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.
Scoop Claims Hilaria Baldwin ‘Chased’ Him After Heated Exchange
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.”
Baldwin Explodes Over ‘Rust’ Shooting Remarks

Dressed as President Trump, Scoop mocked Baldwin’s role in the Rust shooting, offering him a “total pardon” if he agreed to kiss his ring.
“Alec, it’s your favorite president,” Scoop said in character. “I will offer you a total pardon for murdering that woman if you kiss the ring.”
Baldwin initially ignored the impersonator’s jabs, but as Scoop continued to push—claiming Hutchins was “smiling down” on him for confronting her “killer”—the actor lost his temper.
“Look at me. I want you to look at me,” Baldwin said, stepping into Scoop’s face.
“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***ing neck in half and break your f***ing neck right here. You know that, don’t you?’”
Baldwin then told Scoop to leave, threatening to shove his camera “up his a**” if he didn’t.

Scoop later admitted that he feared Baldwin might actually attack him.
“At one point I definitely thought he was going to physically hit me. 100%," he said.
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.
Baldwin’s PTSD and Legal Fallout from ‘Rust’ Tragedy
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.
