A Manhattan judge has thrown out part of a lawsuit filed by a man against actor Alec Baldwin over a parking-spot dispute, according to court documents.
The slander claim centered on comments Baldwin made in February on Ellen DeGeneres' show in which the actor said,"I thought he was going to run my wife over with his car when he was stealing my parking spot" and similar comments on Howard Stern's show in March, according to the documents.
The judge wrote in his order that Baldwin’s comments that Cieszkowski allegedly drove fast and aggressively did not rise to the level of accusing Cieszkowski of a serious crime. "They constitute every day words used to describe driving by the public," Cohen wrote. He also said that Baldwin's claims that Cieszkowski drove fast and almost hit his wife were hyperbole, and that being impolite was not the same as accusing someone of recklessness.
Baldwin was arrested after the incident for allegedly roughing up Cieskowski and was initially booked on suspicion of misdemeanor third-degree assault and harassment.to a harassment violation, the lowest level of offense, and agreed to complete a one-day anger management class.and claimed that he invented the story that the actor"violently punched" him. Baldwin admits to shoving Cieszkowski twice but has denied he ever punched him.
