A rep for Baldwin did not immediately return PEOPLE’s request for comment about the remarks. The actor, 60, has denied that he “punched anyone over a parking spot.”
“Normally, I would not comment on something as egregiously misstated as today’s story. However, the assertion that I punched anyone over a parking spot is false,” BaldwintweetedFriday evening. “I wanted to go on the record stating as much. I realize that it has become a sport to tag people was many negative charges and defaming allegations as possible for the purposes of clickbait entertainment.”
In a follow-up message, Baldwinwrote, “Fortunately, no matter how reverberating the echos [sic], it doesn’t make the statements true.”
