After McCollum's death, a GoFundMe account was started for his widow Jiennah McCollum "and her soon-to-be-born daughter," the suit says. When Baldwin saw Roice's post ahead of the one-year anniversary, he began to message her on Instagram, according to the lawsuit. She responded to Baldwin, according to the suit, that, "Protesting is perfectly legal in the country and I've already had my sit down with the FBI. "I offered to send her sister-in-law [Jiennah McCollum] some $ as a tribute to her late brother, his widow and their child. Hours after Baldwin's post, Lance's other sister, Cheyenne, and his widow, Jiennah, began receiving "hateful messages and even death threats," according to the suit.
