Alec Baldwin quits Twitter

Los Angeles, Hollywood actor-filmmaker Alec Baldwin posted an Instagram video on Thursday to express disappointment at being trolled after his tweet about Gillian Andersons accent."Wanted to post a quick video to say that I deactivated my Twitter account today.

I just wrote, Oh, thats interesting.And of course, you cant do any irony on -- you cant do any irony in the United States anymore because the United States is such (an) uptight, stressed-out place and such an unpleasant place right now," Baldwin says in the video.

He added: "But I find that, of course, on Twitter, which is where all the a--holes in the United States and beyond go to get their advanced degrees in a--hole-iness, that I had used it as a news aggregator, and I suppose I will do my best to find other places that are similar in their news aggregation in real time and periodicals I like."In December, Baldwins wife Hilaria was accused on Twitter for faking a Spanish accent and misrepresenting her background.
