Actor Alec Baldwin is facing a potential trial for the fatal shooting on the ‘Rust’ movie set. Amidst this, he recently encountered a self-described ‘clown’ named Crackhead Barney who confronted him in a New York City coffee shop, demanding that he say ‘Free Palestine.’ Baldwin, initially ignoring her, eventually slapped her phone away. Many online expressed sympathy for Baldwin in this situation, even those who previously disliked him. Barney, known for her attention-grabbing antics, has been reluctant to reveal her true identity but describes herself as a ‘clown’ and not an activist.
