Crackhead Barney: How This Anti-Israel Protester Accosted Alec Baldwin And More To Become A Viral Sensation – News18

Actor Alec Baldwin got into a heated argument with “ambush interviewer” Crackhead Barney at a New York City coffee shop earlier this week which ended with the actor taking her phone and smacking it.

Crackhead Barney had accosted the 66-year-old actor inside an upscale cafe on University Place in Greenwich Village in New York City. The footage of the encounter was posted by Crackhead Barney herself. She was seen demanding that he declare “Free Palestine” as she filmed him.

“Alec, can you please say ‘Free Palestine’ one time?” she asked him several times. She also told him that if he said it once she would not bother the actor. She then chanted “F**k Israel, F**k Zionism” as Alec Baldwin shook his head and appeared to leave the cafe.

It is then Crackhead Barney said something related to Halyna Hutchins – the cinematographer who was killed on the set of Baldwin’s movie “Rust” when a prop gun the actor was using as part of the movie’s shooting wound up loaded with a live bullet – that Baldwin snapped.

““Why did you kill that lady? You killed that lady and got no jail time,” she said at one point.

Then Baldwin got her out of the restaurant and shut the door to prevent her from re-entering. While he was driving her out of the coffee shop, he kept holding on to her phone.

Crackhead Barney appeared unfazed by the incident. She told the actor to collaborate with him because they seemingly ‘broke the internet’ – an expression used to define an event that has gained massive popularity due to social media and the internet.

“Since white men LOVE ME and are OBSESSED with me! Alec Baldwin LETS collaborate we BROKE the internet!!,” she said in a tweet.

Who Is Crackhead Barney

Crackhead Barney describes herself as a satirical performance artist. When she accosted Baldwin she was wearing a children’s costume of the purple dinosaur TV character Barney, a bubblegum pink wig, with white body paint on her body and face.

Barney was born and raised in Jamaica, Queens, New York City, she told magazine Bowie in an interview earlier.

She is infamous for ambushing press conferences and once stormed into a press conference being hosted by New York City mayor Eric Adams and interrupted him mid-speech to ask: “Are you a dirty cop?”

Are you scared of a Black girl with powder on her tits? You can’t be scared of a Black girl with powder on her tits!” she asked another politician.

She is also seen sometimes donning a rubber mask resembling Donald Trump and is known for interviewing MAGA supporters.

During an interview on Fox News earlier this year, she responded negatively when asked if Joe Biden had her vote. “No he does not,” she said.

When the newscasters asked her who deserved her vote, she flashed her breasts on live television and said: “This does”.
