The family of a U.S. Marine killed in a suicide bombing in Afghanistan is suing Alec Baldwin for allegedly mislabeling his sister as a participant in the Capitol riot Jan. 6, 2021.
Baldwin is named in a lawsuit seeking $25 million and alleging defamation, invasion of privacy, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The lawsuit stems from a post that Baldwin shared on Instagram earlier this month after he gave $5,000 to the widow of a fallen soldier to help her with their newborn daughter. Marine Lance Cpl. Rylee J. McCollum was killed Aug. 26 in Kabul in a suicide bombing as he was processing refugees amid the United States’ controversial withdrawal from the country.
When the actor heard of McCollum’s story, he reached out to McCollumn's sister, Roice, and gave her $5,000 to give to her brother’s widow. He later called the check a "tribute to a fallen soldier."
According to the lawsuit, Roice was among the protestors who showed up to the march. However, the court documents reveal that she did not take part in the rioting nor any unlawful activity. Roice was interviewed by the FBI and cleared of any wrongdoing.
Despite never being charged with any crime, ... Baldwin labels her a "rioter. Your activities resulted in the unlawful destruction of government property, the death of a law enforcement officer, an assault on the certification of the presidential election." Baldwin went on to call Roice an "insurrectionist" to his 2.4 million Instagram followers in a since-deleted post.
Roice and her family say they were inundated with hateful comments shortly after the post went public. The court documents offer examples of some of those comments, the most disturbing from someone who said, "Get raped and die, worthless c--- [kiss emoji]. Your brother got what he deserved."

He’s not worth that much:

Of course the accountants have been busy moving his money since the shooting.
This goes a long way to explain Bang Bang Baldwin’s militant advocacy for gun control. Also before COVID he was an anti vaxxer, like quite a few other overpaid mannequins, claiming childhood vaccines cause autism.
