"Shut the f**k up": Alec Baldwin confronted by protesters
Alec Baldwin has been caught in the middle of a fiery protest in New York City, which ended in him yelling profanities to aggressive protesters.
The Hollywood actor was on his way to teach an acting class when he was surrounded by pro-Palestine protesters.
The protesters bombarded him with questions, demanding that he make known his stance on the war in Israel, and who he supports in the conflict.
Baldwin was being escorted by police, but found it difficult to ignore the calls of the protesters.
“I support peace for Gaza,” he told them.
Baldwin’s response only made the protesters more angry. They started to bellow profanities at him, and attempted to inch closer.
“Shut your f**king mouth, you have no f**king shame,” one person shouted at the actor, with another adding, “Go f**k yourself,” to which Baldwin said, "That's a stupid question..."
A source told HuffPost that Baldwin had no intention of getting involved in the protest, and did what he could to avoid any conflict.
“He had no intention of going to the protest and was not involved in any way,” the insider explained.
“He was approached aggressively and repeatedly. The police stepped in to avoid further confrontation so he could make his way to the class safely.”
In another video from the clash, protesters continued to ask his stance on the war, to which the actor responded, “Because I’m in Hollywood?”
“You ask stupid questions. Ask me a smart question.”
As he continued to be escorted out the crowd, the actor yelled, “Shut the f**k up.”
In response, another member of the public yelled back: “You did kill someone though, right? You’re a murderer!” in reference to the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
