""#DonJr is a rancid piece of garbage," wrote Debra Messing, while Sophia Bush and Sunny Hostin also called him out.
Donald Trump Jr. has quietly pulled merchandise mocking the fatal accident involving Alec Baldwin from his store.
On Monday morning, the former President's son advertised on Instagram stories that he was selling "GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE ALEC BALDWIN KILLS PEOPLE" T-shirts on shopdonjr.com — for $27.99.
While he quickly pulled the link profiting from cinematographer Halyna Hutchins' death down, the 43-year-old has been ceaselessly making jokes about the incident, posting cruel memes and retweeting claims Baldwin was "100%" to blame, and suggestions his motives be investigated.
"For those who are out there doing the fake sanctimony about leaving Alec Baldwin alone let's all remember that Alec Baldwin would be the first person pissing on everyone's grave if the shoes were on the other foot," he captioned one of the posts. "Screw him!"

Trump Jr. was swiftly called out for his behavior by some in Hollywood, including Sophia Bush, Debra Messing and the women of "The View."
"I hope the Hutchins family sues the f--- out of the Trumps. This is DISGUSTING," tweeted Bush. "An accident in the workplace cost a woman her life, and the Trump clan is turning it into a sick joke for profit."
"These f---ing ghouls should be voted off the island (& by island, I mean the planet)," she added.
"#DonJr is a rancid piece of garbage," tweeted Messing. "A wife, mother & colleague DIED. How DARE YOU cash in on this unfathomable tragedy. You are a damaged, unloved person. I hope you receive the same amount of compassion if ever a tragedy befalls your family."

"It certainly wasn't intentional and there were all these ghouls that came out over the weekend, attacking [Baldwin]," said Sunny Hostin on "The View," calling out Trump Jr. and Lauren Boebert.
"A woman died here. A woman who was a mother, a wife, someone who was, they say, just wonderful at her craft. A cinematographer, just starting," she continued. "When you have people like that coming out, trying to, I don’t know, take some sort of opportunity and a shot at Alec Baldwin, I thought that that was pretty disgusting and despicable."
Trump Jr., however, wasn't the only one who didn't feel much sympathy for Baldwin.
In the wake of the terrible accident on the on the set of "Rust" last Thursday, Candace Owens also used the opportunity to attack the actor over his previous criticism of Donald Trump.
"Alec Baldwin spent 4 years dedicated to painting Donald Trump and his supporters as evil murderers," she tweeted Friday, per Yahoo.

View Story"What has happened to Alec would be an example of poetic justice if it weren't for the actual innocent people that were murdered by him. Pray for their families. So sad."
She deleted it, but only to walk back on her use of the word "murder":
"Will correct that last tweet to say Alec Baldwin *killed* someone— not murdered someone, as murder carries a different legal definition," she wrote.

Literally not one single thing that Alec Baldwin has said about Donald Trump and his supporters is going to age well.

Alec Baldwin was the producer of this film. Things are not looking good for him.

Halyna Hutchins' Husband Speaks Out After Her Death, Says He's Been In Contact with Alec Baldwin
View StoryOn Monday morning, Hutchins' friend and fellow filmmaker Rachel Mason appeared on CNN, hitting back at anyone branding Baldwin a "murderer."
"I don't think any person who was in that position as an actor -- no matter where the responsibility ends up lying -- he is so not responsible for this tragic, horrific nightmare of taking the life of my friend," she said. "I wanted him to know that I felt that really strongly. I know he's a decent human being and he feels terrible, obviously. I just really wanted him to hear that, we just had a call about that."
"I'm so grateful I was able to tell him that, because I don't want him burdened with that for the rest of his life. He's in a similar state of everyone else, in deep shock and sadness, feels terrible for the family," she continued. "I hate the way people communicate on the internet sometimes, immediately jumping to the conclusion that he's like a psycho murderer, things like that. Alec Baldwin's not a murderer, he's an actor and he was at the center of something horrible that should have never happened ever to anyone and film sets are gonna learn from this."
She concluded: "I think he wants to figure out as much as anybody else does what happened."
