My God is this woman bloody tone deaf, stupid or such a narcissist that she really doesn’t care? Posting pics on Instagram of her and Alec dressed up for Halloween with their kids, with a little sob story about how “parenting through this has been intense.”
By all means let your kids celebrate Halloween but have some bloody sensitivity and awareness! Posting on social media, for the world to see, just days after your husband shot and killed a woman; a wife and mother.
Halyna’s son won’t be celebrating Halloween.

@Tagcurious

I am going to go completely against the grain here and speak up for Hilaria. She and Alec both looked completely traumatised in that clip and she is doing everything she can to support him and her children. Dressing up for Halloween is a big thing in the US and the children would have been looking forward to it so good for them trying to keep things normal. My biggest praise for her though is when she went crazy at the paparazzi who couldn’t remember Halyna’s name. Good for her.
I doubt anyone has a problem with them keeping things as normal for the children. What they do have a problem with is posting it all over Instagram, without a thought for a grieving father and son.

She's utterly batshit.

It would be very sad if he lost everything considering it was an accident, one that he has to live with for the rest of his life which will no doubt be punishment enough.

BorderlineHappy · 01/11/2021 15:57

Didn't she have a baby and then their surrogate gave birth to their next baby 6 months later?

No his mistress had a baby and they are bring the child up.So i heard.

Yeah, I was thinking as a producer he could be in trouble, also given the fact there were multiple H&S issues on set and the unions were getting involved before the fatal shooting.

Suspect there will be some major law suits coming out from this that will be potentially financially ruinous. Not just from the victim's family, but from other members of the film crew for the other issues. Also investors and film distributors who will suffer financial losses from the film may also sue.

As a producer/actor he may never get Insurance again so could be difficult to find work.

Tagcurious · 01/11/2021 16:03

@drpet49 I think I would be traumatised if my DH accidentally shot someone and he was having a breakdown because of it.
I’m not an Instagram user myself but if that’s the way they document their family life, then so be it.
A woman has died and you are using her death to troll another woman. I think it’s shameful.

Dixiechickonhols · 01/11/2021 16:03

Unbelievable. You’d think they would have had professional advice re media in aftermath particularly as he may face charges. She may have ignored and gone against it but he’s in photo. She’s still going with the Spanish *baldwinitos’ The surrogacy to have a child when you have several young children including a baby is alarming too and shows how unregulated it is - have cash can buy a baby.

Tagcurious · 01/11/2021 16:04

They’ve had a a lot of advice in how to deal with this situation. They stopped and talked to the press because the press were following their car in a pack and frightening their children.

Vanishun · 01/11/2021 16:05

Wow that's tone deaf. By all means keep things going for your kids but stay off Instagram for a while, it's not hard! How stupid can you be?

Tokyotammy · 01/11/2021 16:05

Plus all the legal costs he's going to need to cover will be huge.

No wonder they both look stressed to the max. Disapproval of IG posts are probably the last thing they are worried about right now.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 01/11/2021 16:10

I also thought her end comment "they were so happy and that warmed my mama heart” was pretty crass in the circumstances.

LadyEloise1 · 01/11/2021 16:11

She doesn't need to go on Instagram with the children in Halloween costumes.
Totally insensitive.
By all means let the children dress up but don't publicise it.
Isn't there anyone that will tell her ?
Her parents ?
Siblings ?
Alec ?
A friend?
PR company?

Well done her though for calling out the reporter who didn't know the victim's name.

Cactu · 01/11/2021 16:17

I think he is culpable. He’s the producer of the film and he’s hired people with little experience and/or complaints about their safety record on previous films to manage the guns on set. There were complaints made about safety on this film before the accident. If the producer isn’t responsible for these issues then who is?

MarshmallowSwede · 01/11/2021 16:17

Well social media is for narcissists. It gives them 24 hour access to supply to feed their constant need for attention.

GraceandFrankie · 01/11/2021 16:20

She’s the one who pretended she was Spanish, that she moved to the US when she was 18 or similar, spoke with a fake Spanish accent, claimed her family is so Spanish they couldn’t actually pronounce “Baldwin” and even claimed to forget certain English words, when actually she’s called Hilary, her parents are white American and they simply holidayed in Spain when she was a kid.

Is it therefore surprising that she is incredibly insensitive and tone deaf when there’s a chance she’ll miss out on an Instagram post?

AmyDudley · 01/11/2021 16:24

She's every kind of bat shit, the Spanish crap, and now this. Beyond insensitive and shows she completely lacks empathy, I can't imagine Alec is getting much emotional support from her as he must be life changingly devastated.
That said I think the onus of making sure a firearm is safe lies with the last person to handle it, when something is deadly you can;t assume everyone else has done their job, you have to know for yourself.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 01/11/2021 16:27

Nonsense. Firstly, criticising someone for tone-deaf behaviour is not trolling. Secondly, OP isn't 'using' Halyna's death for any purpose.

You seem far more concerned about the hypothetical upset this thread could cause HB (who is almost certainly oblivious to it) than about the very real distress Halyna's family are suffering right now. They don't need to read about HB's 'mama heart' and parenting struggles atm.

fluoropostit · 01/11/2021 16:27

Do some people (and this is celebs and some people in real life) just feel a bit like if it’s not shared on insta, did it really even happen? Even the pic before where she’s telling him she’s there for him - why, with such an incredibly sensitive and awful situation, would you even think of doing it on insta?

Tagcurious · 01/11/2021 16:34

@JesusInTheCabbageVan The thread title is Hilaria Baldwin, but apparently I am the only person not allowed to talk about her. You should be ashamed of yourselves. You know nothing about these people. How can a pp say she isn’t supporting her husband? You are just trolling her.

LondonWolf · 01/11/2021 16:40

I think she’s a total narc who is terrified that this is going to impinge on the “perfect world” she’s created and she wants everyone to move on asap.

Noeuf · 01/11/2021 16:42

The interview was ridiculous and completely ill advised. He’s very keen to get across how helpful he is to the bereaved family which is weird. Speaking for how devastated they are.
She’s overexcited and clearly delusional re the Spanish heritage lie. The photos are appalling - share with family but not online.
As a producer I don’t see how anyone can say yet he’s not responsible for anything, we don’t know this.

What? Of course you're allowed to talk about her! And I'm allowed to disagree with you. That's how debate works.

Dixiechickonhols · 01/11/2021 16:43

There’s no pause for breath. She had a first trimester miscarriage 2019, pg again immediately second miscarriage (girl) pregnant immediately again and had a boy but sometime during that pregnancy (presumably after test or scan revealed he’s a boy) has a baby girl via surrogate who is 6 months younger than boy. Says because the children wanted a girl and she’d told them they were getting a sister. Now appears to be trying to imply they are twins - two high chairs posted when girl was far too young for one. All very odd.

Tagcurious · 01/11/2021 16:46

@JesusInTheCabbageVan you don’t accuse anyone else of not talking about Halyna. Only me. Because I am not jumping on the pile on to slag off Hilaria. That’s so hypocritical.
Also, where’s the criticism for Alex Baldwin dressing up and being on an Instagram post? Fancy being such woman haters and not even knowing it. If you don’t like how she parents or presents herself and her family, why not try being quiet? Especially at a time like this.

Actil · 01/11/2021 16:52

She's a huge attention seeker, regardless of how negative it is. The posts, her actions, all so completely tone deaf.
