The woman, who also accused Baldwin of escaping jail time for the death of Halyna Hutchins, was relentless in her pursuit to have Baldwin publicly declare "Free Palestine."
The woman's initial confrontation with Baldwin revolved around the tragic death of Halyna Hutchins, a cinematographer who lost her life on the set of the movie 'Rust.' She accused Baldwin, saying, '"Why did you kill that lady? You killed that lady and got no jail time." Baldwin, who is currently facing involuntary manslaughter charges in relation to Hutchins' death, has pleaded not guilty. The trial is set to commence in July. Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer responsible for the firearms on the set, has already been convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to 18 months.

However, the woman's accusations quickly shifted to political demands. She insisted Baldwin vocalize support for Palestine, promising to leave him alone if he complied. "I'll leave you alone, I swear, just say free Palestine one time," she urged. Despite her persistence, Baldwin refused to comply and requested the coffee shop staff to call the police.

Carolla advised the woman to "Get a life," and Ali criticized her approach, stating, "This isn’t activism; it’s just gross behavior targeting someone who has no policy-making power and hasn’t even been outspoken on the situation in Israel/Gaza."
