- Baldwin, 63, is also currently under investigation after shooting and killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his film Rust in October
- Rylee McCollum, 20, was one of the 13 military members who died in the bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul
- McCollum's sister, Roice, has previously spoken out against President Joe Biden for saying he showed 'total disregard to the loss of our Marine'
- After McCollum's death, Baldwin reached out to Roice on Instagram and sent her a check for $5,000 for Jiennah Crayton, McCollum's widow
- Earlier this month, however, McCollum posted a photo on Instagram showing her at the Washington Monument on January 6, the day of the Capitol riot
- 'When I sent the $ for your late brother, out of real respect for his service to this country, I didn't know you were a Jan 6 rioter,' Baldwin allegedly said to her
- Roice said that she soon received 'hostile, aggressive, hateful' messages after Baldwin posted her photo to his own Instagram account
- The McCollumn sisters and Jiennah Crayton are seeking $25million in damages for defamation, invasion of privacy and negligence
