According to the website of the local Fox station in New York, after Alec Baldwin‘s daughter Ireland called 911, at 12:13 a.m. paramedics responded and transported the “30 Rock” star to Lenox Hill hospital in New York “with effects of possible alcohol or drug abuse.”

NOT true.

While it is accurate that his daughter dialed 911, and that he willingly went to the hospital, as Baldwin’s rep explained in a statement, “This was a misunderstanding on one person’s part. Alec was quickly released from the hosptial, he’s completely fine and will be at work today.”

When Gossip Cop followed up with his rep, Baldwin’s spokesman reiterated, “Absolutely no drugs or alcohol.”

The 911 call followed an argument with Baldwin’s daughter, for whom who you’ll recall the Emmy winner had left a stinging voicemail for a few years ago, and for which he has subsequently apologized profusely, citing in part his bitter custody battle with ex-wife Kim Basinger.

According to other reports, Ireland told 911 that Baldwin had threatened to take pills, but a source close to the actor confirms to Gossip Cop that, too, is “completely false.”

From the time paramedics took Baldwin to the hospital, and he was back in his home was approximately an hour and 45 minutes.

Gossip Cop will update as more details emerge.
