Producer says Alec Baldwin knew actress Nikki Reed was underage in racy film
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Producer Dana Brunetti is speaking out against Alec Baldwin’s shocking claim printed in his new memoir, titled “Nevertheless.”
ALEC BALDWIN TO RELEASE PRESIDENT TRUMP PARODY MEMOIR
According to the 59-year-old actor, he didn’t know actress Nikki Reed was underage when they filmed a racy movie together in 2006, titled “Mini’s First Time.” The film depicts the now 28-year-old star playing a high school call girl who develops a love affair with a client: her stepfather, played by Baldwin.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}“I was 47, and it never occurred to me to ask how old Nikki Reed was,” wrote Baldwin in his book. “When I found out, just as we finished, that she was 17, I flipped out on the producers, who had told me something different.”

Brunettti quickly took to Twitter and responded to the allegations, hinting that Baldwin lied in his book. Both Baldwin and Reed have yet to comment on Brunetti’s claims. Since “Mini’s First Time,” Reed has found fame with the “Twilight’ film series, while Brunetti moved on to other films, like “The Social Network” and “Fifty Shades of Grey.”
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}(1) My first indie film was Mini's starring @AlecBaldwin who knew @NikkiReed_I_Am was 16 (not 17) and he didn't mind https://t.co/aZ3KyeIiyC

(2) in fact @NikkiReed_I_Am was 1 of 4 actresses @AlecBaldwin had approved and her being the only 1 of those 4 repped by HIS own agency CAA.

(3) the only time @AlecBaldwin ever yelled at me was on the phone and it was about one of the producers who worked with the financier.

(4) The films director @NickGuthe said "We liked the idea that b/c it meant we couldn't be pressured into shooting scenes w/nudity"

(5) continued... "which was a real issue with the subject matter and the rather unusual cast of character we were dealing with."

(6) but to @AlecBaldwin's benefit, he has been impersonating Trump a lot, so maybe there was a bit of method acting when writing his book?
— Dana Brunetti (@DanaBrunetti) April 5, 2017
(7) And I have just received 3 other message from crew and other producer stating that he knew how old @NikkiReed_I_Am was during filming.

(8) if @AlecBaldwin had simply said in his book he didn't know @NikkiReed_I_Am's age, I would let it go.

(9) however to say that when he found out after filming he yelled at the producers (I being 1 on the film) makes it out to seem we did wrong
— Dana Brunetti (@DanaBrunetti) April 5, 2017
(10) So to summarize, @AlecBaldwin knew NikkiReed_I_Am was 16, didn't find out AFTER filming, and did not yell at us.

(11) UNLESS @AlecBaldwin saw @KevinSpacey some event after and yelled at him?? Though that would be wrong too, because again, Alec knew.
