Alec Baldwin has had enough. After going back and forth for several years and taking a hiatus from Twitter most recently, the Hollywood actor has gone on the record to say social media is full of a**holes. But whether he was also referring to himself, no one knows.
The actor will no longer share his thoughts and musings on the micro-blogging site after his joke about actress Gillian Anderson switching accents went terribly wrong. Here’s what you need to know.
The father-of-seven now says that he quit Twitter because his ‘haters’ misunderstood his tweet about Gillian Anderson’s accent. Of course, this isn’t’ the first time Alec has quit in recent weeks.
He also vowed to stay away from his account back in January after his wife Hilaria Baldwin received backlash for fluctuating her supposed Spanish accent.
Alec Baldwin Deactivates Twitter, Claims Social Media Is Full Of A**Holes
It all began when Alec pointed out an article about Gillian Anderson, who split time growing up between the U.S. and U.K., used an American accent while accepting her Golden Globe for The Crown, the drama series about the British royal family. Alec then tweeted rather sarcastically, “Switching accents? That sounds … fascinating.”
Of course, it didn’t take long at all for critics to point out to Alec that Gillian did in fact live in the UK, whereas his own wife Hilaria never lived in Spain.
Alec then fumed that Twitter is where “all the a–holes in the United States and beyond go to get their advanced degrees in a–holines.”
He added: “You can’t do any irony in the United States anymore because the United States is such an uptight, stressed out place.”
Now, whether or not Alec comes back remains to be seen.
