Recently, there has been a lot of attention surrounding actor Alec Baldwin, and it's not for his latest role on the big screen. Instead, he's making headlines for a confrontation that took place in a coffee shop. The 66-year-old actor was on the phone when a woman approached him and began taunting him about a recent tragedy involving his colleague, Halyna Hutchins. She also repeatedly asked him to show support for Palestine, which seemed to be a sensitive topic for Baldwin.
Despite his attempts to ignore her, the woman continued to press him for a response. She even went as far as to ask the coffee shop staff if they were going to call the police. Baldwin, clearly frustrated and wanting to be left alone, waved her out of the coffee shop. However, the woman persisted, asking him to say "free Palestine" and making derogatory comments about Israel and Zionism.
In a moment of frustration, Baldwin knocked the camera out of the woman's hand, putting an end to the filming. This incident comes after the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust, for which Baldwin is facing charges of involuntary manslaughter. The armorer on set, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was recently found guilty of the same charge.
In January 2023, Baldwin was charged with involuntary manslaughter and pleaded not guilty. However, the charges were dismissed without prejudice a few months later. They were later refiled, and Baldwin's legal team stated that they were looking forward to their day in court. In court documents, Baldwin maintained his innocence and stated that he was unaware the weapon was loaded.
The woman's request for Baldwin to say "free Palestine" comes amid a war in Gaza that has resulted in the deaths of over 1,200 Israelis and 30,000 Palestinians. This humanitarian crisis has left many in Gaza starving and lacking basic necessities. If convicted, Baldwin could face up to 18 months in prison.
