REALITY TV'Most Unthinkable Tragedy': Alec and Hilaria Baldwin Get Emotional While Discussing 'Rust' Shooting in New TLC Show
'The Baldwins' will premiere on February 23.
Alec Baldwin became visibly emotional while talking about the tragic Rust shooting with wife Hilaria Baldwin in the first sneak peek of their new TLC reality series.
"A son lost his mom in the most unthinkable tragedy," Hilaria, 41, says in the preview. "This is never something to forget, and we're trying to parent through it."
Alec and Hilaria Baldwin have seven kids together.
Later, Alec can be seen covering his face with his hands as he appears to struggle to hold back tears in a confessional.
"Honestly, from the bottom of my soul, I don't know where I'd be if I didn't have you and these kids," Alec tells his wife in another clip.
Alec Baldwin got emotional while discussing the 'Rust' shooting from October 2021.
As OK! previously reported, in October 2021, a prop gun the 30 Rock actor had been holding abruptly discharged, resulting in the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The director, Joel Souza, was also injured in the shooting, but was quickly released from the hospital.
Following the incident, the 66-year-old claimed he did not pull the trigger and that he had no idea there was a bullet in the chamber. He was later charged with involuntary manslaughter. Although the charges were eventually dropped, the It's Complicated star was in and out of court for more than two years as he fought the allegations.
