Hilaria Baldwin recently shared her concerns about her family’s safety during her husband Alec Baldwin’s high-profile trial. She confessed to writing letters to her children as a precaution in case of any unfortunate events during the trial period. This came after Alec had expressed suicidal thoughts following the tragic on-set shooting incident involving a prop gun that resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injury to director Joel Souza.
After the incident on October 21, 2021, where Alec accidentally fired the prop gun during a rehearsal at a ranch in New Mexico, he faced charges of involuntary manslaughter in 2022. However, these charges were dropped in 2023 due to new evidence. In a recent episode of their reality TV show “The Baldwins,” the couple returned home after the case dismissal. Hilaria disclosed that she had prepared letters for their children in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
Despite the legal resolution, Alec faced a civil lawsuit from Hutchins’ family, ultimately reaching a financial settlement with them in March 2023. Alec was criticized for not ensuring the safety of the gun before its use on set. He maintained his innocence, claiming the gun discharged accidentally without him pulling the trigger. Hilaria revealed receiving distressing text messages from Alec post the Rust tragedy, shedding light on his struggles with survivor’s guilt and its impact on his mental and physical health.
In their reality series “The Baldwins,” Alec and Hilaria navigate the aftermath of the tragic set accident that occurred four years ago, leading to Alec’s trial for involuntary manslaughter. The series offers viewers a glimpse into their family life and parenting journey with their seven children.
