Actress Confronts Sean Penn Over His Support for Chavez: ‘You Are a Communist A**Hole!’

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!’”

You better knock off your insults. I stand by my post. She is a washed up hag like you are.

[TigersEye]

You’re a veritable basket case of mental issues. lol

[napscoordinator]

Why? Because all you do is insult instead of having an intelligent conversation. You have NEVER been able to do that. Why???????? Supposedly FREEPERS are smart so I don't know what your problem is. Ignorant people using use insults because they can't discuss the subject. Oh well. Unfortunately for you, you will always be inadequate in intelligence so I will take your insults in stride. You mean zero to me. I was trying to help you change yourself but it is impossible. So you and the old actress can go back to Cuba.

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.

Is that an example of intelligent conversation? My case is made.

[bcsco]

You’re the insulting one. Get off it. You insulted her and then a fellow FReeper. You made fool of yourself over nothing. Big head, little mind.

She was also in “Extreme Predjudice” with Powers Boothe and Nick Nolte. It was a damn good Mid 80’s shoot em’ up

I am done with this thread. I am on to important things like the House is suspending the vote for the taxes.....maybe instead of wasting your time on an entertainment thread, going to an important thread like the House suspending the vote would be more important. This is very small news in the big scheme of things.

I wish she wasn’t so proud of her boobs. What’s up with them? I loathe women exposing their boobs, if I met her, I wouldn’t know where to look. I’m 72 yoa,

[TigersEye]

...maybe instead of wasting your time on an entertainment thread, ...

You did to say nothing of importance or interest.

[bcsco]

Good riddance. In the scheme of things, you’re not much yourself.

[jdsteel]

Amen...you took the words out of my mouth.

“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.”

You are overly impressed by mere celebrity, imho.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

yay

[TigersEye]

I kind of like women’s boobs but that’s just me. It wasn’t what this thread was about though just something added after the fact.

[driftdiver]

Was that her in Total Recall?

[driftdiver]

Most men you aren’t 72 know where to look, which is why women tend to be proud of them.

[PGalt]

HOORAY Cuban-born, Venezuelan-raised actress Maria Conchita Alonso!

“...if I met her, I wouldn’t know where to look. “

Heck, I’m 50 and I still know where to look.

[reg45]

No! But she played the girlfriend in Moscow on the Hudson with Robin Williams.

We could annex Poland. Then ths United States would border Russia on two sides.
