Alec Baldwin’s Wife Admits to ‘Messing With’ Paparazzi

Alec Baldwin's wife Hilaria Baldwin has opened up about an incident with the paparazzi that occurred in 2024.

In a recent episode of the couple's new reality show The Baldwins, Hilaria explained that she had been trying to help "protect" her husband, who had been charged with involuntary manslaughter following the fatal 2021 shooting on the set of Rust.

“[The paparazzi are] all there, I got mobbed in the morning. It was just absolutely insane," Hilaria recalled. She decided to put on a mini-skirt and a pair of fishnet stalkings and head outside in an effort to keep photographers distracted.

"Alec needed to try to get in the car and to try to protect him, I went inside, put on a ridiculous outfit and went back outside," she explained. "I mean, the fact that they didn't realize that I was messing with them is extraordinary."

Hilaria said that once her husband was safely on his way, she went back inside their home.

"People call me an attention seeker, like they'll say all sorts of things because they don't understand what I'm doing, and so they think I'm nuts, and I'm like, you know what? Call me nuts, but you know what? I'm gonna take care of my husband and I'm gonna take care of my kids," she said.

The Baldwins has received fairly negative reviews, with Vulture calling the series "grimmer than you imagined" and The Guardian calling it "dreadful." The future of the show is uncertain, but Alec has joked that his kids "want more money" if the series gets picked up for another season, according to People.
