Alec Baldwin was taken to a Manhattan hospital early Thursday morning, but the actor’s rep insists the 30 Rock star is doing fine.
WNBC News reports that a caller believed to be Baldwin’s 14-year-old daughter with ex-wife Kim Basinger, Ireland, dialed 911 saying the 51-year-old actor was unresponsive. An official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly, told The Associated Press that Baldwin and his daughter had argued and the teen retaliated by telling authorities that her father threatened to take pills.
Alec’s publicist issued a statement calling it “a misunderstanding on one person’s part,” adding that “Alec was quickly released from the hospital. He’s completely fine and [he] will be at work today.”
Baldwin spoke with police when they arrived at his Central Park West apartment and he was taken to Lenox Hill Hospital where he was examined and released an hour later. Baldwin — who plays Jack Donaghy on the hit NBC sitcom — is slated to co-host the Academy Awards with Steve Martin on March 7.
