Why does Alec Baldwin always avoid consequences for his repeated bad behavior?

Is there a double standard because of his liberal politics?

i think its because he doesn't apologize for anything, makes fun of himself about it and a lot of his targets are unsympathetic like the paparazzi

Arnold is destroying his career as we speak.\ \ Kim Basinger also thought she was Meryl Streep and picked inappropriate follow-up roles after L.A.Confidential but her behavior with Alec Baldwin - leaking those tapes and sacrificing her own daughter's name for vengeance ruined her career.

I agree her behaviour was appalling and cruel to her daughter; however, I don't believe for one minute that if Alec had done the same thing it would have affected his career one bit! Tina Fey still would have hired him.

Alec Baldwin chose to do "A Streetcar Named Desire" on Broadway instead of the sequel to "The Hunt For Red October." That, and his antics onset of "The Marrying Man," killed his leading man career.

It wasn't just him, [R22]. Basinger was difficult too. They hated the script and gave Neil Simon, who wrote it, a really hard time. They were constantly bashing the film and its makers in the press.

SPY Magazine did a terrific hatchet job on the making of "The Marrying Man", detailing Baldwin's onset nastiness and Basinger's insane demands. I don't remember the details, except that for EVERY take of a closeup she left the set and had her makeup completely redone (which took about an hour per retake), where any other actress just had her powder and lipstick touched up. Their unbridled egotism cost the filmmakers an unholy fortune, and then the film was a massive flop. Their careers both tanked overnight. So "LA Confidential" was actually a comeback for Basinger, a comeback which went nowhere since she was no longer young but was still a pain. And the whole flap about the phone call came well after their heydays, and after the first round of comebacks.

"but her behavior with Alec Baldwin - leaking those tapes and sacrificing her own daughter's name for vengeance ruined her career." Oh please. Baldwin is no walk in the park himself. The guy had drug and alcohol issues for the longest time. He berated the **** out of her at a LI restaurant after she won the oscar. Kim's problems stem from the fact that she has that condition where you don't want to leave your house.

Kim Basinger was the most beautiful woman in Hollywood but a total nutcase. Baldwin, who could love him? I know he is impossible but she should have just divorced him and forgot about him.

Alec always thinks he is above the rest of the pack of regular citizens. I remember about 2 years ago; he was in a commercial for Capital One and it play like 20 times a day - pushing the Capital One Travel Rewards Mileage Card.

On one flight he was on the first class seat and was playing a smartphone game and he would not stop and was kicked off the flight for not obeying the flight attendant. He got to go on SNL to make fun of himself with the same scene. So SNL kind of save his career in the process and his Capital One career too!

LOL!

Well, he was at the lugguage area wearing his dark sunglasses and the area was not lit up to maximum lighting because it was not being used. He phoned to be pickup. But the media got their first about 20 reporters and their camera personnel. Well, Alec did not want to answer their questions and keep walking but could not see to good because his glasses were to dark and the camera lights made it worse for him since it kind of blinded him and he was walking into columns that were in the baggage claims area. It was funny because he was going here and there and bumping into fix objects like he was severely drunk. Finally, the limo driver with his sign came to the rescue! He manage to use his one of his hands to move his sunglasses to one side so he could see what was going on. It was very funny! Just like the rage in NYC against the paparazzi! Only he was on the offensive instead of the defensive. Both were funny to watch! LOL!

I wonder if Kim Basinger could also suffer from Asperger's syndrome? Daryl Hannah has suggested that her Asperger’s as played a hand in wrecking her career. In a nutshell, she said: “I never went on talk shows, never went to premieres. Going to the Academy Awards was so painful for me. I’d almost faint just walking down the red carpet. I was so socially awkward and uncomfortable that I eventually got blacklisted.”

“Studio executives would call me but I’d be too shy to call them back. So after a while a couple of studios literally told my manager that I was blacklisted.”

Asperger’s syndrome wasn’t as known now as it was say, during the supposed peaks of Kim Basinger (who like Hannah, always seems very private, shy, and uncomfortable in front of the paparazzi) and Daryl Hannah’s careers. Therefore, it would’ve been easy to look at these as cases them coming across as extremely stand-offish, eccentric, and frustratingly aloof.

Kim's parents when she was really young, thought that she may have been autistic since she was always so withdrawn and quiet.

Alec Baldwin was reportedly a nightmare to work with on the set of NBC’s 30 Rock, often showing up to set late, yelling at cast and crew and complaining about something as innocuous as “dry air.” His reputation for being difficult to work with goes back much further. The Week compiled a list of his many, many notable public freakouts, which are too numerous and confusing to list here.

Stop blaming it on Asperger's. She's just a self-centered moron who happens to be good looking, just as he is.

I think that despite his real life a-hole tendencies, most people want to give Alec Baldwin a "free pass" to so speak because he's charming and he is talented, and people love him in 30 Rock. It also helps perhaps, that his ex-wife, Kim Basinger isn't exactly much of a "saint" (or has her own personality issues to put things nicely) either.

'Stay away from my wife!' Alec Baldwin unleashes foul-mouthed tirade at photographer... as Hilaria posts her own photos of the couple on social media

[mets82]

I always wonder why Alec Baldwin seems to have so much anger. He's like Kanye West. Good looking guy, good looking girlfriend/wife, kids, nice home, fame, fortune etc. And your angry...why???

Well, let's put this to the test:

Why has Kim been so reclusive for at least the past 10 or so years (basically ever since she and Alec Baldwin split up)? Is her agoraphobia that bad that she rather stay as far away from the limelight as possible?

Alec Baldwin

There's no doubting that Alec Baldwin is an outspoken man. Whether he's being accused of fighting paparazzi or shouting homophobic slurs, his private life is usually shoved into the limelight on a weekly basis. And then he apologizes and we're all okay with that, because, well, he's Alec Baldwin. As a number of his co-stars have said, that's just who he is.

Does being that way make Alec Baldwin a pleasure to work with? Not always. Baldwin was allegedly part of the reason Shia LaBeouf left the Broadway show Orphans in 2013 because the two actors had clashed so often at rehearsals. On 30 Rock, his co-star Cheyenne Jackson had one thing to say about Baldwin: "What I learned from him was really good comedic timing and don't get in his light."

Because despite his many faults and erratic behavior he hasn't quite crossed the line into being unforgivable like Bill Cosby.

Why Woody Allen is still working is still a mystery...
