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."

. . .

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.

Why would he give $5,000 to someone he considered an insurrectionist?

I had to cut the following out due to FR excerpt requirements:

However, on Jan. 3, Roice shared a photo on Instagram that clearly gave Baldwin second thoughts about his tribute.

The image showed her at the Washington Monument on the day of the insurrection in 2021. According to the lawsuit, Roice was indeed among the protestors who showed up to the march. However, the court documents reveal that, while she was protesting the vote certification of Joe Biden that day, she did not take part in the rioting nor any unlawful activity.
