MailOnline has now confirmed that Alec Baldwin has been nixed from the MSNBC lineup following the scandal surrounding his homophobic insults and run-ins with multiple photographers. Hours after the news broke, Baldwin took time out of filming a movie in Hawaii to tell his side of the story- and place at least a portion of the blame on gay rights advocates who he argues used him as a scapegoat. The scandal erupted earlier this month when he was videotaped using a homophobic slur towards a photographer outside of his apartment. Though recordings of the events make it appear that he called the man a 'c********** f**,' Baldwin has maintained that he said 'c********** fathead'. He has since apologized for saying the first half of the slur, claiming he did not know that it was derogative towards homosexuals.
