Alec Baldwin was suicidal following voice mail leak
Perhaps you shouldn’t write off Alec Baldwin as a heartless monster.
Though Baldwin said he didn’t blame his problems on TMZ.com, which released the recording, he had nothing but un-nice things to say about the site’s head honcho, Harvey Levin.
“Everybody knows Levin is a human tumor, a graceless character who lives in that weird netherworld,” Baldwin said.

The actor was so devastated after the now-infamous voice mail message of him berating his daughter, Ireland, leaked on the Internet in 2007, he contemplated taking his own life.
“[I was] very serious ... I spoke to a lot of professionals, who helped me,” Baldwin says in the July issue of Playboy, on newsstands Friday. “If I committed suicide, [ex-wife Kim Basinger’s side] would have considered that a victory. Destroying me was their avowed goal.”
