    Alec Baldwin Sued for Defamation by Family of Marine Killed in Afghanistan

    Alec Baldwin is facing another lawsuit.

    The actor is being sued for defamation by the family of a Marine killed in Afghanistan claiming Baldwin, 63, falsely accused members of the family of being present at the Jan. 6 capitol riots in Washington, D.C. The family is now demanding a jury trial, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.


    Rylee McCollum, 20, was killed outside of Afghanistan's international airport in an Aug. 26 bombing as U.S. military troops were processing evacuees to be flown out of the country following the Taliban takeover.

    Following McCollum's death, Baldwin found one of the Marine's sisters, Roice, 22, on Instagram and sent her a $5,000 donation to go to McCollum's widow, Jiennah Crayton, and their baby, the court documents read


    According to the complaint, earlier this month, Baldwin allegedly accused Roice of participating in the Jan. 6 capitol riots, calling her an "insurrectionist" and a "Jan. 6 rioter" in a private Instagram DM and reposting her photos of the demonstration to his Instagram account, telling Roice, "I reposted your photo. Good luck."

    They call the actor's comments "false, outrageous, defamatory, irresponsible, vindictive" and allege that the backlash caused the three of them "severe emotional distress," according to the court documents.

    This is the most recent lawsuit Baldwin faces after being at the center of the shooting on the film set of Rust that took the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

    “Are you the same woman I sent the $ for your sister’s husband who was killed during the Afghanistan exit?” Baldwin reportedly wrote on Roice’s Instagram post from his account, according to the complaint.

    “When I sent the $ for your late brother, out of real respect for his service to this country, I didn’t know you were a January 6th rioter,” the “30 Rock” star reportedly wrote in a private message.





    Lots of hate on her message board. Truly despicable. She has broken no law.
