The photographer Alec Baldwin accused in a letter to the East Hampton Star of stalking him in order to snap “photos of my wife and/or our newborn child” is fighting back.
Jason Gutterman has slammed what he calls “Baldwin’s outrageous behavior, blatant lies and mudslinging flurry of insults.” The paparazzo wonders in a letter of his own, published by the newspaper, whether the “30 Rock” star’s behavior is due to “undiagnosed bipolar disorder or just . . . skewed reality.” He says Baldwin can be regularly seen leaving his mansion “disheveled . . . with hair uncombed.”
Gutterman, a local resident of 40 years, bravely tells the actor: “You have single-handedly amassed a long history of verbal abuse, including against your own daughter; physical assault, racial slurs, being thrown off a commercial airliner, and an all-around tendency toward bad behavior . . . You are not above the law . . . You shall certainly be the cause of your own undoing.”
Baldwin has responded in another letter to the paper, saying, “Mr. Gutterman is a fool and a coward.”
