Alec Baldwin Family Of Fallen Us Marine Refiles Defamation Lawsuit Against Actor

“While she was present at [January 6th] Royce did not participate in the demonstration, nor did she support or condone the riots that ensued,” the lawsuit states. “Baldwin clearly ignored Royce’s denial of rioting and the claim that she was cleared by the FBI of involvement in any of the actions. Baldwin chose to falsely credit her through his massive following.” At the time, Baldwin’s attorney, Luke Nikas, welcomed the decision. He said the lawsuit sought to “punish Mr. Baldwin for expressing his political opinion.” The refiled lawsuit also alleges that Baldwin’s comments resulted in severe emotional distress to the plaintiffs. “Mr. Baldwin donated several thousand dollars to Ms. McCollum to honor her husband and is now suing him for more because she disagrees with his political views on the January 6 riot at the US Capitol Building. We expect to prevail in this lawsuit, as we did the last time they filed it,” Nikas told CNN on Wednesday. Rylee McCollum, 20, was one of 13 US soldiers killed in an attack outside Kabul airport last August as the US and other Western countries scrambled to evacuate their civilians and allies from Afghanistan. After Rylee’s death, an online fundraiser was started on behalf of his widow, Jiennah, and her child. Baldwin sent Roice a $5,000 check to share with Jiennah as “a tribute to a fallen soldier,” the lawsuit states. However, the lawsuit states that after Roice posted the photos of protesters in Washington, DC on January 6, 2021 to her Instagram account on January 3, “in anticipation of the January 6, 2022, one-year anniversary of her presence” at the protest , Baldwin commented on Roice’s post, “Are you the same woman I sent the $ to for your sister’s husband who was killed on the way out of Afghanistan?” Royce “was never arrested, charged, or convicted of any crime related to her participation in the January 6, 2021 event in Washington, DC,” the lawsuit said. She replied to Baldwin, according to the lawsuit, that “Protesting is perfectly legal in the country and I’ve already sat down with the FBI. Thank you, have a great day!” Baldwin responded, the suit says, with: “I don’t think so. Your activities resulted in the illegal destruction of government property, the death of a law enforcement officer, an attack on the certification of a presidential election. I reposted your photo. Good luck.” “ About 20 minutes after Baldwin posted on Roice’s “Instagram feed,” she “began receiving hostile, aggressive, hateful messages from Baldwin’s followers,” the lawsuit states. Baldwin also posted a message on his own Instagram feed, which he later deleted, stating: “Many Trumpsters on here with the current cry that the attack on the Capitol was a protest, (a more peaceful form of which many other protesters were were imprisoned) and an exercise in democracy. That’s bulls—.” His post continued, according to screenshots included in the suit, “I did some research. I found, on IG, that this woman [Roice McCollum] he is the brother (sic) of one of the men who were killed “killed”, in Kabul, Afghanistan. “I offered to send her sister-in-law [Jiennah McCollum] some $ as tribute to her late brother, his widow and their child. Which I did. As a tribute to a fallen soldier. Then I find this. Truth is stranger than fiction,” his post added. Baldwin, the lawsuit states, “understood categorically that promoting Roice’s Instagram feed to 2.4 million like-minded followers and posting his comment would result in the onslaught of threats and hate that did.” Hours after Baldwin’s post, Lance’s other sister, Cheyenne, and his widow, Jiennah, began receiving “hateful messages and even death threats,” according to the lawsuit. “Neither Cheyenne nor Jiennah was in Washington, DC on January 6, 2021,” the lawsuit claims. Chloe Melas, Casey Hicks and Taylor Romine contributed to this report.
