Alec Baldwin, known for his fiery temper, has once again sparked controversy after a video surfaced showing him slapping away an artist’s phone at a coffee shop near his New York City home. The incident occurred when Crackhead Barney approached Baldwin, demanding that he declare “free Palestine” and bringing up the fatal “Rust” shooting in which Baldwin accidentally killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
