Actress Confronts Sean Penn Over His Support for Chavez: ‘You Are a Communist Assholeo!’

Actress Maria Conchita Alonso  confronts Sean Penn Over His Support for Chavez: ‘You Are a Communist Asshole!’

Cuban-born, Venezuelan-raised actress Maria Conchita Alonso and actor Sean Penn had a contentious exchange at Los Angeles International airport recently, in which Alonso called Penn a “communist a**hole“ and Penn called Alonso a ”pig.”




Over a year and a half after Alonso penned an open letter to Penn asking him why he supports socialist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, the two met up serendipitously (or not so) at LAX while both were waiting to claim lost luggage.

Alonso, who starred alongside Penn in the 1988 film “Colors,” described the exchange to Steve Malzberg on WMAL.




“The second time I called him a communist I said ‘You’re a communist a**hole,” Alonso elaborated. She claims that while she regrets using profanity she is not sorry for calling Penn a communist.



“I’m not apologizing for calling him a communist because that is what he is.”



WMAL adds:

Alonso‘s criticism of Penn stems from comments he made on HBO  where he painted Chavez in favorable terms for the nation’s work with aid in Haiti.



Alonso, who claimed the pair’s heated exchange caused a scene, added that she finds it “sad” because Penn is “an amazing actor.”
