I guess casual mockery is one way to deal with angry, widely-known insults from your parents. Last night Spike TV’s latest One Night Only special was filmed at the Apollo Theater, where A-list celebrities delighted in roasting Alec Baldwin. However, it’s the Baldwin family that’s been making headlines. During the recording of the special, the actor and Trump impersonator’s eldest daughter took the mic to joke about the time her father called her a “rude, thoughtless, little pig” via voicemail.
If you don’t remember this particular celebrity scandal, here’s the breakdown: In 2007 TMZ obtained and published audio of a phone call Baldwin made to his daughter, who was 11 at the time. The father and actor was seemingly furious that Ireland didn’t answer his scheduled morning phone call. At one point in the shocking call, Baldwin said, “I don’t give a damn that you’re 12-years-old or 11-years-old, or a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn’t care about what you do.”
Fast forward to 10 years later, Ireland Baldwin started her set by referencing the scandal:
“I’m here to roast this big old ham I call my father. Speaking of pigs. Some of you may remember me as that thoughtless little pig you read about,” she said according to People.
She also referenced the part of the call when Baldwin threatened to “straighten [her] ass out.” “He would never say something like that because I’m 6’2″ and I would kick his ass,” she said. Ireland Baldwin ended her set by talking about how much she loves and adores her father. Infuriated voice mail scandals from a decade ago kind of sour that particular sentiment.
One Night Only: Alec Baldwin will premiere on Spike TV July 9 at 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT.
