alec baldwin him accusing him of falsely claiming the marine sister, royce mccollum, was a january 6th rider, which he says is absolutely not true. the lawsuit stems from a post that baldwin shared on instagram earlier this month. that is after he gave $5,000 to the widow of riley to help with their newborn daughter, but after baldwin discovered that mccallum s sister was pictured at the washington monument on january the 6th, baldwin rode to her, when i sent the money for your late brother out of real respect for his service to this country, i did not know you were a january 6th rider. royce mccollum then responded, protesting is perfectly legal in the country and i have already had my sit down with the fbi, thanks, have a nice day. baldwin then went on to repost the photo and call royce an insurrectionist, to his 2.4 million instagram followers, which prompted a wave of hateful comments.
