Alec Baldwin confesses he bullied women, and wants the situation to change

The Paley Center for Media honoured Alec Baldwin for his distinguished career and supportive efforts for the organisation’s educational initiatives on Thursday, November 2. The event included a discussion with “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” announcer and “Saturday Night Live” writer-producer Steve Higgins. Baldwin discussed the current sexual misconduct allegations circulating in Hollywood, during the session. The actor admitted that he has been guilty of treating women poorly in the past by saying: “I certainly have treated women in a very sexist way. I’ve bullied women. I’ve overlooked women. I’ve underestimated women. Not as a rule,” he said. “From time to time, I’ve done what a lot of men do, which is … when you don’t treat women the same way you treat men. You don’t. I’m from a generation where you really don’t and I’d like that to change. I really would like that to change.” The Emmy winning actor also said that the way individuals function in the workplace needs to change. He mentioned the problem is not just in Hollywood but everywhere. According to him, these misconducts are hurting productivity and the business that they do. While accepting the honour, he also said: “I knew of certain things, that there were rumors of things happening to people, but I didn’t necessarily know the scope, when you hear the hundreds and hundreds of women who are complaining about this.” “It’s been a very eye-opening experience for me personally. We’ve got to be vigilant in a new way to make sure that everybody is comfortable and that we get the job done together that we’re there to do,” said the world famous Donald Trump impressionist on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.”
