Alec Baldwinis facing another lawsuit.
A lawyer for Baldwin didn’t immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Rylee McCollum, 20, was killed outside of Afghanistan’s international airport in an Aug. 26 bombing as U.S. military troops were processing evacuees to be flown out of the country following the Taliban takeover.
According to the complaint, earlier this month, Baldwin allegedly accused Roice of participating in the Jan. 6 capitol riots, calling her an “insurrectionist” and a “Jan. 6 rioter” in a private Instagram DM and reposting her photos of the demonstration to his Instagram account, telling Roice, “I reposted your photo. Good luck.”
Baldwin has since deleted the photos although Roice, her sister Cheyenne and Crayton say they have received harmful messages and death threats since Baldwin reposted. Neither Cheyenne nor Crayton was at the capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to the suit.
On Jan. 1,Roice shared a photo of herselfat the Capitol on Instagram, writing in the caption, “Throwback 😝🤘🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲.”

In the suit, she states she attended a protest at the Capitol on Jan. 6 but that she did not participate in the riots that followed the demonstration and has been cleared after an interview with the FBI, according to the court documents.
The complaint further alleges that underneath the photo Baldwin commented, “Are you the same woman that I sent the $ to for your sister’s husband who was killed during the Afghanistan exit.”
Since Baldwin shared Roice’s image on Instagram, she, Cheyenne and Crayton say in the lawsuit that they have received “hostile, aggressive, hateful” messages on social media.
This is the most recent lawsuit Baldwin faces after being at the center of the shooting on the film set ofRustthat took the life of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Last week, the actor turned over his cell phone to authorities as part of the ongoing investigation into the accidental shooting.
Aaron Dyer, Baldwin’s civil attorney at the Pillsbury, Winthrop, Shaw, Pittman, told PEOPLE in a statement Friday, “Alec voluntarily provided his phone to the authorities this morning so they can finish their investigation. But this matter isn’t about his phone, and there are no answers on his phone.”
“Alec did nothing wrong. It is clear that he was told it was a cold gun, and was following instructions when this tragic accident occurred,” he added. “The real question that needs to be answered ishow live rounds got on the setin the first place.”
