The Donald Trump impersonator who taunted Alec Baldwin over the 2021 “Rust” shooting alleged that the actor’s wife, Hilaria Baldwin, “chased” him and tried to grab his phone following the stunt.
The incident was recorded by the comic troll, whose real name is Jason Scoop, and went viral after he posted it Monday on his social media. In the video, Scoop, dressed as Trump, taunted Alec outside of their New York City home as he unloaded luggage from the trunk of an SUV.
What the clip didn’t show, according to Scoop, was the moment that Hilaria, 41, allegedly chased him “around the block” in heels and tried to grab his phone.
“She lunged for my phone,” Scoop, who is a Trump fan, told TMZ in an interview on Tuesday.
“I yelled at my cameraman. I said, ‘Get this! Get this!'” Scoop recounted but said the person didn’t get the alleged moment on tape. “I was a little disappointed with him. He missed that opportunity.”
Reps for Alec and Hilaria did not immediately respond to The Post’s requests for comment.
Scoop, who also mocked Hilaria over her accent and her weight, continued, “[She] was chasing me down the street in high heels trying to grab my phone.”
The alleged chase occurred after Scoop, impersonating Trump, mockingly offered Alec “a total pardon for murdering that woman,” referring to cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The filmmaker was accidentally shot and killed in October 2021 after a prop gun Alec was holding went off during a rehearsal on the set of the Western film “Rust.”
The “30 Rock” alum, who has always maintained that he did not pull the trigger and did not know that the gun was loaded with live bullets, went through a years-long legal battle over the shooting. Though charged with involuntary manslaughter, the case was ultimately dismissed in July 2024.
Alec has said that he still struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder from the tragedy.
After remaining silent for most of the encounter with Scoop, the incensed star threatened the impressionist’s life, telling him, “You got a camera on me here? You realize my kids live in this building? But I want you to know something. I want you to be real careful. If this camera wasn’t here, I’d snap your f–king neck in half and break your f–king neck right here. You know that, don’t you?”
“I want you to get out of here,” Alec also said, warning that he would “shove that camera up [Scoop’s] ass.”
Reflecting on the encounter during his interview with TMZ, Scoop said, “Beforehand, I was thinking, do I treat him with the kid gloves or do I go scorched earth? And I was really debating, but then I remembered, you know, how he mocked mercilessly, my man DJT from four years straight on ‘SNL,’ so I’m like, you know what, let’s go scorched earth. The people wanna see scorched earth.”
“You know, when I’m in character, Jason is gone, I’m Trump in that moment. I got three seconds,” Scoop added. “When I’m in character, when I’m improving, I can’t held accountable for what comes out of my mouth.”
The comic also said he “100%” thought Alec was going to hit him.
“I don’t want to admit this, but yes, I did get a little nervous,” he confessed. “I’m a human being. He’s a scary man.”
At the same time, when Alec threatened him, Scoop said half of his brain told him, “I got gold, baby!” while the other half was wondering, “Is he really gonna kill me?”
The “Departed” actor’s ire was reportedly roused by the danger posed to his kids.
Alec and Hilaria “take the privacy and security of their children very seriously, and there’s nothing more important to them than their family,” an insider told People on Tuesday.
“This comedian saw this as an opportunity to gain notoriety and waited outside of his apartment building for Alec to come home, and while Alec was unloading his bag started screaming in his face,” the source continued. “Alec asked him to leave multiple times. Did Alec lose his temper? Yes.”
“But would any parent have lost their temper when a stranger was screaming with their kids just a few feet away? Yes,” the insider added.
