The family of a fallen U.S. Marine filed a lawsuit against Alec Baldwin for $25 million for allegedly mislabeling his sister as a participant in the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.
Baldwin, 63, is named in the lawsuit that alleged he defamed the sister of U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Rylee J. McCollum, one of several soldiers who were killed during a suicide bomb attack in Afghanistan in August 2021. Baldwin initially reached out to McCollum’s sister, Roice, asking her to give a check for $5,000 to Rylee’s widow, according to court papers (pdf).
