Actor Alec Baldwin recently lost his temper with comedian Jason Scoop, who was dressed as Donald Trump during an interaction on a New York City street. The comedian triggered Baldwin by bringing up the death of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. 

A video of the confrontation shows the actor threatening the comedian, saying, “If this camera wasn’t here, I’d snap your f***ing neck in half and break your f***-ing neck right here.” Their interaction has since gone viral on social media.

Baldwin was loading items into the trunk of his car when the comedian approached him. 

“Alec, it’s your favorite president,” Scoop can be heard saying in the clip, alluding to the fact that Baldwin impersonates the current president on Saturday Night Live. “Look, Alec, I will offer you a total pardon, because I want to be friends, right? I want to be friends. I will give you a total pardon for murdering that woman if you kiss the ring.”

Scoop points his ring finger at Baldwin, “Kiss the ring, Alec.” At first, the actor ignores Scoop, but the comedian kept poking the cage. 

“Alec, if you don’t want that pardon for murdering that woman in cold blood, you can call it first degree, you can call it whatever you want, but it was not good. She’s looking down on me right now, smiling, happy. ‘Thank you for confronting the man who took me out, who killed me.’”

At that point, Baldwin responded.

“You got a camera on me here?” the actor says, approaching Scoop and instructing him to look him in the eye. “You realize my kids live in this building? I want you to know something. I want you to be real careful,” he adds before threatening to “break his f***ing neck.”

Scoop remains in character as Baldwin tells him to leave. “I want you to get out of here,” Baldwin says, telling him, “I’ll take that camera and shove it up your a**.”

Baldwin was accused of involuntary manslaughter in October 2021. Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed when a gun Baldwin was holding discharged on set, but the actor has maintained all along that he never pulled the trigger. The prosecution argued that Baldwin was reckless and criminally negligent for firing the gun, while the defense maintained that as an actor, their client was not responsible for gun safety on set.

Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed the case on the third day of the trial after learning that the prosecution did not reveal a cache of bullets to the defense. That decision was later appealed, but then the prosecutor dropped the appeal in December, effectively ending Baldwin’s battle in the courts.

The actor previously settled a civil lawsuit with Hutchins’ family.
