"No matter what, family comes first for Ireland Baldwin. After the 18-year-old daughter of Alec Baldwin showed support for her father in a series of tweets on Nov. 16, The New York Daily News put Ireland on their Monday, Nov. 18 cover with the headline &amp;quot;&amp;apos;Little Pig&amp;apos; to the Rescue!&amp;quot; Not happy, Ireland wrote a lengthy message on Instagram in response to the magazine.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ve dealt with a lot this past week. This has been a particularly rough week for many reasons. When I saw this earlier today, I didn&amp;apos;t really give two shits about it. I thought the little pigs children&amp;apos;s fable reference was a clever touch,&amp;quot; she wrote. &amp;quot;When I revisited this article, I saw it for what it really is. Everyone tells me to stop paying attention to what others are saying, but it&amp;apos;s hard. This hurts. I am a human being, believe it or not. I am also not a celebrity. This is not what I would ever want to be known for. I am so tempted to delete my twitter and all other social media outlets, but I won&amp;apos;t because the small following of loyal friends I have, has been one of the greatest support systems that I could ever ask for. Thousands of strangers that feel as though I&amp;apos;ve known all of them my entire life.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe Daily News&amp;apos; cover references a 2007 voicemail from Alec to his daughter in which he called her a &amp;quot;rude, thoughtless, little pig.&amp;quot; On Twitter Saturday, Ireland tweeted support to her 55-year-old dad after he was caught on camera last Thursday allegedly making homophobic remarks to paparazzi. &amp;quot;For someone who has battled with anger management issues, my dad has grown tremendously,&amp;quot; she wrote. &amp;quot;My dad is far from a homophobe or a racist.&amp;quot;\r\nIn light of the Daily News&amp;apos; cover, however, Ireland is clarifying her comments.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I did not STAND UP for my father. It is never right to treat people the way that he has,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;I simply wanted to show my support for my family. No matter what, my dad is my dad and he is the only one I will ever have. He may have made some wrong choices, but that doesn&amp;apos;t mean I&amp;apos;m leaving his side. The past is past and the Daily News are a bunch of cowards for revisiting my past. In the end, I feel nothing but sorry for them.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;Well, that&amp;apos;s the last I&amp;apos;m saying on this entire situation,&amp;quot; she added. &amp;quot;Like everything else in this life, this too shall pass.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
