Last week, we reported that Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria had gotten into a very uncomfortable exchange on a red carpet. Viral footage shows Hilaria snapping at Alec, telling him, “When I’m talking, you’re not talking.”
After, Baldwin was seemingly forced to take part in a hostage video, where he apologized.
Now, Hilaria is seemingly doubling down on this in a new interview despite the backlash.
Hilaria Doubles Down
While being interviewed on the Today show at the end of last week, Hilaria appeared to address the controversy indirectly by expressing her frustration at not being able to voice her own thoughts.
“Since I met Alec a lot of people have spoken for me, have taken my narrative,” said Hilaria, 41. “I don’t want that anymore.”
“This is an example for my children to hold your head up high and take control of your own narrative and we did it during a very vulnerable time,” she continued.
Hilaria and Alec, 66, are currently starring in their new TLC reality show The Baldwins. They are joined on the show by their seven young children. Together, they are parents to Carmen, 11, Rafael, 9, Leonardo, 8, Romeo, 6, Eduardo, 4, María, 4, and Ilaria, 2.
They filmed the reality series amidst Alec’s involuntary manslaughter trial over the 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his movie Rust. The charges against Alec were eventually dropped.
“Everyday is a process and everyday is staying together and being together,” Hilaria explained. “I think the way we’ve opened up on the show is really good answer to that. It takes courage and letting go [to be open].
“We’re a very close knit family and we spend a lot of time together,” she concluded. “That was true before and I think we are only closer afterwards.”

Hilaria Snaps At Alec
This comes days after video went viral of Alec and Hilaria on the red carpet at Planet Hollywood’s reopening in New York City on March 11. There, they were asked about the future of their family’s TLC reality television show The Baldwins. It didn’t take long for things to take a very awkward turn from there.
“It’s gonna be great,” Alec said. “You’re a winner.”
This was surprisingly enough to make Hilaria snap.
“Oh, my God,” she exclaimed. “When I’m talking, you’re not talking. No. When I’m talking, you’re not talking.”
Not stopping there, Hilaria went on to say that this was “why [she’d] have to just cut him out of the show.”

Alec’s Bizarre Apology For ‘Manterrupting’
Days later, Alec and Hilaria issued a bizarre video showing the two of them in bed together. In it, Alec apologized for “manterrupting” and admitted to having “correctile dysfunction.” Despite this, it was clear that Hilaria was the one dictating the terms of his apology.
The clip began with Alec and Hilaria lip syncing to the audio of the original red carpet spat. Alec did Hilaria’s part, while she did his. Once the audio ended, Hilaria took on a patronizing tone with her husband.
“And that is called — what’s the word of the day?” she asked Alec, who wearily replied, “manterrupting.”
Hilaria went on to say that the term could be “a positive, or a negative, or a [expletive].” Alec then shyly stated that it might be an example of “correctile dysfunction.”
“So, the whole point is that we interrupt each other all the time,” Hilaria told the camera as their seven children could be heard banging on their door. The video ended with Hilaria kissing Alec on the lips as one of their sons jumped into bed with them.
“Give me a kiss, just so you know I’m not [mad at you],” Hilaria said before kissing Alec.
“Oh, I’m so happy you kissed me,” Alec whispered when the kiss ended.
Yikes!
