Alec Baldwin tries to break young photographer’s arm

By Alexandra Heilbron on June 29, 2012 | 7 Comments


Alec Baldwin seems to have completely lost control. He threatened a young photographer who stands about a head shorter by grabbing his arm and telling him to “get out of here.” In the video, you can hear another man begging Alec to leave the young man alone, while the photographer who’s being assaulted tells Alec he’s breaking his arm. Alec orders him to “Shut the f*** up,” then calls him a “little girl.” Alec, by the way, was carrying a pink fuzzy stuffed animal at the time. The entire scene was captured on video by Splash News. According to TMZ, Alec is walking a fine line, because the recent incident in which he shoved and allegedly punched a New York Daily News photographer, is still under investigation by the New York City Police Department. Unless Alec wants to spend some time in jail, he’s going to have to get his temper and bully tactics under control.

    Regarding issues with the paparazzi, I will always side with the celebrity. No matter what. It’s not a cross to bear with fame, it’s a lecherous, stalking, disgusting part that the general public (and media and politicians) somehow seem to condone. It’s gone too far. It’s been over 10 years since Diane was killed in a paparazzi chase and things are no better today. Kick ass Alec.

    Being a fitness trainer, i’m custom to think in this way, but i can’t help but notice that Alec has lost a lot of weight, if his nutritionist has put him on a low carb diet, or a ketonic diet, those diets, because you basically can’t have more then 40 carbs in a day on them, make you very irritable, you tend to loose your cool very easily.

    Just saying, that might be the reason he’s been acting aggressive as of recently.

    The diet can be a factor, however, Alec has always had a short fuse.

    Diet yes and princess Diana was a blood sacrifice lets get the facts straight but I totally agree with Mary 100%!!!! Here’s what I say about celebs and BS paparazzi. Actors “Famous people” are just the same as me or you. Thier not Gods so why do we put them on such a high pedestal? It’s because the rolls they’ve played in there films or the music they make the sports they play or the kids of parents where they came from. We need to have respect for them and understand that they are working just like you and I and we should respect thier profession. Furthure more there should be a law passed publicly that going up to a “Famous” person with out their consent can get you fined for privacy and mauling an individual.  When an officer see’s a bombardment of people surrounding an individual that officer should take action and proceed to break up the crowd and by the individual’s reaction (famous person) the officer should issue fines or or arrest certain or un respectful fans etc. The fines should not be linked or caused by the famous person but they are done by how distraught the officer feels the famous person was and at low circumstances can be waved or dismissed by the individual (famous person). So if ever someone goes up to a celeb to ask a question or they are having a polite conversation fines will not be issued.  Finally the law should fine all who take pictures. Everyone and anyone attempting to take pictures of celebs will be fined, this includes hacking celebs computers, following them around taking pictures while the eat, sleep, etc etc, No more paparazzi’s is the bottom line! That being said celebs should also agree to do a promotions for thier new project they should do a “Meet and greet” signing etc to allow a time when anyone can take pictures and get an autograph All done by secure means giving the chance for fans to interact with their favorite celeb and be a part of their favorite sport/movie/album etc. It’s not fair that a famous person can’t walk in the park with thier kids and maybe a dog and enjoy LIFE all because he/she hit a home run or played Thor in the last movie with the fear that they might get MAULED!! . Unfair. The same goes for  Kids of celebs at school should be treated the same way and watched closely by the teachers and princables. This law should be in effect and I’m very surprised that “Famous” people didn’t all ban together to pass something like this. It could be good for anyone getting bombarded on the streets. 🙂 so I’m not in any way feeling sorry for the possible “Arm Break” I bet Alex is making a name for himself so these guys know to stay away from him. It’s to bad that it’s hurting his image.

    If a photographer is so close to Alec Baldwin that Alec Baldwin can almost break his arm the photographer is too close.

    @Chris So How would you handle it if someone took photos of you continually Without Your Permission?? So you wouldn’t get angry??? Didn’t You Read the article? He was Angry about his picture being taken, Duh! The news sources that I read – put it in such a way to make it seem, its the person’s fault for his picture(s) being taken; when he Wasn’t even taking a picture Against SomeOne Elses Wishes… Enough said already.

  7. Rita • July 3, 2012 @ 8:02 AM

    @Mary I Agree with you 1000% – and I will Always feel that way too. Hes Not taking his own picture, so how can Tribute say its his fault?? Lets put a camera in Their face and see What Their Reaction Would BE!!
