The family of a fallen Marine who was killed in evacuation operations in Afghanistan is suing Alec Baldwin for allegedly defaming them.
The McCollum family is accusing the Hollywood actor of sticking a social media mob on them. Three members of the family filed a new lawsuit on Friday, according to CNN.
Baldwin shared Roice McCollum’s Instagram photo of demonstrators at the Washington Monument to his 2.5 million Instagram followers one year after the chaotic Jan. 6, 2021, protest. McCollum had shared the photo on her personal account to commemorate the event’s anniversary, the Mercury News reported.
The Gold Star sister wasn’t even in the photo, according to the McCollum family lawsuit. This didn’t stop Baldwin from sharing her picture.
Baldwin had previously donated money to Jiennah McCollum, the widow of slain Marine Rylee J. McCollum.
According to the complaint, Baldwin went on to call the widow an “insurrectionist” in a comment on his Instagram post, even though Jiennah wasn’t even in Washington, D.C., during the Jan. 6 event.
The Hollywood elite took offense to a McCollum family member protesting peacefully in Washington D.C, and targeted Roice for a public shaming after a series of direct Instagram messages, according to the complaint.
“When I sent the $ for your late brother, out of real respect for his service to this country, I didn’t know you were a January 6th rioter,” Baldwin messaged Roice McCollum.
Baldwin donated $5,000 to a McCollum family GoFundMe campaign after Lance Corporal McCollum was killed in an Afghanistan suicide bombing in Aug. 2021, according to The Mercury News.

Family of Marine Killed in Afghanistan Files $25M Defamation Lawsuit against Alec Baldwin“Are you the same woman I sent the $ for your sister’s husband who was killed during the Afghanistan exit?” Baldwin wrote in a public comment to Roice.
“When I sent the $ for your late brother, out of real respect for his service to this country, I didn’t know you were a January 6th 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 wrote.
“I reposted your photo. Good luck.”
Does SmartAlec still jack around with loaded guns?
Has he been put on a watchlist in New York for shooting multiple people (killing one stone cold dead) with the dreaded firestick?
Did SmartAlec send money to ease his own guilt for killing an innocent person only to trash a dead veteran’s family in public?
Will SmartAlec have enough money left to pay the family of the Marine after the lawsuits collect on his shooting two people while jacking around with a loaded gun?
the sister will be on Judge Jeanine tomorrow night -
Babbling incoherently again, I see.
Should be the murderer Alec Baldwin.

“Truly charitable people help or donate anonymously”
Truly, 501c3 charitable contributions with follow up deductions on personal income taxes, don’t count either.
Truly, 501c3 churches are owned and enslaved by the system they voluntarily entered into contract with.
Bingo. Exactly what I thought. Precent was set in the Alex Jones case. Apply it here, Baldwin loses bigly.
