Alec Baldwin ‘called female server a ‘peasant as she walked away after run-in at NYC gala’

Alec Baldwin reportedly called a female server a “burp” when she walked away from him after meeting at Thursday night’s PEN America Literary Gala in NYC.

Last week, Page Six reported that the 65-year-old actor, who returned to the red carpet after all charges were dropped for the accidental shooting and murder of cameraman Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust, became frustrated when the server began delivering meals to a table while he stood chatting.

Now the female server has made new accusations to the publication about the actor’s behavior during the night – claiming he was “patronising” and “really excited” when she tried to do her job.

She said, “I’m a sweep leader, which means I basically tell the waiters when to put the plates down and we have to do it in a certain order.”

“I wanted to feed the head of the table, but that’s who he was talking to, so I go up to him and say, ‘I’m sorry sir, but we’ll have servers walk the tables here.’ a minute.”‘

She claims that Baldwin “asked patronisingly,” “So when would be a good time to talk to my friends?” — a response she “wasn’t expecting,” saying he was “really agitated” before saying, “Do I have to explain it to you?”

She said she didn’t want the situation to escalate, so she simply replied that he didn’t need to explain – to which she claimed he replied, “Well, step aside then.”

The server added, “After that, a lot of my co-workers came up to me and said, ‘Do you know what he said as you walked away?” I didn’t understand because I was focused on my work, but apparently he called me a farmer [and] was obviously angry that I kindly told him, “Excuse me.”‘

She called the star “bitter” and said other stars, including Colin Jost, were polite to her.

She added that she wasn’t afraid of getting in trouble over the incident, saying, “What can he say? I approached him kindly, I was actually doing my job.’

DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Alec Baldwin for comment.

This comes after a source told the publication last week that Baldwin allegedly “yelled” at the female server – leaving her “shocked and upset”, reported Page six.

The actor is said to have become frustrated when the waiter started delivering meals to a table while chatting with a fellow visitor.

That night: A source told the publication that the incident happened when Baldwin was chatting with someone “a few minutes before the whole line of servers came at once to deliver the meals” (pictured talking to John Mulaney on the night )

A source told the publication that the incident happened when Baldwin was chatting with someone “a few minutes before the entire line of servers came at once to deliver the meals.”

The server, said to be in her late 20s or early 30s, reportedly got stuck behind the actor as he chatted, with the source saying, “When she was able to come over, she started putting plates on the table.” I guess he didn’t like her doing that while he was standing there.’

The actor is said to have then started “calling her names” as the “visibly upset” server was heard saying to someone, “I don’t know why he yelled at me.”

The source they suspected Baldwin “thought the server was rude” for putting down signs while he stood, adding that his wife Hilaria was not present at the alleged incident and that the moment “went largely unnoticed.”

On Monday, Alec finally shed his beard as he celebrated his last day of filming for Rust — three weeks after all charges against him were dropped for the fatal shooting of Hutchins.

Baldwin shared a photo taken with Rust co-star Patrick Scott McDermott and wrote, “The last day on the set of RUST with this guy. A very talented actor and beautiful young man with a bright future ahead of him. My love for you, @patrickscottmcdermott.’

McDermott returned the love by responding with “Love you Alec” before posting a photo of the two embracing on set with the caption, “Alec’s last day [heart emoji] I’m going to miss you.’

Production came to an abrupt halt in October 2021 when Baldwin shot a live round with prop gun-killed cameraman Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust in New Mexico.

The Beetlejuice star was charged in January with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of Hutchins and the wounding of “Rust” director Joel Souza, who was hit by the same bullet that passed through Hutchins.

The case against Baldwin quickly unraveled. A weapons charge that would have meant a much longer sentence was dismissed and the first special prosecutor appointed to the case resigned.

This is despite a damning FBI report concluding that Baldwin did indeed pull the trigger on the gun that killed Hutchins – despite repeatedly claiming he didn’t.

The report could still lead to criminal charges against the actor and others involved in the accidental shooting, as the Santa Fe Police Department continues to investigate Hutchins’ death.

After the charges against him were dropped, Baldwin took to Instagram to thank his wife Hilaria for helping with the controversy.
