While at a New York coffee shop, actor Alec Baldwin was approached by a woman who harassed him over the fatal shooting on the set of the upcoming Western movie Rust, which Alec co-produced and wrote. She also demanded that he say “free Palestine” and “f**k Israel.”
In defense, Alec knocked a phone out of the woman’s hand as she spoke up about the late cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who got shot by Alec after the latter discharged a live bullet during rehearsal. The 51-second video of her asking about his jail time made it online attracting wavering opinions.
During the bizarre scene, the woman spoke to Alec saying, “Alec can you please say free Palestine one time? Why did you kill that lady? You killed that lady and got no jail time? No jail time Alec? No jail time Alec?”
She repeatedly begged Alec to say “free Palestine, f**k Israel” and she would let him go. “Free Palestine Alec, just one time, and I’ll leave you alone? I’ll leave you alone, I swear. Just say free Palestine one time, one time. Please say it, one time. Free Palestine, f**k Zionism, f*** Israel,” she insisted.
Alec held the door open for the woman to leave, however, she refused and he sent her phone flying out of her grip after asking the coffee shop staff to call the police. The clip made it to X with the caption, “White devil Alec Baldwin attacked me while I was trying to get coffee.”
Alec had engaged in an argument with a pro-Palestine protester who wanted to know his stance about the Hamas unrest, which has claimed the lives of more than 1,200 Israelis and 30,000 Palestinians, including over 14,000 children. Aside from that, he pleaded not guilty to manslaughter after mistakenly killing Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza on the outskirts of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Alec was recharged last January after another analysis of the gun used, which he claimed to have not pulled the trigger but the hammer instead. His lawyers accused prosecutors of “violating nearly every rule in the book,” ultimately asking the judge to dismiss the case. The prosecutor rebutted stating that it was “predictable, false, misleading, and histrionic misrepresentation of the facts.” The judge has yet to rule, and Rust’s filming is on with Hutchin’s widower Matthew as executive producer.
