(WENN) — Alec Baldwin admitted he had "bullied women" in the past and treated them in a "very sexist way" during an onstage discussion on Thursday.

"I certainly have treated women in a very sexist way. I've bullied women. I've overlooked women. I've underestimated women. Not as a rule," he said, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "From time to time, I've done what a lot of men do, which is... when you don't treat women the same way you treat men. You don't. I'm from a generation where you really don't and I'd like that to change. I really would like that to change."

1. Called his 11-year-old daughter a "pig".

2. Called a photographer on the streets of Manhattan a "c*ck-sucking f*g".

3. Tweeted at a male British journalist calling him a "toxic queen".

4. Called a horse-carriage driver a "fa**ot" for wanting to expand routes.

5. Vandalized the vehicle of a reporter with shaving cream and assaulted him.

6. Called a male Starbucks employee an "uptight queen" on Twitter.

7. Kicked off an American Airlines flight for throwing a tantrum after being told to turn off his technology.

8. Called a female photographer a "nutty bit*h" for taking pics at his girlfriend's yoga class.

9. Physically assaulted another reporter in NYC after picking up marriage license.

10. Admits to "bullying women" and treating them in a "sexist way".

Hero to the liberal elite!

The irony (for me anyway), is that Baldwin is lauded by libs for his portrayal of a crude Trump on SNL, while his real life persona doesnt appear to be much different (maybe worse).
They could probably share a bunch of locker room stories over a beer summit.

That's always been my issue too. I've said as much on here several times.

The best satire in those situations is when the performer is playing a "fish out of water" role.

Trump and Baldwin are two peas in a pod.

I also wonder if this announcement is a precursor to allegations of past misdeeds? Though with Baldwin's rap sheet and still having savior status among the Left I doubt it will matter.

Not to make excuses for Alec Baldwin's behavior, but would any of us come out unscathed if every word we said in our entire life was reported? Who among us has never bullied anyone, yelled something at our child we regretted, or said something that was sexually inappropriate to another?

No surprises here. Baldwin has always come across as an arrogant pig. Perhaps that's why he does donny so well.

Yes, but you can't go ahead and mock someone for the same behavior you exhibit.

Glass stones and all.

I have little patience but at the same time I'm notoriously late. See the contradiction?

Hell, I've been working on that for over 20 years. Some progress but not much. If someone is late to meet me I can't open my mouth. Those close to me know this and if I tried to say something they'd be all over it.

Perhaps a reason why Baldwin can parody Trump so well is that the 2 share many characteristics.

The irony is delicious. Baldwin must be trying to head off forthcoming allegations.

Two totally distinct and separate subjects.

1) Baldwin is a comedic actor and he does a funny parody of Donald Trump.

2) Baldwin has some issues in his personal character and acknowledges those failings.

We may like Baldwin for his performance on stage, but we do not condone his treatment of others in his personal life.

^^^^This^^^^

He may be setting up a screen for future allegations. The way he treated his ex-wife and daughter was one thing. Imagine someone on set who he considers beneath him.
