Alec and Hilaria Baldwin reveal the reason why they decided to do a reality show after Rust set shooting
Alec and Hilaria Baldwin sat down for a cover story for People magazine, where they talked about why they wanted to their reality show The Baldwins.
Their new show comes over three years after Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed in an on-set shooting.
Production on the Western was paused in October 2021 when a prop gun being held by Baldwin, 66, discharged, killing Halyna, who was just 42, and injuring director Joel Souza, but the movie ultimately wrapped filming in May 2023.
The actor’s trial for involuntary manslaughter was thrown out in August 2024.
‘It was an opportunity for us to actually speak. It was a really safe space,’ Hilaria said, explaining why decided to do a reality show.
‘And I think it was also very cathartic, almost like a diary, during a very unsure time of our life. That felt both terrifying and like it could get us through day by day,’ she added.
