10 eyebrow-raising quotes from Alec Baldwin’s goodbye rant
Updated 5.08pm
ALEC BALDWIN IS saying goodbye to public life and he wants the world to know all about it.
And when we say all about it, we mean ALL about it.
The actor penned an extremely long and detailed farewell essay titled ‘I Give Up’ for New York Magazine, and didn’t exactly hold back when revealing why he was giving up on public life.
2013 wasn’t exactly the best year for the actor in fairness: Himself and the missus, Hilaria, came under fire after she allegedly live-tweeted James Gandolfini’s funeral in June and his MSNBC talk show was dropped after he allegedly made homophobic remarks to a photographer in November.
Here are just 10 of Baldwin’s eyebrow raising statements from the epic essay, which you can read in full right here courtesy of Vulture.
1. Baldwin is actually a good person who wants to learn about hate speech, not spread it, even if he doesn’t exactly come across that way.

2. He didn’t realise how much of an impact certain words could have.
3. There’s a bit of a conspiracy to bring him down.

4. He’d never EVER use that f-word around a TMZ employee like Harvey Levin – with good reason – and can’t believe anyone thinks he would either.

5. His cancelled MSNBC show was doomed from the off.
6. Especially because he didn’t interview Rob Lowe.

7. Let’s not forget the devil incarnate that is ‘the meeeeja’.

8. Oh, and Shia LaBeouf. He’s bad news too.

9. His goodbye to public life isn’t quite one of La Beouf proportions though.
10. And he’s sorry if you were offended by that thing he’s not sorry about.

We’re still not quite sure what to make of it all.
