass. The Daily News could said that I have "a heavy flow and a wide set vagina" (mean girls reference) on their front page, and that couldn't bring me down either. Thank you to everyone who have all been so supportive through all of this and please pray that my puppy heals after having been attacked this past week!
