Actor Alec Baldwin was caught on camera threatening comedian Jason Scoop over his remarks that he ‘murdered’ cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the sets of his film ‘Rust’.
In a video that has gone viral online, the YouTuber impersonating President Donald Trump, is seen approaching Baldwin while he was unloading his car and saying, “Alec, I’m your favourite president.”
He then went on to make the controversial remark, referencing the fatal Rust shooting, saying, “I will give you a total pardon for murdering that woman, if you kiss the ring. Kiss the ring, Alec. Kiss the big, beautiful ring.”
Scoop went on to say, “Well Alec, if you don’t want that pardon for murdering that woman in cold blood, you can call it first-degree—you can do whatever you want, but it was not good.” He then pretended to speak as Hutchins, claiming she was “looking down, smiling” in approval of the stunt.
The exchange soon got heated with the actor going on to confront Scoop, warning him, “Listen to me real carefully. If this camera wasn’t here, I’d snap your f***ing neck in half and break your f***ing neck right now. You know that, don’t you?”
As Scoop walked away while continuing his Trump impression, Baldwin pursued him again, telling him to leave and adding, “I’ll take that camera and I’ll shove it up your a**.”
This is yet another public spat that the actor has been involved in since the tragic accident on the sets of Rust in October 2021 made headlines. Hutchins, the cinematographer on the set, was fatally shot when Baldwin reportedly discharged a prop firearm. Initially charged with manslaughter, Baldwin’s case was dismissed in July 2024 due to prosecutorial misconduct.
Previously, a video of Baldwin went viral when he clashed with an anti-Israel mob in NYC after protesters accused him of ‘genocide’ and taunted him over the on-set Rust shooting.
Scoop’s clip ended with a note that read, “This video is for comedic purposes. None of the views expressed are my own. Alec Baldwin has never been conviced of murderer in the first degree. And was great in Beetle Juice (sic).”
