Trump Impersonator Who Trolled Alec Baldwin Called an ‘Abusive Monster’

Jason Szkup, 33—better known as Jason Scoop—recently caught attention for trolling Alec Baldwin. But new court records reveal a far more disturbing story. In December 2021, he pleaded guilty to domestic violence in Manhattan Criminal Court. The documents expose a violent pattern that has haunted his relationships.

On February 7, 2021, Szkup’s rage ignited when his then-girlfriend, comedian Keanu Thompson, received a text from another male comic. Szkup screamed, spat, and stomped on her right wrist until it broke. Two months later, Thompson filed a police report and secured an order of protection.

“He’s a violent, abusive monster,” Thompson said. “He’s disturbed and deranged and gets off on hitting women.”

Thompson isn’t the only victim. Another ex, known only as Alex, recalls a similar outburst in 2015.

“I got a text message, and he absolutely started flipping out,” Alex explained.
She described how Szkup punched her, threw her down, spat on her, and even stomped on her phone—cracking its screen. Alex provided photos and medical records that document her injuries. “That night, he held my apartment keys hostage,” she recalled. “I just wanted to move on.”

The comedy community has reacted swiftly. Five major New York clubs have barred Szkup from their stages. His viral stunts, including a provocative video with Alec Baldwin that racked up millions of views, have sparked outrage. Progressive voices in the arts condemn his behavior.
A domestic violence advocate noted,

“Domestic abuse is never acceptable. We must protect survivors and hold abusers accountable.”

Raised in Levittown, Long Island, Szkup once enjoyed early success on shows like “Dana Carvey’s First Impressions” and VH-1’s pilot “Nasty Women.” However, his aggressive outbursts offstage have now overshadowed his comedy. Victims warn,

“If it happened to me, it can happen to someone else.”

Szkup’s case shines a harsh light on a larger issue in the entertainment world. Abusers can hide behind a controversial persona, but justice is catching up. As the fight for safe spaces in the arts continues, survivors and advocates urge everyone to remain vigilant. Abuse has no place—on stage or off.
