This would not be the first time that Baldwin clashed with an anti-Israel/pro-Palestine protestor in recent months.
According to reports, the protestor was the same person who runs the “anti-fascist” Crackhead Barney & Friends account on social media. She is reportedly known for ambush interviews and goes by the moniker Crackhead Barney.
Several X users defended Baldwin after the video was uploaded to the platform on Monday night. They claimed that Baldwin was “repeatedly and viciously harassed” and that there was “no evidence” the anti-Israel protestor was “attacked” by the actor.
“The person filming this video was not ‘trying to get coffee,’” the X community wrote underneath Crackhead Barney’s video. “They repeatedly and viciously harassed Alec Baldwin and refused to leave the establishment when asked to by the staff.”
“There is also no evidence they were attacked.”
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, this would not be the first time that Baldwin clashed with an anti-Israel/pro-Palestine protestor in recent months.
A similar incident unfolded back in December 2023 when Baldwin was confronted as he walked through another pro-Palestine demonstration in Manhattan.
