It 's been a rough week for Alec Baldwin . Not only did he give very emotional testimony against an accused stalker , but he also raised the ire of GLAAD after using an anti-gay slur he did n't realize was one . According to TMZ , the `` 30 Rock '' star chased after a photographer outside his Manhattan apartment on Thursday and called the man a `` c**ksucking f*g. '' `` Get away from my wife and the baby with the camera , '' Baldwin can be heard yelling on video taken of the incident . `` What f***ing language you want that in ? '' On Friday Baldwin posted a statement on MSNBC 's website saying , `` I did not intend to hurt or offend anyone with my choice of words , but clearly I have -- and for that I am deeply sorry . Words are important . I understand that , and will choose mine with great care going forward . '' The incident occurred hours after Canadian actress Genevieve Sabourin was found guilty of stalking and harassing Baldwin . `` What I said and did this week , as I was trying to protect my family , was offensive and unacceptable . Behavior like this undermines hard-fought rights that I vigorously support . '' The statement came after MSNBC announced a two-week suspension for Baldwin 's Friday evening show `` Up Late With Alec Baldwin . '' `` I understand 'Up Late ' will be taken off the schedule for tonight and next week . I want to apologize to my loyal fans and to my colleagues at MSNBC -- both for my actions and for distracting from their good work . Again , please accept my apology , '' wrote Baldwin . Following reports of the incident , the activist organization GLAAD expressed its disappointment on Twitter . `` Mr. Baldwin ca n't lend his support for equality on paper , while degrading gay people in practice , '' GLADD tweeted . The organization later added via Twitter , `` It 's clearly time Mr. Baldwin listens to the calls from so many LGBT people and allies to end this pattern of anti-gay slurs . '' Baldwin responded with his own series of tweets . `` Anti-gay slurs are wrong , '' he said . `` They not only offend , but threaten hard fought tolerance of LGBT rights . I 'm grateful to all of the ppl I meet + hear from who recognize that I would never say something to offend my friends in the gay community . '' He also said `` 1-Rich Ferraro from @ glaad informs me that c'sucker is an anti-gay epithet . In which case I apologize and will retire it from my vocabulary . '' On Friday TMZ featured video of Baldwin asking his male hairdresser if he thought he was a homophobe , to which the stylist jokingly responded , `` Yes . Big time . '' This is not the first time Baldwin has had a run-in with paparazzi . In August , Baldwin was photographed holding a paparazzi 's arms behind his back and pinning him over the hood of a parked car . Both Baldwin and the photographer called 911 but no charges were filed . In 2012 , a New York Daily News photographer accused Baldwin of assault . Baldwin said the photographer bumped him with his camera .
Alec Baldwin shouted a word at a reporter . GLAAD tweeted about it . Baldwin said that he will ` ` ' '' the word from his vocabulary .
