Alec Baldwin Beats $25 Million Defamation Suit From Dead Marine’s ‘Insurrectionist’ Sister

Alec Baldwin has won dismissal of a $25 million defamation lawsuit filed by the relatives of a Marine killed in Afghanistan during the attack at the Kabul Airport last August.

The legal action, filed in federal court in Wyoming, noted the actor initially donated $5,000 to the family of Lance Cpl. Rylee J. McCollum 

but said Baldwin later publicly labeled McCollum’s sister an “insurrectionist” for attending the protest that turned into the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.

In the lawsuit filed Jan. 17, lawyers for McCollum’s sister Roice McCollum wrote that while their client had joined a “demonstration to protest what many people viewed

as the fraudulent election of Joseph Biden as President of the United States,” Roice herself acted in a “peaceful, law-abiding manner.”

They claimed Baldwin was in the wrong when he noticed Roice posted something on Instagram in early January 2022 to mark the one-year anniversary of the Jan. 

The actor denied any wrongdoing through his own legal representation and sought dismissal of the suit based on a jurisdictional error.
