Actor Alec Baldwin went ballistic on Twitter last night after the British website Daily Mail published a story alleging his wife, Hilaria Thomas Baldwin, tweeted during recently passed “Sopranos” star James Gandolfini’s funeral.
The actor, who rarely shies away from a good old-fashioned Twitter feud, launched into a series of homophobic and threatening tweets to the article’s author, George Stark.
“If put my foot up your f**king ass, George Stark, but I’m sure you’d dig it too much,” Baldwin said in one tweet.
“I’m gonna find you George Stark, you toxic little queen, and I’m gonna f**k you… up,” read another.
Baldwin has since deleted his Twitter account — again — though his wife had more to say.
My husband fights for me fiercely. It hurts to be misunderstood and it hurts to see your loved one in pain-even more so when she is pregnant

The “30 Rock” star took a hiatus from the site in 2011 after getting booted from an American Airlines flight and again after he married Thomas in 2012. Baldwin has also engaged in plenty of name-calling, notably referring to Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) as an “oil whore” and blaming the IRS scandals on Karl Rove.
In a statement to Fox 411, a rep for the actor said “It’s disgraceful that a reporter would manufacture and publish a story and not call for comment or explanation — especially when it’s intended to take away attention from honoring the memory of a beloved figure like James Gandolfini. There are multiple witnesses to the fact that Hilaria left her phone in the car and wouldn’t, couldn’t, and didn’t tweet during the service.”
And though Baldwin’s rant is in no way justified, it appears Thomas actually wasn’t tweeting during the service. The reporter, Showbiz 411 reported, may have just gotten confused by the time zones. Stark was located in Los Angeles, while the funeral was held in New York.
