Here we go again.
Alec Baldwin is once again promising to quit Twitter — for real this time — as he swore off the site Monday for what would be at least the fifth time in the wake of his wife Hillary’s recent Spanish heritage brouhaha.
“Twitter is like a party where everyone is screaming. Not much of a party,” the irascible “30 Rock” alum tweeted. “Goodbye for now.”
Baldwin, 62, had already appeared to swear off Instagram, the site his wife used to first confess that she was really a “white girl” from Boston, and not a Spanish native named Hilaria who struggled to pronounce common English words with her heavy accent.
“Flying away for a bit,” Baldwin wrote on Dec. 29, in the midst of the scandal — just to soon return with 29 posts since then.
But the notorious bloviator has a greater track record with Twitter, having repeatedly quit the site — even deleting his account — almost every time his famous temper landed him in trouble.
The first time he made headlines with it came in Dec. 2011, soon after he was booted from an L.A.-to-JFK flight for freaking out because a crew member told him to turn off his phone.
He cussed out the attendant, delayed the flight — and deactivated his Twitter account in a fit of rage at being called out for his shameful behavior.
It lasted less than a month, however, with Baldwin announcing in January 2012, “Back on Twitter.”
Just like someone committing to a “dry January,” Baldwin was back at it a year later — swearing off Twitter after brawling with photographers around the time he married his Boston gal in June 2012.
“It’s been fun,” he wrote before shutting down the account.
He was soon back, of course — and once again feuding with journalists.
After using the site to threaten to “f–k up” a “toxic little queen” Daily Mail reporter who accused his wife of posting a series of upbeat tweets during the funeral of James Gandolfini, he quit again in June 2013.
“Now, f–k this twitter,” he wrote.
This time, he insisted, he really meant it, telling Vanity Fair that he would “never” tweet again, crediting enlightenment at Gandolfini’s funeral.
“Jimmy Gandolfini was so beloved as a person, and he was so admired as an actor, and he didn’t give a f–k about social media,” Baldwin said.
“I really learned a lesson at the funeral. I said to myself, This is all a waste of time. Meaning it’s fun sometimes, but less and less, and less. It’s just another chink in your armor for people to come and kill you.”
Back on Twitter and back in trouble, Baldwin was back making promises in Feb. 2014 — but this time on an even grander scale.
In a 5,000-word pity piece for New York magazine titled “I Give Up,” Baldwin didn’t just promise to give up social media — he insisted he was saying goodbye to “public life.”
He did not keep to his word for long, of course — nor could he keep away from swearing off tweeting.
“It is w some degree of sadness that I will suspend posting on this a TWITTER account for a period,” he announced in Nov. 2017 amid a firestorm he created about sex accusers in the case of rapist Harvey Weinstein.
This latest time, Baldwin stayed the course longer than normal, lasting weeks after the scandal of his wife’s Spanish heritage — even after he attacked the social media site and users who mocked her.
“You have to kind of hack your way through the debris of Twitter. Twitter is just a vast orchard of crap,” he said in a bizarre video posted to the site last month.
“And I have certainly slung some crap in that orchard myself every now and then with things I’ve said. So, that’s not lost on me that I’m guilty of that as well.”
He stayed around until Monday, even after his selfie-obsessed wife swore off her own favorite social media site, Instagram, last month.
She initially appeared to be following her husband’s footsteps, posting a slew of images after the announcement — but has kept away since then.
The popular yoga guru, who changed her name from Hillary, had failed to correct myriad articles over the years that said she was born on the island of Mallorca.
Hilaria has tearfully taken to social media and the press to whine it was everyone else’s fault for reading into her actions — and that she feels a connection to Spain because she used to visit the country as a kid and her family now lives on the Mediterranean isle.
