Alec Baldwin was infuriated when a photographer attempted to snap a picture of his wife and baby in Manhattan on Thursday and in turn, got mixed up in another controversy.

"Get away from my wife and baby with the camera," Baldwin said before he chased the photographer away. "You know what's going to happen to you, don't you? come on."

In the TMZ video, the publication also claims that Baldwin then uttered the anti-gay words "c--cksucking f-g."

However, Baldwin took to Twitter to deny the claim through tweets that have since been deleted from the actor's page.

"If @TMZ asserts that I used an anti-gay epithet, I will sue them," he wrote. "Acoustic analysis proves that the word is fathead. Fathead."

In a tweet that wasn't deleted, Baldwin then wrote, "Anti-gay slurs are wrong. They not only offend, but threaten hard fought tolerance of LGBT rights."

He added: "I'm grateful to all of the ppl I meet + hear from who recognize that I would never say something to offend my friends in the gay community."

The 55-year-old was involved in a similar incident in June after a Daily Mail journalist accused his wife Hilaria Thomas Baldwin of tweeting during actor James Gandolfini's funeral. The journalist said that Baldwin's wife was tweeting about her wedding plans.

Angry by the false allegation, Baldwin again defended his wife by saying that she left her phone in the car and went on to call Stark a "toxic little queen."

He later apologized to GLAAD, an organization that aims for the equality of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

"My ill-advised attack on George Stark of the Daily Mail has absolutely nothing to do with issues of anyone's sexual orientation," he wrote in a letter to GLAAD. "My anger was directed at Mr. Stark for blatantly lying and disseminating libelous information about my wife and her conduct at our friend's funeral service."
