CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Alec Baldwin didn’t have to pay anything to resolve
a $25 million lawsuit filed by family members of a Marine killed in
Afghanistan after the actor chastised them on social media over the
Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, Baldwin’s attorney
said.
U.S. Southern District of New York Judge Edgardo Ramos in August
dismissed the lawsuit sought by the wife and sisters of Lance Cpl.
Rylee McCollum, of Jackson, Wyoming, When the McCollum family didn’t
file an amended lawsuit as Ramos invited to do before a September
deadline, the judge closed the case in October.
Baldwin paid nothing to resolve the case, his attorney Luke Nikas
said Wednesday in an email to The Associated Press.
The case has seen no activity since, according to court documents.
Lawyers for both sides, including McCollum family attorney Dennis
Postiglione, did not comment further on the case when contacted by
email Thursday. Reached by email Wednesday, Postiglione declined to
comment and said the McCollum family would not comment.
Rylee McCollum and 12 other Marines were killed in a suicide bombing
at the Kabul airport in the last days of the U.S. war in Afghanistan
in 2021. Baldwin sent the family a $5,000 check to help in the
aftermath.
The lawsuit, filed initially in Wyoming and then New York, alleged
Baldwin exposed the family to a flood of social media hatred in 2022
by claiming on Instagram that Roice McCollum was an
“insurrectionist” for attending former President Donald Trump’s Jan.
6, 2021, rally in Washington, D.C., that preceded the insurrection
that day.
Roice McCollum protested peacefully and legally, was not among those
who stormed the U.S. Capitol, and never was arrested or charged
after being interviewed by the FBI, according to the lawsuit.
Even so, she was a “limited public figure” under the law by talking
about her brother’s death in the news media and by engaging with
Baldwin, a well-known celebrity, on social media, Ramos ruled in
dismissing the lawsuit.
To prove her case as a limited public figure, McCollum needed to
show that Baldwin acted with malice toward her. She did not, so
Baldwin’s comments were protected under his free-speech rights,
Ramos ruled.
The lawsuit was filed as Baldwin faced legal peril for the death of
a cinematographer on a New Mexico movie set in 2021. Baldwin was
pointing a gun when it went off, killing Halyna Hutchins and
wounding director Joel Souza.
Special prosecutors initially dismissed an involuntary manslaughter
charge against Baldwin but now seek to recharge the actor after
presenting new information to a grand jury.
Baldwin will get his due.
He was hitting on that woman begging her for pussy and she shut him
down.
To keep her quiet, he killed her.
