Alec Baldwin quits Twitter

Alec Baldwin

Actor-filmmaker Alec Baldwin posted an Instagram video to express disappointment at being trolled after his tweet about Gillian Anderson's accent.

"Wanted to post a video to say that I deactivated my Twitter account today. I just wrote, ‘Oh, that's interesting'. You can't do any irony in the United States anymore because it is such an uptight, stressed-out place right now," Baldwin says in the video.

He added, "But I find that, on Twitter, which is where all the a''holes in the United States go to get their advanced degrees in a''hole-iness, that I had used it as a news aggregator."
