Alec Baldwin has been accused of very bad behaviour by American Airlines staff.

The 30 Rock star was kicked off a plane at LAX Airport yesterday because he refused to turn off his cell phone before departure to New York.

He was apparently playing Words with Friends on his device and didn't want to stop his game

After he was unceremoniously ejected from the plane, Alec took to Twitter to attack the company but the airline has now fired back accusing the actor of being bad-mannered.

""Since an extremely vocal customer has publicly identified himself as being removed from an American Airlines flight on Tuesday, Dec. 6, we have elected to provide the actual facts of the matter as well as the FAA regulations which American, and all airlines, must enforce," their statement read.

They went on to say that Alec refused to turn off his electrical device as requested, stood up with the seat belt light still on and went to the bathroom slamming the door so hard that the pilot heard the noise from the cockpit.

"They immediately contacted the cabin crew to check on the situation," AA continued.

"The passenger was extremely rude to the crew, calling them inappropriate names and using offensive language. Given the facts the passenger was removed from the flight and denied boarding."

Although Alec, 53, had a lot to say on Twitter yesterday about the incident, he has since deactivated his account on the social networking site.
