A tense moment occurred between Alec Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria, during a discussion about their reality series, The Baldwins, at a public event. The couple, known for the show that features them and their seven children, were speaking with the media at the reopening of Planet Hollywood in New York City.
In an interaction with Extra, the 66-year-old actor and his 41-year-old wife were questioned about the possibility of a second season for their recently premiered show, The Baldwins. The series delves into the impact of the tragic Rust shooting incident on the Baldwin family.
A TikTok clip captured part of the red carpet conversation where the interviewer inquired about a potential new season. Hilaria paused to consider her response, prompting Alec to playfully suggest “The Hilaria Show” before she explained they were evaluating the reception of the current season.
As Hilaria attempted to continue, Alec interjected with words of encouragement, leading to a brief exchange where she expressed frustration at his interruption. Despite the awkward moment, she emphasized the authenticity and risks taken in the show, hinting at potential audience reactions.
Viewers reacted to Hilaria’s interaction with Alec, expressing surprise and criticism in online comments. Some viewers felt her response was disrespectful, while others expressed disappointment in her behavior towards her husband.
The show, which airs on TLC in the US and is available on Discovery+ in the UK, was filmed both before and after Alec’s legal troubles related to the Rust incident. Despite the case against him being dropped, Alec faced a civil lawsuit from the family of the deceased cinematographer, ultimately reaching a financial settlement in March 2023.
Throughout the ordeal, Alec maintained his innocence, stressing that the gun discharged accidentally and that he did not intentionally fire it. The series sheds light on the personal challenges and changes experienced by the Baldwins in the aftermath of the tragic event.
Hilaria shared emotional moments on the show, including fears expressed by her children about their safety amid the legal proceedings. The couple’s candid discussions on the show provide insight into the impact of the incident on their family life.
“The Baldwins” is available for streaming every Monday on Discovery+.
