Alec Baldwin And Wife Hilaria Announce ‘The Baldwins’ Reality Show Ahead Of Involuntary Manslaughter Trial
As if completely devoid of any self-awareness or tact, disgraced actor Alec Baldwin has announced a new reality show starring himself and his family, just weeks before his involuntary manslaughter trial is set to begin.
“We’re inviting you into our home to experience the ups and downs; the good, the bad, the wild, and the crazy,” Baldwin says in the official announcement video shared to his Instagram.
He then adds, “Home is the place we love to be most,” to then conclude, “We are the Baldwins, and we’re going to TLC! God help you all.”
The official synopsis provided by TLC, Variety reports, reads, “Alec and Hilaria Baldwin have been making headlines since they were married nearly 12 years ago.”
“In this TLC follow-doc series, Alec and Hilaria invite viewers into the home they share with their seven growing kids. For the first time, they’re opening up their family lives and bringing everyone in to join in the nonstop love, laughter and drama,” it concludes.
The Baldwins doesn’t have an official release date yet, but the announcement video does hint that it could begin to air at some point in 2025 — that is, of course, if the actor is not found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for the killing of the Rust cinematographer.
Social media users were quick to weigh in on the news, making fun of the announcement given Baldwin’s current legal situation, including outspoken English broadcaster Piers Morgan who did not pull his punches when pointing out the actor’s hypocrisy.
“Alec is gonna shoot his shot at reality tv,” mocked @Brettdasovic.
Another user pointed out, “Kill a woman, get your own reality show! Gross.”
“When do they start shooting,” jokingly inquired @MattMcdiz.
“Are they going to give us lessons on how to be fake Spanish people,” wrote @mefbama mocking Baldwin’s wife Hilaria’s infamous allegedly fake Spanish heritage, shifting her focus back to the actor and adding, “and how to shoot people and get away with doing both?”
X user @scottgairdner derided, “The raw footage of this show has been pre-subpoenaed.”
“Of course TLC snatches up a psychopath incapable of personal accountability who gave a wife 30 years his junior Isish septuplets,” asserted @wrexweed. “That’s like three of their favorite things wrapped up in one.”
“‘Hey, all the s*t we’ve gone thru since I killed someone on the set of my movie would make a great reality show, right?'” @youreyeondenver writes, mocking what the conversation between Baldwin and his wife Hilaria that led to the idea to do a reality show could’ve looked like, adding, “‘Let’s pitch it!'”
“Who’s been hired as the weapons specialist on set?” jokingly inquired @SpottingWaldo.
“My god… the repulsive shamelessness of doing this when you’re facing a criminal trial for shooting a woman dead,” prefaced Piers Morgan, further asserting, “and when you constantly attack the media for invading your privacy,” pointing out Baldwin’s hypocrisy in agreeing to do a reality show when he is infamous for losing his temper whenever he is approached by the media.
Just a few weeks ago, New Mexico District Court Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer rejected Baldwin’s motion to dismiss his involuntary manslaughter charge for the killing of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Countering the actor’s claim that prosecutors had acted in “bad faith,” Sommer declared, “New Mexico law does not require a prosecutor to present exculpatory evidence to a grand jury, or require a grand jury to even consider exculpatory evidence after alerted to its existence.”
Baldwin’s trial is expected to begin on July 10th. Were he to be convicted, the actor faces up to 18 months in prison and could be required to pay a $5,000 fine. On April 15th, Rust armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to 18 months in prison.
