Alec Baldwin protects tweets amid scrutiny over his social media posts, including slamming his crew for safety complaints

Alec Baldwin took the unusual step for a public figure of protecting his Twitter account Tuesday amid growing criticism over his and his wife’s use of social media to comment on the fallout of the actor’s fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Baldwin’s Hilaria and Alec Baldwin Foundation account showed Tuesday that its tweets were now protected, potentially meaning that he and his wife can view and control who sees his tweets. Baldwin apparently changed the privacy setting around the same time he used his Instagram account Tuesday to hit back at reports that allege there were a number of safety concerns on the set of his Western film, “Rust,” prior to Hutchins’ Oct. 21 death.

Baldwin shared a lengthy, detailed Facebook message from “Rust” costume designer Terese Magpale Davis, who said she was “sick” of the narrative “being spun of us being overworked and surrounded by unsafe, chaotic conditions,” Yahoo reported.

Davis said those claims are “bull—-” and slammed crew members who walked off the set over safety and financial issues.

He’s going to talk himself right into prison.

And I’m going to laugh my ass off when it happens.

That’s half the battle. Now he needs to cover her mouth, and they’ll have it all in order!

Someone posted this story, but from a different source.
From my reading, Baldwin didn’t say anything, but “tweeted” what someone else said.

Baldwin and Biden have two things in common.
They are used to intimidating people until they get there way.
They both don’t know when to shut up.

Yea Baldwin is going to talk himself right into prison.

Oh dear. I’m certain there are no other sources that captured the rectal effluvia that constitute his “tweets.” Why, once he “protects” them, they are gone forever, yes indeedy.

Why did you point a gun at that person and pull the trigger?

“Why did you point a gun at that person and pull the trigger?”

That is the only relevant question. All else is distraction.

Have you noticed who has not said one word publicly about Alec and his ‘gun problems’? that would be Donald Trump.
I guarantee you, reporters have been asking him what he would say to Alec at this most disturbing time.
Mr. Trump is wise to stay out of it for now.
The media is already trying to create Sympathy for The Devil.
Alec will do just fine entrapping himself without any help.

The Idiot chick “Armorer” has Lawyers with a plan - Implicate the “Whistle Blower” who stomped off 2 hours before the incident as a “saboteur” who put a live round in one of the guns before he rage quit.

The Whistler blower is a shifty fat kid and a patsy right out of central casting.

Brilliant and NOBODY will be going to jail (unless the shifty fat kid ACTUALLY did put a live round in a gun).

Not protected from a subpoena should the DA feel the need to read his tweets.

I doubt the whistle blower did this. it's a plan that would be sure to be discovered by a competent crew. A person would be setting themselves up for a jail sentence over a failed plot. More than likely, this is an unfired live round from the plinking practice held earlier.

Another armorer on another broadcast said NO live rounds are allowed on any set he is the armorer of and he has the authority to stop production if he sees safety protocols being violated or has safety concerns.

Too many safety violations and too lax of an environment for a movie set.

Worfress Arec Barrwin has a 5th Amendment right to keep his fat mouth shut...but not the ability.

Obviously money doesn’t necessarily buy the best legal advice.

Any lawyer worth his salt would have told him to zip-it on social media.

But that’s just not acceptable to a narcissist.
