Alright, folks, gather around because Alec Baldwin is back in the headlines, and—surprise, surprise—it’s not for a new movie role. No, this time, the 66-year-old actor nearly threw hands (or at least threatened to) with a comedian on the streets of Manhattan. And the best part? It all went down right in front of his apartment, with cameras rolling. Classic Baldwin.
So, here’s what happened: Baldwin was unloading luggage from a vehicle when Jason Scoop, a comedian known for his Donald Trump impressions, spotted him.
Now, if you know anything about Baldwin, you know he’s had a complicated relationship with all things Trump-related (considering his long-running impression on “SNL”), so this was bound to be interesting. The two exchanged words, and before you could say “temper tantrum,” Baldwin was in full meltdown mode, threatening to snap Scoop’s “neck in half.”
And he didn’t stop there. Oh no. With the red light of a recording device staring him down, Baldwin leaned in and let Scoop know exactly how he felt. “If this camera wasn’t here, I’d snap your [expletive] neck in half and break your [expletive] neck right now. You know that, don’t you?” Yikes. The irony here is “chef’s kiss”—a man who made a career mocking Trump is now losing it on a Trump impersonator.
Of course, this isn’t the first time Baldwin’s temper has gotten the best of him. Just last April, he was caught on video smacking an anti-Israel protester’s phone in a coffee shop after she demanded he say, “Free Palestine.” And let’s not forget the “Rust” tragedy, where Baldwin was charged (and later had the charges dropped) in connection with the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The man’s legal troubles seem to follow him like a bad script.
NEW: Alec Baldwin threatens to “snap” the “f*cking neck” of a Trump impersonator in New York City.

Meanwhile, Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria—who’s still defending herself against accusations of faking a Spanish accent—are busy opening their home to TLC cameras for their new reality show, “The Baldwins.”
Yes, you read that right. Because after multiple street confrontations, a tragic shooting, and a history of public meltdowns, what better time to invite the world into your home?
At this point, Baldwin’s public outbursts are almost expected. But let’s be real—threatening to break someone’s neck while “on camera” is next-level unhinged.
Maybe it’s time for Alec to take a deep breath, step away from the drama, and let someone else make the headlines for a change. But then again, where’s the fun in that?
