A red carpet clash has intensified scrutiny on Alec and Hilaria Baldwin’s troubled marriage.
After narrowly avoiding manslaughter charges from the fatal Rust set shooting, the actor is now facing turmoil at home as rumors swirl his 13-year marriage to Hilaria is on the brink of collapse,
At the recent Planet Hollywood launch in Times Square, New York, the two were busy promoting their family reality show, The Baldwins, when tempers flared.
Hilaria sharply rebuked Alec for interrupting her during the interview, telling him on camera: “When I’m talking, you’re not talking.”
Alec, visibly embarrassed, quickly apologized as Hilaria repeated her warning. She then turned back to the interviewer and joked: “This is why we’ll just have to cut him out of the show.”
The video of the red-carpet argument quickly spread online.
Alec, who turns 67 this week, and Hilaria, 41, attempted to make a joke of the awkward interaction with an Instagram Reel.
The couple lip-synced the spat from bed with Hilaria calling it “manterrupting,” as Alec also joked he had “correctile dysfunction.”
However, the bit wasn’t too convincing – and some are saying the damage in their marriage has already been done.
One insider said: “Hilaria and Alec were warned a reality show would test their marriage and it’s clear the cracks are showing.
“She’s singlehandedly managed to turn one of Hollywood’s most notoriously arrogant hotheads into a bumbling downtrodden shell.
“There are definitely some big issues that are coming to the surface and no-one knows how long Alec’s going to continue with this level of humiliation. His ego won’t stand for it.”
Another insider told New Idea: “No-one’s buying it. The way Hilaria talked to him was plain rude. Everyone knows how ambitious Hilaria is.
“But it’s also hard to feel sorry for Alec, who has long had a reputation for being a hothead. It’s a shock to see him so under the thumb, but as many enemies as he’s made, it’s disturbing for Hollywood to see one of their own be controlled like this.”
Some entertainment insiders are even suggesting this might have been another publicity stunt to guarantee a second season of their new TLC reality show.
