Alec Baldwin’s Daughter Defends Travis Scott After Astroworld Tragedy – Hollywood Life



Ireland Baldwin previously stuck up for her dad Alec after the ‘Rust’ shooting, and now she’s telling fans not to blame Travis Scott for the tragedy that left 8 people dead at his concert.

Ireland Baldwin has weighed in on the deadly crowd surge at Travis Scott‘s Nov. 5 Astroworld festival, which resulted in eight deaths and hundreds of injuries. The 26-year-old daughter of Alec Baldwin defended the rapper, 30, in a since-deleted post on her Instagram Stories on Saturday (Nov. 6), and compared the backlash Travis is getting after the tragedy to the criticism her father received following the accidental shooting that killed one person on the set of his movie Rust. “Y’all are really killing me these days. You believe everything that you see on Twitter and TikTok and completely bandwagon on spreading misinformation,” Ireland began her message, which can be read HERE.

Everyone should feel safe when they are going to enjoy live music.But it’s not Travis Scott’s fault. Any musician would validate that you can’t see or hear anyone up there. Especially when wearing in-ear monitors.”
Ireland went on to encourage those criticizing both Alec and Travis to “do a little research before you go spewing cancel culture bulls**t.” She added, “People lost their children at this who and you’ve got say is that Travis Scott’s music is demonic and be belongs in prison? Jesus.” In another post, Ireland acknowledged that Travis “incites the rage” at his concerts. “No doubt about that,” she said. “But I refuse to fall into this twisted cancel culture bullsh*t when it’s coming from people who have no idea how anything works.”

As of Nov. 8, three lawsuits have been filed on behalf of people injured at Astroworld. Travis has been named in all of the lawsuits, one of which alleges that the rapper has a history of inciting crowds to ignore security and rush the stage. Travis apologized after the incident and said he was “absolutely devastated” by the horrors that took place at his show. He also offered “total support” to the Houston PD as they investigate what exactly happened.
