Yesterday GLAAD accused 30 Rock Actor, Alec Baldwin of 'Degrading Gay People' after video footage emerged which showed him using an F word. The actor insists the word he used was 'Fathead'.
In the video the ‘30 Rock’ actor is heard calling a photographer a ‘c**ksucker’ although a media storm has been created after it was suggested that Baldwin actually called a photographer a ‘C**ksucking F*g head’. Baldwin is insisting that he said ‘Fathead’ and has threatened to sue TMZ for suggesting that he used a homophobic word.
Baldwin said that acoustic analysis of the recording proves the word said was ‘fathead.’
However MSNBC have pulled his new show Up Late With Alec Baldwin for 2 weeks, in a post on MSNBC.com the network shared a personal statement from Baldwin, in which he addresses the comments he made in the week.
'I did not intend to hurt or offend anyone with my choice of words, but clearly I have – and for that I am deeply sorry. Words are important. I understand that, and will choose mine with great care going forward. What I said and did this week, as I was trying to protect my family, was offensive and unacceptable. Behavior like this undermines hard-fought rights that I vigorously support. I understand “Up Late” will be taken off the schedule for tonight and next week.
I want to apologize to my loyal fans and to my colleagues at msnbc – both for my actions and for distracting from their good work. Again, please accept my apology.'
MSNBC has not given any reason to why it has suspended the show - nor has responded to requests for comment.
