Sean Penn Got Into Fight With Actress Over Support of Hugo Chavez

Sean Penn and his former co-star Maria Conchita Alonso got into a heated fight at LAX airport on Sunday after the actress, who was born in Cuba and raised in Venezuela, confronted Penn about his open support for Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.

In a radio interview with WMAL in Washington on Monday, Alonso recounted the showdown, explaining that all the animosity she felt towards Penn for supporting the leftist dictator exploded when she saw him in LAX’s lost baggage area.

Alonso, who condemned Penn’s support for Chavez in an open letter last year, said when she approached the actor in the airport, he told her, “I don’t wanna talk to you. You speak badly about me.”

The actress responded, “I just say the truth… That you are a friend of Chavez and that he’s a good man. And that’s a lie… How can you do that?”

Alonso said she then accused Penn of supporting Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, which he denied before calling her, “a pig,” to which she retorted, “And you are a Communist, Sean Penn.”

From there, the argument escalated, and Alonso admitted she called Penn a “Communist a**hole” in front of a crowd of approximately 60 people who had gathered around them in the airport.

The actress said she regrets calling Penn, who played her lover in the 1988 movie Colors, an “a**hole,” but holds, “I’m not apologizing for calling him a Communist, because that’s what he is.”

Check out the audio of Alonso’s interview below.

    wow what a misleading headline. He didn’t get into a fight. This b*tch confronted him and slammed him. Sounds like he was pretty subdued, particularly for him.

    Sean Penn is the very definition of a useful idiot for these Communist dictators. He deserves to be publicly shamed. It sounds like the conversation was civil until he called Ms. Alonso a “pig”. Evidently he couldn’t defend his position so of course he resorted to calling her names. He should have shut his mouth and listened to someone who knows far more about life in this area than a pampered privileged actor like himself ever could.

    If being 100% right makes her a b*tch then so be it. Why don’t you move to Venezuela and see for yourself?

    Penn is a grade A Dbag.

    Like too many Hollywood stars…Penn has been courted by the far left.

    I don’t usually comment on anything, but since I’m was born in Venezuela and has lived there my whole life (I’m 21) I know even I would like to exchange some words with Mr. Penn. What’s funny to me is it’s SO easy to “support” Chavez and ALL he does and say all is good and he’s a good man and doing wonderful things over here but STILL live in the USA not having to worry about being robbed in your OWN house, or the corner, or at your University…It’s very sad because the Venezuelan people are being mocked and offended by all these people who applaud what Chavez says and does, while in the meantime there are hundreds, thousands of people living in poverty, being killed….When you don’t know the REALITY of a country, then you should just shut up and move on, and obviously Mr. Penn knows a thing about our reality

    Good for her! I’ve long thought that someone with life experience that knows what they are speaking about should put Sean Penn in his place! He is an over-privelidged, left-wing nutcase that has no idea what he’s talking about.

  • Melissa

    I wish more people would blast this asshole. He’s worthless, uniformed, and needs a reality check in so many areas. Good for her.

    Good for her. Douche bag Penn’s father, Leo, was blacklisted as a communist. So, it’s safe to say that Mr. Penn’s communist leanings are ingrained in him from his commie scumbag dad. And Chavez is a close ally with Ahmadinejad, including allowing Hezbollah and the Revolutionary Guard to set up terror training camps in Venezuela. Sean Penn is the definition of a useful idiot. Funny how these Hollyweird leftist support ideologies (Marxism, socialism) that are anathema to their plush, opulent lifestyles. I guess having tens of millions of dollars so distorts their minds to the average day struggles of us ‘common folk’ that they actually think they can identify with and address it, while shouting self pretentious drivel from their Beverly Hills ivory towers. In summary: Fuck you, Sean, you American hating piece of sewer filth!

    I fully agree-she came unto him with all this vent up ‘political’ frustrations. Yes, make your headline read to the contrary and build this up to an asinine story. For two to have opinions suffice, however, Ms. Alonso, according to the story, approached first and with insults. By the way, I do share some of their sentiments-first with Ms. Alonso fear for security and an open government (Chavez) since, his policies are a bit scary (as with the press and news organization shut downs-a precursor for a charismatic dictator) and the rich and poor disparities of wealth (i.e., closer to our own injustice-99% movement.) Lastly, they both reside in the good ol’ USA-one less than the other.

    Bien dicho, Sofía. Solo latinoamérica entiende lo que tenemos que padecer con gente como Chávez, Evo Morales, Kristina aquí en Argentina…
