What is wrong with Alec Baldwin?
Just a few weeks shy of standing trial for manslaughter, Baldwin has announced he and his family will appear in a reality show.
Does he have lawyers? A publicist?
The Baldwin show will co-star his publicity hungry wife, Hilaria (real name Hilary) and their six or seven children. “The Baldwins” will run on the conscience-free TLC channel.
Baldwin is presumed innocent in the death of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. But the Santa Fe DA’s office is serious about nailing him, as they did Hannah Gutierrez, for involuntary manslaughter. If they win, Baldwin could get 18 months in prison — just like Gutierrez.
Certainly the news of the reality show will be known to jurors. The prosecutors will make it clear that Baldwin isn’t serious about the trial if he’s already booked this show. Couldn’t the announcement have waited until after Baldwin is exonerated? And if he’s not, will we get to see the kids visit him behind bars?
Hubris is a terrible disease. Stay tuned…
