Title: “I’d Snap Your F** Neck,’ Actor Alec Tells Man Impersonating Trump, Video Emerges”
In a shocking video that has gone viral, actor Alec Baldwin was caught on camera threatening a man impersonating US President Donald Trump over a perceived slight. The incident occurred when the impersonator, Jason Scoop, began mocking Baldwin over the accidental firing on the set of his film “Rust” in 2021, which resulted in the death of a woman.
The video, which has been widely shared on social media, shows Baldwin, 64, in a heated exchange with Scoop, who was dressed in a Trump costume. The two were at a comedy club in Los Angeles when the altercation took place.
In the video, Baldwin can be heard shouting at Scoop, “If this camera wasn’t here, I’d snap your f** neck in half.” The threat was issued in response to Scoop’s mocking of Baldwin over the Rust incident, which saw Baldwin accidentally fire a prop gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Scoop, who has been a comedian for over 20 years, had been performing as Trump at the comedy club and had been making jokes about the Rust incident. Baldwin, who was a guest at the club, took offense to the jokes and began arguing with Scoop.
The argument quickly escalated, with Baldwin shouting at Scoop and telling him to “get out of my face.” Scoop, however, refused to back down and continued to make jokes about the Rust incident, which further enraged Baldwin.
At one point, Baldwin can be heard saying, “You’re not funny, you’re not funny. You’re a total jerk.” Scoop, meanwhile, continued to mock Baldwin, saying, “I’m not funny, I’m just Trump.”
The incident has sparked outrage on social media, with many calling out Baldwin for his aggressive behavior. “Alec Baldwin is a menace,” tweeted one user. “He’s always been a hothead, but this is a new low.”
Others, however, have come to Baldwin’s defense, saying that he was simply reacting to Scoop’s provocative behavior. “Alec Baldwin was just defending himself against a guy who was making fun of him over a tragedy,” tweeted another user. “Give the guy a break.”
The Rust incident, which occurred in October 2021, was a devastating tragedy that left the film industry reeling. Hutchins, a 42-year-old cinematographer, was killed when Baldwin accidentally fired a prop gun that was supposed to be loaded with blanks. The incident sparked a massive investigation, and Baldwin was later cleared of any wrongdoing.
Despite the clearing, the incident has had a lasting impact on Baldwin’s career, and many have called for him to be held accountable for his actions. The latest video, however, has only added fuel to the fire, with many calling for Baldwin to apologize for his behavior.
In a statement, Baldwin’s representatives said, “Alec Baldwin is a passionate and intense person who sometimes reacts impulsively. However, he regrets his behavior in this incident and hopes to put the matter behind him.”
Scoop, meanwhile, has said that he was “shaken” by the encounter and plans to take a break from comedy. “I’m just glad that no one was hurt,” he said in a statement. “I’m going to take some time to reflect on my actions and see if I can learn from this experience.”
The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of staying calm and composed, even in the face of provocation. While Baldwin’s behavior was certainly unacceptable, it’s also important to remember that he was reacting to a perceived slight and was not acting in a premeditated manner.
As the dust settles on this latest controversy, it’s clear that both Baldwin and Scoop have learned a valuable lesson about the importance of staying calm and respectful, even in the heat of the moment.
