Alec Baldwin Goes On Homophobic Twitter Rant, Has Tantrum And Shuts Down Account

Alec Baldwin went on a homophobic Twitter rant, then shut down his account. Surprise, surprise.

Baldwin threatened a reporter who said his wife Tweeted about wedding presents and TV appearances during James Gandolfini's funeral on Thursday.

Twitter rants are a familiar Alec Baldwin move, but this one was particularly annoying.

"If put my foot up your f**king ass, George Stark, but I'm sure you'd dig it too much," one tweet read.

"I'm gonna find you George Stark, you toxic little queen, and I'm gonna f**k you... up," another said.

The string of homophobic insults continued. Baldwin denied his wife was tweeting and called on his followers to "straighten out this f**king little bitch, George Stark".

He said the Tweeting followed the funeral rather than taking place during it. "My wife DID NOT use her phone, in any capacity, at our friends funeral. Now, f**k this twitter + good luck to all of you who know the truth."

Alec Baldwin's Twitter rant began with "Someone wrote that my wife was tweeting at a funeral. That's not true. But I'm gonna tweet at your funeral."

Classy.

A rep for Baldwin concurred that Thomas didn't Tweet during Gandolfini's funeral.

"It's disgraceful that a reporter would manufacture and publish a story and not call for comment or explanation -- especially when it's intended to take away attention from honoring the memory of a beloved figure like James Gandolfini," the rep stated. "There are multiple witnesses to the fact that Hilaria left her phone in the car and wouldn't, couldn't, and didn't tweet during the service."

After his Twitter rant, Baldwin's account was disabled. Thomas, however, tried to clear up the confusion on her own account.

"When someone tweets something at a certain time, and you retweet it later, it posts the TIME the first person tweeted," she explained on her own Twitter account later on Thursday.

One media analyst said Baldwi's endorsement deals will likely not be impacted-unlike Paula Deen's.

"This is the kind of incident that shows the hypocrisy of the liberal media. Paula Deen says something bad decades ago and has her whole career destroyed," he said. "Alec Baldwin fills his career with embarrassing moments - saying awful things to his daughter, getting kicked off an airplane and now, the ultimate PC sin, anti-gay comments. And his career will continue unharmed," Dan Gainor said.
