I can honestly say that lady was in the wrong. I don't know what to think of Alec Baldwin but someone getting in your face like that and recording without your consent is incredibly wrong. I'm not going to lie, I would have punched her in the face.

reply

You'd think after he got away with murder he'd calm down and lay low. Nope, he's still going out in public and mixing it up while smashing other people's property. I guarantee he is a wife beater.

reply

He doesn't need your permission to go out in public.

reply

Well if not me he should at least ask his publicist. It takes almost nothing to get under his skin and he becomes PHYSICAL during his angry outbursts. Now with what he did on the set of rust hecklers have something personal to taunt him with and if he does something stupid on camera again, I'm not sure even his big political friends will be able to get him off.

Watch the video, it looks like he punched the woman. Now apparently he just smashed her camera but this is the behavior of someone who has Never been held accountable in his life. If it were you or me and we knew another fuckup could end our career or worse, we'd close our mouths and leave but Baldwin actually lets it get to him and fights a stranger. He is going to get himself in trouble again.

reply

He doesn't need your permission to go out in public.

He doesn't deserve to be harassed in public in such a horrible way. Shouting obscenities and insults and demanding he say "f___k Israel", etc.

"If it were you or me and we knew another fuckup could end our career or worse, we'd close our mouths and leave..."

Just say "you". You know nothing about me. I would have probably slapped her camera down. She deserved it.

You put your head down, take it and just leave. Just take it. Wimp.

"Lord Rake"

You are not royalty. You are very common. Unlike Alec Baldwin and me.

"You know nothing about me. I would have probably slapped her camera down. She deserved it."

That would have landed you in jail.

"You put your head down, take it and just leave. Just take it. Wimp."

Yeah, it's called impulse control. It helps people save money, keep off of drugs, hold down a job and stay out of jail. You obviously know nothing about it.

"You are not royalty. You are very common. Unlike Alec Baldwin and me."

According to you. And yes he does need my permission to go out in public.

reply

"That would have landed you in jail."

Nope.

"And yes he does need my permission to go out in public."

Nope.

reply

Yep
Yep

I don't like Baldwin. He's a leftist jerk, and a woman is dead partly because of his incompetence and neglect. However, he did not "get away with murder". He did not murder anyone.

reply

When your trying to present yourself as innocent, you need to maintain normalcy.

reply

True, but his normalcy looks angry. He is a good actor I would think he'd be able to be charming out in public and avoid making a scene.

reply

I thought he's kind of always had a reputation for being an asshole. I remember hearing things back in the 90s. He was known as a "bad boy", which loosely translates to "dick".

reply

I don't agree Lord Rake that he's a good actor . I lost all respect for him with his SNL Trump impersonation. That was the dumbest, most over-acted, inaccurate portrayal I have ever seen on SNL. The new guy is so much better. Baldwin totally let his bias show in that impersonation, too. I will never watch another Alec Baldwin movie or show again. I can't stand to look at his face.

Disclaimer: I hate Trump but I agree with his Politics. I voted against Hillary and Biden, but would never admit to directly voting FOR Trump. He's the biggest idiot the Presidency has ever witnessed.

reply

He is probably perfectly affable in public...until someone sticks a camera in his face.

Baldwin has had many many altercations with photographers over the years. They know he has a temper and they exploit it, they target him and rile him up. And those photos and videos make a lot of money. So they deliberately wind him up.

So if people like this follow and taunt him, it's inevitable he is going to snap.

Also...why didn't the shop owner kick her out? Private premises, he could have asked her to leave. Baldwin tried, but she ignored him.

Nope...I am not supporting Baldwin, but this woman was in the wrong.

reply

Agreed. Indeed, I am probably even more anti-Baldwin if anything.

But that woman deserved a punch in the face.

reply

I'd bet money he paid that person to "accost" him in order that he could gain public sympathy. It was fake. It was set up. Everyone hates him, and the only way he can lessen that hate is to force some kind of situation that makes him look sympathetic.

What was he even doing in that coffee shop. He didn't seem to be doing anything. He stopped at the door on the way out. Why? He should have just left.

reply

Yup, it screams of FAKE!!!

reply

I could swear I was in the Youtube comment section with this type of conspiratorial "FAKE!!11" drivel being posted. Moviechat is really scraping the bottom of the barrel these days, and that's saying something.

reply

I never thought of that but it's a very good point and a real possibility!

reply

Goddamn, what is up with conservatives and conspiracy theories. Y'all have extreme trust issues if you're immediate reaction to this video is that it's fake. No wonder y'all actually think the earth is fucking flat.

reply

Yes, you figured out the secret we conservatives hold. We believe the earth is flat. You must be some kind of genius.

reply

TrentnQuarantino is a conservative?!?!

reply

I'm not a Conservative in the least. I am completely outraged and disappointed by the moronic excesses of people who claim they are on the Left who are supportive of Hamas and Islam. I agree with 2 issues of the Right, and so do a lot of Democrats - one is on Israel, and the other is on the border.

Aside from that, I support Univeral Health Care and educuation. Democracy. The very rich should pay much higher taxes, and the media and politics have far too much money in them.

Alec Baldwin is in no way an assett for the Left/Democrats by the way.

reply

I don't think it was faked, but it might have gained him some public sympathy if he didn't swipe at the camera a then end.

reply

He could've completely destroyed that lady's phone and it would've been justified in my opinion. I'm usually the last person to call for more laws, but I do think we need to expand our understanding of what harassment is. You shouldn't be able to just start yelling at people in public and following them around with the intention of disrupting their life.

reply

I can see how it could be seen that way. But, at the same time, these "influencers" are so crazy, I wouldn't be surprised.

reply

Lucky she wasn't messing with young Alec Baldwin, he woulda knocked her head off her shoulders.

reply

or The Shadow ..can you imagine . The coffeeshop would go all dark close up/light on his eyes, then he'd disappear right before her eyes and Alecs husky ghostly voice would be all around the coffeeshop in Dolby Surround Sound..

Alec: You dare to provoke The Shadow?!

Black lady: where are you?? who that?? where you go?!

Alec: The Shadow knows!..Muwahahahahah!

Black lady *screams*

reply

Surprised that Baldwin doesn't have a bodyguard to deal with types like this.

reply

Woman sounds deranged. Is there some logical connection between an accidental death that has been blamed (properly, I think) on the armorer and Hamas/Israel?

Then the sad old jerk, apparently harassed beyond endurance, punches the crazy woman and becomes guilty of battery...

reply

Good post until you said sad old jerk. Alec is not sad. He is not a jerk either.

reply

lol, he's done lots of things that make him a jerk.

reply

I don't know anything about his life outside of films and the shooting case, but... look at him. The man in this video is a sad old jerk. He looks pathetic and punches out a crazy woman. I wouldn't even have recognized him.

reply

net worth has zero bearing on sadness or jerkness

reply

I wouldn't go so far as to say "net worth has zero bearing on sadness" moviechatterer.

Would you rather be rich (LIKE ALEC BALDWIN AND ME) or poor?

As for jerkness- poor people are jerks. Rich people are (sometimes) "foolish".

Just like poor people are crazy. Rich people are "eccentric".

A chambermaid is pregnant. A lady is "expecting".

reply

you may have misinterpreted thingmakersback use of "sad"

reply

And this is precisely why I hate Smartphones and will never own one.. Everyone is too busy filming other people and in this case, Alec Baldwin was very well restrained for what it's worth?? 🤔

reply

💯 Agreed! I own a smartphone but would NEVER film anyone without their consent. Our kids would never do it. Shameful and sad what people think they are entitled to.

reply

Hard to believe she's black. Took me by surprise.
