A server alleges that Alec Baldwin berated her when she politely asked him to clear an aisle so that her team of servers could serve food to people at the PEN gala.

Not only did Baldwin patronize her and refuse to budge, but as she was walking away, he called her "a peasant."

In a couple of days he'll be claiming this poor woman is his "friend." "I had dinner with her, just like I had dinner with that bitchy camerawoman who got what was coming to her!"

The woman -- who does not wish to be named -- tells Page Six the alleged incident began when the "30 Rock" alum was blocking the servers' path as dinner was starting to be served.

"I'm a sweep leader," she explains, "which means I basically tell the waiters when to put down the plates and we have to do it in a certain order."

"I was going to feed the head of the table but that's who he was talking to, so I go up to him and I say, 'I'm sorry sir, but we're going to have servers walking through the tables here in a minute.'"

She adds that she understood Baldwin, 65, wanted to schmooze with his pal but "me and my servers have a job to do."

She says the comment set the hot-headed actor off.

"So when is it a good time to talk to my friends?" she claims Baldwin patronizingly asked.

The server shares that she "did not expect that kind of reaction" and claims that he was clearly "very agitated" and even added, "Do I have to explain it to you?"

He meant: "Do I have to explain that I am important, and you and your peasant workers are simply not? Are you going to force me to explain this to you, peasant-girl?"

Not wanting to exacerbate the situation, she says she replied that he didn't need to explain it.

"Well then step aside," "The Departed" star allegedly said.

"Afterwards, many of my co-workers came up to me and said, 'Do you know what he said while you were walking away?' I didn't catch it because I was focused on my work but apparently he was calling me a peasant," she claims, and was "clearly mad that I told him kindly, 'Excuse me.'"

...

"What could he say?" she said. "I approached him nicely, I was basically doing my job."

Last week, a separate source alleged that the actor "was scolding" the server, adding that it was a "quick" interaction that went unnoticed by many.

Earlier in the evening, Baldwin put on a loved-up display with wife, Hilaria, 39 for their first red carpet appearance since his "Rust" shooting charges were dropped last month.

Baldwin's reps did not reply to our multiple attempts for comments on the alleged incident.

Alec Badlwin is like school on a Sunday: guilty of manslaughter.

This video of a woman melting down at an airport is something.

Megyn Kelly: Fox News warned Irena Briganti that she would be "fired" if she didn't stop leaking to her leftwing press frenz about Tucker Carlson. Megyn Kelly says that Fox executives told her she would be fired if she leaked after the New York Times published an article about leaked video in which he called some unknown woman possibly "yummy." The video almost certainly came from Fox.

She also says that a woman on the board of Fox, who has ties to Goldman Sachs and a Soros hedge management fund, is suspected of being involved in the leaking against Carlson.

Last week she pointed out that after Tucker Carlson's lawyer sent Fox a warning letter informing them they were breaching their contract by leaking against Carlson, the leaks to Media Matters and the New York Times suddenly stopped.

Remember when "Second Husband" Doug Emhoff and Jill Biden shared an open-mouthed kiss at the State of the Union? Making Joe Biden the first president to be cvcked on live television?

(No wonder David French is such a Biden super-fan.)

Well, Andrew Stiles has further updates.

What happened: First lady Dr. Jill Biden, Ed.D., shocked the world by making out with Vice President Kamala Harris's husband, Doug Emhoff, during her own husband's State of the Union address in February. Earlier this week, the political power couple was spotted leaving a SoulCycle class in Georgetown.

Why it matters: According to a Washington Free Beacon analysis, the only reason a straight man would ever go to a SoulCycle class with a female "friend" would be to stare at her butt. We noticed that Doug is walking behind Dr. Jill. Coincidence?

By the numbers: Emhoff is 22 years younger than President Joe Biden, and just 5 years older than Hunter Biden, who once described his stepmother, Dr. Jill, as a "selfish silly entitled c--t."

Crucial context: The Biden family has a long history of marital irregularity.

Nebraska Democrat absolutely melts down over our poor precious trannies.

I don't know whether it is an overstatement to suggest people with "gender dysphoria" have a mental illness, or whether there is a social contagion at work (like the anorexia epidemic among young women a couple decades ago that ultimately faded out to a large extent), but scenes like this state legislator in Nebraska aren't reassuring that there's a rational defense of the trans-phenomenon.

Two bills -- one banning abortion after 12 weeks, and one banning trans "care" for underaged children -- were merged into one bill, passed by the legislature, and sent to the governor for signature.

This is her reaction.

This bloated blue bratwurst needs a better, higher-powered vibrator.

The head coach of the WNBA team the Phoenix Mercury (so gay) is shocked that the venue wasn't sold-out for the return of Britney Griney, the dope-smoking scofflaw that Biden gave up a terrorist arms dealer to get back.

I'm shocked that she's shocked.

The Phoenix Mercury were on the road to start the 2023 WNBA season as the team took on the Los Angeles Sparks at the Crypto.com Arena in Brittney Griner's official return to the floor.

...

Because it was her return, Mercury head coach Vanessa Nygaard was expecting a much fuller arena.

"I mean, it was great. But like honestly, c'mon now LA. We didn't sell out the arena for BG?" Nygaard said. "Like, I expected more, you know, to be honest. Right, it was great, it was loud. But how was it not a sellout? How was it not a sellout?"

Because no one cares about the WNBA.

Here's my policy on men in women's sports: they're not allowed to compete in women's sports, period. Except -- I will allow them to play in the WNBA, just so it's not so cringe.

...

The arena could fit about 19,068 and about 10,396 people came to the game, according to ESPN. The Sparks' average attendance is more than 5,600. The team finished 13-23 last season and haven't been to the playoffs since the 2020 coronavirus-impacted season.

Video of the coach, here.

Karen Townsend writes about Kamala Harris, who is apparently now the WNBA Czar in addition to being the Border Czar and Artificial Intelligence Czar.

When Kamala and Doug met with Brittney and her wife in a small room off the locker rooms, she told her how wonderful she was before the detention. Remember, Griner was a political activist who refused to honor the national anthem before games, for example. She was vocal in anti-America rhetoric. Kamala called it courageous.

...

Kamala's speech in the locker room was, well, interesting, at a certain point. She wanted to compliment the team for supporting Griner during her imprisonment.

"You are some of the finest athletes in the world, and to do what you do every day shows that it is right to have ambition," she said. "It is right to have aspirations. It is right to work hard. It is right to compete when you know you have put everything into it; when you have trained, when you have discipline, when you have intelligence, and when you have brilliance."

She added, "It makes me so proud as Vice President of the United States to go around the world talking to folks about a variety of issues, and one of the subjects that does come up is the WNBA. [The world] is watching what you guys are doing, lifting up the excellence of the finest athletes in the world."

No one brings up the Phoenix Mercury in Phoenix, but Kamala wants to convince us they're Topic A all over the world? Shyeah.
