Embattled actor Alec Baldwin allegedly smacked an anti-Israel protester’s phone out of her hand during a recent confrontation inside a New York City coffee shop, Radar reports.
Although it is unclear when exactly the tense confrontation took place, a video of the altercation was uploaded to X on Monday evening.
According to the video posted by the social media account Crackhead Barney & Friends this week, Baldwin snapped after the woman accosted the embattled Rust actor inside a coffee shop called Maman on University Place in Manhattan.
“White devil Alec Baldwin attacked me,” the person who runs the Crackhead Barney & Friends X account wrote alongside the video of the incident. “While I was trying to get coffee.”
Meanwhile, the video itself showed the woman confronting Baldwin several times as he tried to order a coffee.
The woman demanded that Baldwin say, “Free Palestine.”
“Free Palestine, Alec, just one time, and I’ll leave you alone,” the person who confronted Baldwin charged. “I’ll leave you alone, I swear. Just say ‘Free Palestine’ one time, one time.”
“F— Israel, f— Zionism,” the woman continued.
The woman also brought up the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust in New Mexico back in October 2021.
Baldwin recently pleaded not guilty to one charge of involuntary manslaughter in connection to Hutchins’ October 2021 death. A trial is currently scheduled for July.
“Why did you kill that lady?” the woman who confronted the former 30 Rock actor charged further in the video. “You killed that lady and got no jail time.”
“You know he’s a criminal,” the woman continued after Baldwin asked a nearby worker to call the police. “You know he’s a f—— criminal.”
Flash forward to the end of the nearly one-minute-long video, and Baldwin appeared to slap the woman’s phone out of her hand after she shoved the phone closer into the embattled actor’s face.
“Can you do me a quick favor?” Baldwin asked the nearby coffee shop worker before he appeared to slap the woman’s phone away. “Can you do me one quick favor?”
