Baldwin's remarks -- including claims that Wojciech Cieszkowski's driving was "really fast," "really aggressive" and made the actor think his wife and son were about to be run over -- were "hyperbole" and "rhetorical illustrations," Manhattan judge David B. Cohen wrote Thursday.
He tossed out Cieszkowski's slander claim, but his assault and battery allegations can proceed toward trial. A message seeking comment was sent to Cieszkowski's attorneys.The Emmy Award-winning actor pleaded guilty to harassment in the November 2018 confrontation. He went on to file a defamation suit of his own against Cieszkowski, a contractor.
Baldwin initially faced a misdemeanour attempted assault charge, but it was dropped. Harassment is a violation, the lowest level of offence . "Did I have an argument with the guy? Yeah. I thought he was going to run over my wife with his car when he was stealing my parking spot," he said on "Ellen."
