- Alexander dismissed critics of her post, suggesting they were part of a hasbara, an Israeli public relations operation.

- Alexander wrote on Wednesday: "They released the hasbara bot farm just like the first time when we asked people to boycott Bofa. Israel doesn't care about the woman who got killed, they care about the positive rating Bofa gave them in the middle of a genocide. There is huge money at stake."
Filmmaker Lexi Alexander has ignited a firestorm of criticism after she celebrated the death of Bank of America executive Piacenti, who was fatally stabbed in New York City’s Times Square. The incident occurred on Monday when a woman attacked Piacenti and another individual before being shot by police.
In her post on X, Alexander referenced Luigi Mangione, an accused assassin, alongside a meme that replaced the iconic bat signal with Mangione's face. Despite being labeled as containing 'sensitive content', the post remains visible on her account.
Alexander, known for directing films like "Green Street Hooligans" and "Punisher: War Zone", dismissed backlash from critics, claiming they were part of a 'hasbara' operation, a term used to describe Israeli public relations efforts. She stated, "Hasbara bots out in full swing just like the first time we asked people to boycott BofA", linking to an article about Bank of America's support for Israel.
In another post, she retweeted a comment from a user who expressed indifference towards Piacenti's death, claiming she received death threats from 'Zionists' as a result. Alexander further elaborated, "They released the hasbara bot farm just like the first time when we asked people to boycott Bofa. Israel doesn't care about the woman who got killed, they care about the positive rating Bofa gave them in the middle of a genocide. There is huge money at stake".
“Piacenti was in her first week back at Bank of America after five months of maternity leave. Alexander dismissed critics as 'hasbara' and retweeted a woman who said she 'didn't care' about the death, facing death threats from 'Zionists'.”
