The actor was furious when Ireland - who lives with her mother Kim Basinger in Los Angeles - did not answer the phone when she knew he was due to call from New York.
Alec Baldwin with daughter Ireland, and ex-wife Kim Basinger:
A voicemail left by the Hollywood star for his daughter Ireland calling her 'a rude pig' was made public

During the call, recorded on the girl's answering machine, Baldwin, 49, ranted: "You are a rude, thoughtless little pig. You don't have the brains or the decency as a human being. "I don't give a damn that you're 12 years old, or 11 years old, or that you're a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn't care about what you do as far as I'm concerned.
"Once again I have made an ass of myself trying to get to a phone. You have humiliated me for the last time with this phone."
He then threatened to fly to LA "for the day, just to straighten you out on this issue".
Baldwin, calling on April 11 at 10.30am New York time (7.30am in California), told Ireland he drops everything when it is time for his scheduled phone calls and expects her to do the same.
He was due to see Ireland yesterday and before hanging up, warned her: "You'd better be ready Friday the 20th to meet with me."
But on Wednesday, Los Angeles Superior Court Commissioner Maren Nelson heard the tape and temporarily suspended Baldwin's visitation rights. She could make the ban permanent next month.
Baldwin, star of The Good Shepherd, and Basinger, 53, who won an Oscar for the 1997 film L.A. Confidential, divorced in 2002 and have been battling over Ireland for years.
The tape was obtained by entertainment website TMZ. The Baldwin camp claimed it was leaked by Basinger and that the actor had apologised to Ireland for his rant.
