A lot of people are pretty upset about the recent return of Alec Baldwin to the screen. It's been a few months since his involuntary manslaughter trial was officially dismissed, and now he's back on Saturday Night Live. In July, the charges against him in relation to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust were dropped. The judge made the decision to dismiss the case with prejudice, citing misconduct from the police and prosecutors who had withheld important ammunition evidence from the defense.
After the ruling, Baldwin was visibly emotional, breaking down in tears and expressing his gratitude to those who had supported him during a difficult time. He thanked them, saying, "To all of you, you will never know how much I appreciate your kindness toward my family." But now, as he makes his return to Saturday Night Live, not everyone is happy about it.
During the latest episode, the 66-year-old actor played Fox News host Bret Baier in a sketch interviewing Maya Rudolph as Kamala Harris. However, viewers were furious about Baldwin's return to the show. Many took to social media to express their disappointment and anger. Twitter user @prenezisbell wrote, "Alec Baldwin shot and killed another human being. Forgetting the issue of his culpability, am I supposed to forget this and chuckle with delight at his narcissistic appearance on yuk-fest SNL? This is as tone-deaf as anything I've ever seen. Leave him in the wilderness."
Others echoed this sentiment, with @slowlanedad writing, "I hope SNL understands that this is extremely bad taste and absolutely NOBODY wants to see Alec Baldwin on tv EVER again." @Purple_Unicornz said, "SNL is sick for having Alec Baldwin on. What is wrong with them!?" Even @bookshelfbattle weighed in, saying, "Wow I can't believe SNL let Alec Baldwin back on the air. I hope he donates any proceeds from this appearance to the family of the woman he shot dead."
Unfortunately, this backlash against Baldwin doesn't end with his return to Saturday Night Live. The actor and his wife Hilaria have also faced immense criticism for announcing a new reality TV show featuring their seven children. This comes after Hilaria was previously accused of faking being Spanish. In June, before Baldwin's case had been dismissed, the couple announced the news on Instagram, with Hilaria joking that it had nothing to do with having another child.
The show, which has yet to confirm a release date, will give viewers a glimpse into the Baldwin household. In the announcement, Alec stated, "We're inviting you into our home to experience the ups and downs, the good, the bad, the wild and the crazy." He also shared footage of their energetic children running around, saying, "Home is the place we love to be most."
However, this news did not sit well with fans, with many vowing not to watch the show. It seems that the backlash against Baldwin is not going away anytime soon, with people continuing to express their disappointment and anger. As one Twitter user, @RobbieJ377, put it, "Kind of telling that Alec Baldwin is back on SNL tonight after committing the negligent killing of a woman. Dude should be in prison, but instead he's yucking it up on NBC." It's clear that the controversy surrounding Baldwin's actions is still very much a topic of discussion and debate.
