Hollywood star Alec Baldwin, who has been embroiled in a number of lawsuits over the last two years, including&nbsp;the deadly shooting incident on his film set that resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, has been accused of losing his temper and "yelling" at a waitress at a star-studded gala in New York.

If a report by Page Six is to be believed, the 65-year-old actor was seen "scolding" a young waitress at the 2023 PEN America Spring Literary Gala as she served dinner to the guests. An unnamed&nbsp;source told the publication that the server was shocked to see the star's alleged behaviour.&nbsp;

The drama reportedly began when Baldwin stood up to chat with another guest a couple of minutes before "the line of servers came all at once to deliver the meals". The waitress, said to be in her late 20s or early 30s, got&nbsp;stuck behind Alec for a few minutes.&nbsp;"Then, when she could pass, she started putting plates on the table. I guess he didn't like that she did that with him standing there," the source told the publication.&nbsp;

The source further suggested, "I'm guessing he felt it was rude of her to start putting plates down while he was standing there."

After the incident, the server reportedly told someone on the staff, "I don't know why he yelled at me."

Alec attended the glitzy event with his wife Hilaria Baldwin and while they posed up a storm together on the red carpet, it's said she wasn't there to witness him "yelling".

This was the couple's first red carpet outing since Alec's Rust&nbsp;shooting charges were dismissed last month. The couple&nbsp;was seen holding hands as they posed for the cameras at the event, which was held at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

The star-studded event was hosted by Colin Jost and it honoured SNL&nbsp;legend Lorne Michaels. Salman Rushdie made a surprise appearance at the event. This was his first public appearance since he was severely attacked while on stage at a literary event in New York in August 2022.

Alec Baldwin accused of 'yelling' at waitress for 'doing her job' at NY gala

On Friday, Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin filed a negligence lawsuit against the armourer and three crew members of 'Rust' over the shocking&nbsp;killing of&nbsp;cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the Western film.

Filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court,&nbsp;Baldwin's suit is a photo and email-heavy cross-complaint for negligence and indemnification that names&nbsp;armourer Hannah Gutierrez Reed,&nbsp;first assistant director David Halls, property master&nbsp;Sarah Zachry, and weapons &amp; rounds supplier Seth Kenney and his company as defendants.

All four were also named as defendants along with Baldwin in the original lawsuit filed by a script supervisor who claimed the shooting caused her severe emotional distress.

Several other litigations have stemmed&nbsp;from the tragedy that occurred on the sets of 'Rust' on October&nbsp;21, 2021, which is also under criminal investigation and could result in New Mexico state charges.

Attorneys for Gutierrez-Reed, Halls and Kenney have not yet&nbsp;responded to requests for statements in their clients' defence.&nbsp;

Baldwin's cross-complaint&nbsp;seeks damages, which are to be determined at trial, for the "immense grief" he endured due to the incident and the losses he faced.&nbsp;The suit was filed by Luke Nikas, an attorney for Baldwin who works with the firm Quinn Emanuel.

"This tragedy happened because live bullets were delivered to the set and loaded into the gun, Gutierrez-Reed failed to check the bullets or the gun carefully, Halls failed to check the gun carefully and yet announced the gun was safe before handing it to Baldwin, and Zachry failed to disclose that Gutierrez-Reed had been acting recklessly off sets and was a safety risk to those around her," Baldwin's cross-complaint stated.

For the uninitiated, Hutchins was killed when a revolver assigned to Baldwin for rehearsal&nbsp;fired a live round that hit her and movie director Joel Souza during the 'Rust' film shooting in New Mexico.

In an interview, Baldwin maintained that he did not pull the trigger of the Colt .45 revolver and it fired after he cocked it. Meanwhile, an FBI forensic test of the single-action revolver found that it "functioned normally" and would not fire without the trigger being pulled.
