January 1, Alec Baldwin’s daughter ‘triggered’ by Astroworld tragedy

Alec Baldwin’s daughter Ireland said she was “triggered” by the tragedy at rapper Travis Scott’s Astroworld concert in the wake of her father’s fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of the film Rust.

“Making baseless, misinformed claims and conspiracy theories all over the internet does nothing but [take] away from the facts and actually honoring those who are suffering due to this,” Ireland wrote on social media. “I was personally ‘triggered’ because of recent misinformation that spread from the tragic event that took place on my father’s movie set. And SO many people pretending like they have any idea how filmmaking and stunt coordination works.”

A crowd surge at the event left eight people, including a 14-year-old, dead and hundreds more injured.

According to Yahoo, the 26-year-old initially appeared to be defending Scott.

“Y’all are really killing me these days,” Ireland reportedly wrote in a now-expired Instagram Story. “You believe everything that you see on Twitter and TikTok and completely bandwagon on spreading misinformation. First, you were armory/stunt coordination pros when it came to the horrific tragedy involving my dad…and now Travis Scott is demonic because he ALLOWED people to die at his show?”

“I am in no way defending Travis Scott because, honestly, I don’t know him or care personally,” she later clarified. “and the only aspect of this I care about is that people died because this brand-new festival neglected to have the proper safety protocols in place.”

“He incites the rage. No doubt about that. But I refuse to fall into this twisted cancel culture bullshit when it’s coming from people who have no idea how anything works,” she added.

Ireland said she decided to speak on the subject after seeing TikTok posts claiming that Scott had planned the tragedy as part of a bizarre satanic ritual.
