The master actor Alec Baldwin, known for The Departed, The Cooler and many famous movies, had a terrible incident in the movie ‘Rust’, which was shot in the US state of New Mexico in the past months. The 63-year-old Baldwin caused the death of cinematographer Halyna Hatchins and injured the director of the movie as a result of the explosion of the blank gun she was holding during the shooting of a scene, and was on the agenda all over the world.
Baldwin was very upset in his statements after the incident; He emphasized that it was not something that was done consciously. However, the pressures did not affect the famous actor very well; It even caused him to close his Twitter account. The investigation has continued since the incident happened. Now, the famous actor has been sued for another issue.
$25 million lawsuit
In the news, it was stated that a $25 million ‘ defamation and negligence’ lawsuit was filed against Baldwin. According to the statements, this lawsuit was filed by Roice McCollum, the sister of US soldier Rylee McCollum, who died in Afghanistan. It was also among the news that the case was filed with the allegation that Baldwin slandered McCollum, a military relative.
According to the lawsuit, Baldwin donated $5,000 to Roice McCollum, who was first fundraising for his older brother’s widowed pregnant wife. The veteran actor later saw a photo of McCollum taking part in the congressional raid that took place in the US capital, Washington on January 6, 2021, and used the following statements on Instagram: “I was unaware of this when I made a donation to you out of respect for your brother. I did not know that you were one of the rebels in the events of January 6th. ”
McCollum, on the other hand, joined the protest; however, he stressed that he made legal and peaceful movements. Baldwin, on the other hand, underlined that he did not agree with this, that the state property was damaged unlawfully and an official lost his life in the incidents. A lawsuit was filed against the 63-year-old actress because of her words accusing the woman of being a ‘rebel’. In addition, it was stated in the case file that the McCollum family started to receive death and threatening messages after Baldwin’s comments.
