Cuban-born, Venezuelan-raised actress Maria Conchita Alonso and actor Sean Penn had a contentious exchange at Los Angeles International airport recently, in which Alonso called Penn a “communist a**hole“ and Penn called Alonso a ”pig.”
Over a year and a half after Alonso penned an open letter to Penn asking him why he supports socialist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, the two met up serendipitously (or not so) at LAX while both were waiting to claim lost luggage.
Alonso, who starred alongside Penn in the 1988 film “Colors,” described the exchange to Steve Malzberg on WMAL.
“I go ‘Hello,’ and he smiles and says, ‘Oh, you lost your bag too?” Alonso told Steve Malzberg on WMAL. “And I’m like, ‘No, my mother (lost her bag).’ And at that moment he recognizes me because he didn’t recognize me before, and he goes, ‘Oh, it’s you.’”
Alonso says she calmly told Penn she wanted to speak with him about the tension over Chavez when Penn blew up at her.
“He goes, ‘I don’t want to talk to you. You speak badly about me. You insult me on TV,” Alonso said.
Alonso says the conversation escalated when Penn accused Alonso’s brother of attempting to assassinate Chavez, which Alonso says is not true.
“So I’m like, ‘You are in favor of Hugo Chavez and [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad.’ Because I also saw a picture of footage from TV where Chavez and Ahmadinejad are together and Sean Penn is next to them. And, you know, he‘s like ’I’ve never said that about Ahmadinejad. You’re a pig.’ And I go to him, ‘And you are a communist, Sean Penn!’”

I'd vote to throw in California (if they wouldn't reject the deal on that basis) !!
The moment he called her a pig, she shoulda bitchslapped the red off his ass.
I am siding with her hotness.
Ease up on Sean, after all he is in mourning for Kim Jong-Il.
He most certainly is and always has been. The only surprise here is that Penn didn't try to punch her. It would fit his personality.
Of course I would say that “Communist A-hole” is redundant.
nothing wrong with a nice camera flash
Hell yeah! We kick California, Oregon, Washington, D.C. Maine, Vermont, New York City out of the Union and pick up Poland, Lithuania, Hungary and Sicily
I think trading Freedom Loving Anti Communists and getting rid of our Communists would be mutually beneficial to all.
Bring in the Czech Republic (RIP Vaclav) and Slovakia for good measure.
Let’s make it efficient and just have a population swap.
haaaa I’m listening to that radio clip right now and I just saw this thread!!
She’s great!!
I’m not one to advocate violence in personal relations but I wish she had kicked his a## just so that forever after we could say “Sean Penn was beat up by a girllllll”
Still, it’s good to see someone confront that “communist a###### Sean Penn”
“you’ve been a communist all your life!” [Maria to Sean Penn]
She’s not going to win points with too many pc leftists in Hollywood, though.
Sean has always been a POS.
Bravo, Maria!!!
I knew an escapee from Cuba, and he loves this country, and he absolutely despises Obama for turning this country into a “mega-Cuba.”
I thought we did that back in the 1890's?
As for the Czech and Slovakia, sure why not? As long as they don't bring any of their communists with them. And Since this thread is about a Latin American, I say we add Chile as well (although since they are a 1st world country with a 1st world economy, unlike so many other south american nations, they are actually solvent, I am not sure they would want to be involved with our S.S. system)
It'll never happen. Sean Penn has WAY TOO MUCH experience beating up women. Madonna, Robin Wright to name two. Who knows how many others?
Mark
I like her. Don’t know who she is though.
lol. I know. This is dumb using a no name supposed actress to bash Sean Penn. If I were him, I would have laughed in her face. I mean I can’t stand Sean Penn, but seriously they are going to use some has been washed up actress. At least use someone like Sofia Vegarara who is current and a full fledged actress.
rintense....come on....she is guilty as heck.
No one was using her you idiot. She did this all on her own.
Yeah, because a currently popular actress is so much better informed about the true reults of Communism than someone who came from Cuba. /sarc
