After that infamous voicemail heard around the world on TMZ.com, in which he called his daughter, Ireland, a little pig, Alec Baldwin seriously considered ending his life and details those thoughts in his memoir entitled A Promise To Ourselves.

What stopped him was: “I love my daughter with all my heart,” In his book he explains:

that he had been trying to reach his daughter, but “she was off for spring break with her mother and her phone was turned off for 10 consecutive days … This had gone on for years now and … when the beep came, I snapped.”

At the time of the incident he apologized for the remarks and blamed Basinger for leaking the tape, which she denied.

Did you hear the phone call at the time and has it changed your opinion of Alec Baldwin.??
