The problem with Hollywood is they cower to blowhard bullies like @ABFalecbaldwin. He can't handle when someone like me stands up to him.

A mega Hollywood producer has accused the always awful actor and Trump impersonator Alec Baldwin of lying in a new memoir that hit bookshelves earlier this week:
Producer claims Alec Baldwin was aware Nikki Reed was underage when filming "Mini's First Time" https://t.co/hFoQ5Frb9y pic.twitter.com/ywbpol6dX8
— Los Angeles Times (@latimes) April 5, 2017
At issue is Baldwin’s recollection of the R-rated film, “Mini’s First Time,” a 2006 black comedy starring then 16-year-old Nikki Reed as Mini, who just happens to get into a sexual relationship with her step-father in the flick, Baldwin.
Creepy, right? Especially with all of the anti-Trump commentary from Baldwin.
Anyway, Baldwin claimed in the memoir that he had no idea Reed was 16 until after the film was shot. A claim called out by Dana Brunetti, one of the producers on the film (Baldwin called her 17 in the book):
(1) My first indie film was Mini's starring @AlecBaldwin who knew @NikkiReed_I_Am was 16 (not 17) and he didn't mind https://t.co/aZ3KyeIiyC

(2) in fact @NikkiReed_I_Am was 1 of 4 actresses @AlecBaldwin had approved and her being the only 1 of those 4 repped by HIS own agency CAA.

Baldwin said he was furious at the producers when he found out Reed’s age, which was disputed by Brunetti as well:
(3) the only time @AlecBaldwin ever yelled at me was on the phone and it was about one of the producers who worked with the financier.

According to Brunetti, they liked the idea of a 16-year-old girl filming sex scenes with a then 47-year-old Baldwin because then they wouldn’t be “pressured into shooting scenes w/nudity”:
(4) The films director @NickGuthe said "We liked the idea that b/c it meant we couldn't be pressured into shooting scenes w/nudity"
— Dana Brunetti (@DanaBrunetti) April 5, 2017
WTH. Did anyone step back at the time and say, “hey, maybe not use at 16-year-old girl at all?!”
(5) continued… "which was a real issue with the subject matter and the rather unusual cast of character we were dealing with."

Brunetti called out Baldwin for going after Trump when he has his own alleged skeletons:
(6) but to @AlecBaldwin's benefit, he has been impersonating Trump a lot, so maybe there was a bit of method acting when writing his book?
— Dana Brunetti (@DanaBrunetti) April 5, 2017
There are witnesses, he says:
(7) And I have just received 3 other message from crew and other producer stating that he knew how old @NikkiReed_I_Am was during filming.
— Dana Brunetti (@DanaBrunetti) April 5, 2017
(8) if @AlecBaldwin had simply said in his book he didn't know @NikkiReed_I_Am's age, I would let it go.
— Dana Brunetti (@DanaBrunetti) April 5, 2017
(9) however to say that when he found out after filming he yelled at the producers (I being 1 on the film) makes it out to seem we did wrong
— Dana Brunetti (@DanaBrunetti) April 5, 2017
(10) So to summarize, @AlecBaldwin knew NikkiReed_I_Am was 16, didn't find out AFTER filming, and did not yell at us.
— Dana Brunetti (@DanaBrunetti) April 5, 2017
(11) UNLESS @AlecBaldwin saw @KevinSpacey some event after and yelled at him?? Though that would be wrong too, because again, Alec knew.

Now here’s where it gets even worse for Hollywood. Baldwin fired back at Brunett asking the producer to produce the Screen Actors Guild waiver for “scenes involving physical contact with minors.”
Like the waiver would somehow magically make either one’s actions in casting and acting out sex scenes with a 16-year-old girl appropriate?
SAG rules require releases for scenes involving physical contact with minors. I take you have a copy of that?

Produce the union required release form and your problems are over.
For now.— HABFoundation (@ABFalecbaldwin) April 5, 2017
Dana, produce the releases, you Hollywood zombie, and you're all good
— HABFoundation (@ABFalecbaldwin) April 5, 2017
Also, u should make a movie of this.
Get @NickGuthe to direct.
Get those waivers signed, though!— HABFoundation (@ABFalecbaldwin) April 5, 2017
Guys, “waivers” don’t make this OK. At all.
As of the writing of this post, there’s been no comment on Twitter from Nikki Reed.
Here’s the creepy trailer:
