Video: Alec Baldwin attacks woman amid asking him to say “Free Palestine”
American actor Alec Baldwin is once again under fire for smacking a woman’s phone in a coffee shop while questioning him about accidentally shooting and killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during the production of the movie Rust.
Additionally, the video in question had the woman pressuring the actor into saying “Free Palestine, F*ck Israel, and F*ck Zionism,” amid the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza that resulted in the killing of more than 34 thousand Palestinians since Oct. 7, according to the ministry of health in the Strip.
She also confronted him about the shooting incident as she was heard asking Alec Baldwin:
“Why did you kill that lady… no jail time?”

The questioning about Palestine comes in after Alec was seen in a New York pro-Palestine protest refusing to condemn Israel and the massacre it caused in Gaza which resulted in a heating exchange between the two individuals.
Alec Baldwin appeared to be on the phone while also trying to ignore the woman demanding Alec to say “Free Palestine” and “One time, just say it, please” to which he answered aggressively hitting the woman’s phone as the video came to an abrupt end.
Social media users voice their opinions about the matter
The video quickly became the talk of the internet especially X (formerly known as Twitter) as Alec has been currently trending across the platform with thousands of users taking to each post’s comment section and voicing their opinion about the matter:
One user said, “She had that coming.”
Another took shots at Alec and said, “What does he order at the Coffee ☕️ shop?
A single shot?”
“I’m not his fan either, she was annoying AF but he doesn’t have the right to put his hands on anyone if they are not attacking him physically.”
