Hilaria Baldwin is facing backlash on social media after she snapped at her husband, Alec Baldwin, during a red carpet interview at the Planet Hollywood Times Square opening party in New York City. The couple was discussing their TLC series, The Baldwins when the exchange occurred.
During the interview, when asked about the possibility of a Season 2, Alec jokingly responded, “The Hilaria Show.” Meanwhile, Hilaria stated they would wait to see how audiences received the show before making a decision.
As she continued speaking, Alec chimed in with praise, saying, “It’s gonna be great. You’re a winner.” However, Hilaria abruptly interrupted him, responding, “Oh my God. When I’m talking, you’re not talking. No. When I’m talking, you’re not talking.” Alec quickly apologized, but Hilaria turned to the camera laughing, adding, “This is why we’ll have to just cut him out of the show.”
Following this moment, Alec walked away while Hilaria continued the interview, an interaction that quickly went viral online.
Social Media Backlash
Many social media users criticized Hilaria’s behavior, calling it controlling and humiliating toward Alec. A viral post on X (formerly Twitter) described the exchange as “classic narcissistic control”, stating, “Alec was complimenting her, but she aggressively shut him down twice. He looked completely defeated.”
Another user commented, “Is this how she normally treats him? This was completely unnecessary.” One more post read, “While Alec Baldwin isn’t exactly a great person, no one deserves to be treated like this in public.”
Some compared Hilaria to other controversial public figures, with one saying, “She thinks she’s a celebrity on Meghan Markle’s level, but she’s not.” Others found her behavior shocking, with one person adding, “I would never speak to my spouse like this in public. It’s beyond disrespectful.”
Alec Baldwin’s Legal Battle
This controversy comes as Alec Baldwin remains in the public eye following his legal issues related to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie Rust. Baldwin was charged with involuntary manslaughter, but the case was dismissed in July last year due to prosecutors withholding evidence that could have supported his defense.
While Alec has been known for his strong personality in Hollywood, many were surprised by his subdued reaction to Hilaria’s comments. The viral debate continues, with some fans defending Hilaria as simply having a bold personality, while others argue that publicly correcting a spouse in such a way is inappropriate.
