Alec Baldwin found himself in another public altercation on Sunday night
when he nearly got into a physical fight with a comedian impersonating Donald Trump near his Manhattan apartment.
The 66-year-old actor was unloading luggage from a vehicle when the impersonator, identified as comedian Jason Scoop, approached him.
What started as an exchange of words quickly escalated into a heated confrontation, with Baldwin visibly angry at the comedian’s presence.
During the verbal altercation, Baldwin threatened to break Scoop’s neck, making it clear that he was not amused by the interaction.
Baldwin’s Threatening Words Caught on Camera
In footage of the encounter, Baldwin can be heard addressing Scoop in an intense and aggressive manner.
“Now now now, let me ask you a question,” Baldwin says to the comedian. “Now you realize, by the way—No. No, look at me. I want you to look at me. What, you got a camera on me?”
As Baldwin continued, he referenced the fact that his children live in the building.
“Do you realize my kids live in this building? I want you to know something.”
He then issued a direct threat:
“If this camera wasn’t here, I’d snap your f—–g neck in half and break your f—–g neck right now. You know that, don’t you?”
Scoop, who appeared to be recording the interaction, did not back down, but Baldwin’s anger was unmistakable. At one point, Baldwin even said, “I’ll take that camera, and I’ll shove it up your a–.”
Fox News Digital reached out to Baldwin’s representatives for comment, but no official statement has been released.
Not Baldwin’s First Public Confrontation
This is far from the first time that Baldwin has been involved in an aggressive public encounter.
In April, he was caught on video striking an anti-Israel protester’s phone inside a coffee shop. The incident took place at Maman, a café in New York City, where a woman approached Baldwin while he was talking on the phone at the register. She repeatedly asked him to say “Free Palestine” and to criticize Israel amid the ongoing conflict with Hamas. Baldwin refused, and in response, he smacked the woman’s phone. The footage quickly spread online, further cementing Baldwin’s reputation for heated altercations.
Baldwin’s Tumultuous Recent Years
Beyond these confrontations, Baldwin has been making headlines for both personal and legal reasons. He and his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, recently announced their new reality TV show, The Baldwins, which will air on TLC and provide an inside look at their family life. The couple, who have been married for 12 years, share seven children:
Carmen Gabriela (11)
Rafael Thomas (9)
Leonardo Ángel Charles (8)
Romeo Alejandro David (6)
Eduardo Pao Lucas (4)
María Lucía Victoria (3)
Ilaria Catalina Irena (2)
Baldwin is also a father to Ireland Baldwin, his daughter from his previous marriage to Kim Basinger. In 2023, Ireland welcomed her first child, making Baldwin a grandfather for the first time.
The Ongoing Legal Battle Over the ‘Rust’ Shooting
While Baldwin’s heated confrontations in public continue to make news, the most significant legal battle he has faced in recent years revolves around the Rust movie set shooting.
On October 21, 2021, cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally shot when a gun Baldwin was holding discharged on the New Mexico film set. The actor was charged with involuntary manslaughter and initially faced up to 18 months in prison. However, in 2023, a New Mexico judge dismissed the case against Baldwin, citing multiple legal errors. Despite this, the case left a lasting impact on his career and public image.
In a recent interview, Baldwin revealed that he refuses to watch Rust, stating that the tragedy left his wife Hilaria deeply traumatized.
What’s Next for Baldwin?
Baldwin has long been known for his fiery temper and his outspoken nature, but his latest street altercation adds to an already extensive list of public incidents. Whether this confrontation will have any long-term consequences remains to be seen, but for now, Baldwin remains in the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
As he prepares for the launch of The Baldwins, it will be interesting to see whether the reality show helps repair his public image—or if more heated moments like this one continue to define his reputation.
