A comedian and Trump Impersonator has spoken out about a heated confrontation he had with Alec Baldwin and an alleged subsequent interaction with his wife, Hilaria.
Baldwin was caught on camera appearing to threaten TikTok star Jason Scoop outside his New York City home after the comedian taunted him about the fatal 2021 ‘Rust’ shooting — and now, Scoop claims Hilaria Baldwin "chased him down the street" after the cameras were off.
The viral exchange - which occurred over the weekend and was later shared to Scoop's social accounts - saw Baldwin threatening to “snap” Scoop’s neck after the comedian mocked the tragedy that left cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead.
But according to Scoop, the drama didn’t end there.
On Tuesday, Scoop alleged to TMZ that once the cameras were off, Hilaria ran after him in a failed attempt to grab his phone.
“The part nobody saw — because the camera was off — his wife chased me around the block after,” Scoop claimed. “I’m not kidding you.”
According to the impersonator, Hilaria tried to intervene in the altercation.
“She’s like, ‘Oh my god, what are you doing?’” Scoop recalled, adding that he immediately recognized her as “the cucumber lady” — a reference to an infamous clip where Hilaria claimed she forgot the English word for cucumber.
Scoop alleged that Hilaria “lunged” for his phone before chasing him in high heels, but said the moment wasn’t captured on video.
“I yelled at my cameraman… ‘Get this! Get this!’” he said. “And I was a little disappointed with him. He missed that opportunity, [which] might have been bigger than me and Alec.”
Before the alleged chase, Scoop ambushed Baldwin while the actor was unloading luggage from an SUV in front of his home.
Still, the comedian had no regrets about his viral stunt, saying he did it as “payback” for Baldwin’s long-running Trump impression on Saturday Night Live.
“I wanted to go scorched earth on him,” Scoop said.
The ‘Rust’ shooting — which killed 42-year-old Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza — has continued to follow Baldwin since the tragedy unfolded in October of 2021.
Although he was acquitted of involuntary manslaughter in 2024, the incident has deeply affected him. His wife, Hilaria, recently revealed that Baldwin has since been diagnosed with PTSD, admitting in their new TLC reality show: “He says in his darkest moments, ‘If an accident had to have happened this day, why am I still here? Why couldn’t it have been me?’”
Meanwhile, Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter earlier this month and sentenced to 18 months in prison.
