Actor Alec Baldwin has made headlines once again, but this time it's not for his work in Hollywood. The 30 Rock star has been met with criticism after announcing a new reality TV series with his family on TLC. This comes at a difficult time for Baldwin, as he is currently facing charges of involuntary manslaughter for the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his film Rust in October 2021.
This isn't the first time Baldwin has faced legal trouble, as he has previously been charged and pleaded not guilty. If convicted, he could face up to 18 months in prison. As he prepares for his upcoming trial, the 66-year-old has decided to open the doors of his home for a new TLC program, featuring his wife Hilaria Baldwin and their seven children.
The couple, who have been married since 2012, shared the exciting news on Instagram, giving fans a glimpse into their chaotic family life. "We have an announcement to make," Hilaria, who was previously accused of faking being Spanish, began before being interrupted by her husband's concerned reaction. "Good God, no," she quickly replied, "No, definitely not! We're done having kids."
Alec then explained that the show will give viewers an inside look at their ups and downs, the good and the bad, and the wild and the crazy. "Home is the place we love to be most," he added, as footage of their children running around played in the background. The clip ended with the entire family joining in and shouting "we are the Baldwins!"
The premiere date for the show has not yet been confirmed, but it has already received backlash from potential viewers. Many have criticized the decision to give Alec a platform while he is facing such serious charges. Some have questioned the timing of the show, with one person writing, "Not sure if this is exactly what we need from him at this moment."
Others have expressed their disinterest in the show, with one person asking, "Literally who asked for this?" and another stating, "This is nothing the world needs."
In 2021, Alec was involved in a tragic incident on the set of his film Rust, where he accidentally shot and killed Halyna Hutchins. Director Joel Souza was also injured in the incident but was able to recover. Baldwin has maintained his innocence, stating that he was unaware that the weapon was loaded. He has since returned to complete the film with Souza.
Last January, he was charged with involuntary manslaughter and pleaded not guilty, but the charges were dismissed without prejudice a few months later. They were refiled at the beginning of this year, and his legal team has stated that they are looking forward to their day in court. In legal documents, Baldwin has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
While the show may give viewers a glimpse into the Baldwin family's life, it has stirred up controversy and raised questions about the actor's actions and responsibilities. As the trial approaches, it remains to be seen how this new development will affect the outcome.
