‘Alec and Hilaria Baldwin Against the World,’

By on • ( Leave a comment )
He’s the New York actor as well known for his fights with the paparazzi as for 30 Rock and Beetlejuice. She’s the faux-Spanish momfluencer more famous for her seven little Baldwinitos than for her career as a yoga teacher. When Alec Baldwin was charged with involuntary manslaughter in the fatal Rust shooting earlier this year, New York’s Reeves Wiedeman embarked on a quest to figure out the deal with this family that just can’t escape controversy. He consumed everything available about Alec and his wife, Hilaria — the seemingly endless social media posts and Instagram videos and podcasts by them and the books and articles and Reddit threads about them — and talked to friends and former colleagues to understand their state of mind. What he found was the story of a marriage with typical modern problems (phone addiction, financial anxiety) but amplified. It’s a juicy deep dive, analyzing a couple who appear to be as devoted to each other as they are to posting through bad press.
