Yahoo Autos Hilaria Baldwin Calls Alec’s Manslaughter Charges ‘Emotional’—They ‘Would Crumble’ Without Their Fans’ Support
Her husband is facing serious criminal allegations but she’s trying to keep it together for the kids. Hilaria Baldwin responded to Alec’s involuntary manslaughter charges by begging the paparazzi to “let this all play out” while taking her children to school.
On January 19, 2023, Alec was charged with involuntary manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter in the commission of a lawful act for the accidental shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust in October 2021. She was killed shortly after a prop gun loaded with a live round misfired during rehearsals for a film Alec was working on as the lead actor and producer. “During the initial investigation, it was determined that actor/producer Alec Baldwin was the person that fired the weapon,” Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza said during a press conference.

Attorney Brian Panish, who represents the Hutchins family, told TMZ, “We want to thank the Santa Fe Sheriff and the District Attorney for concluding their thorough investigation and determining that charges for involuntary manslaughter are warranted for the killing of Halyna Hutchins with conscious disregard for human life.” Panish continued, “Our independent investigation also supports charges are warranted. It is [a] comfort to the family that, in New Mexico, no one is above the law. We support the charges.” Here’s how Hilaria is showing support for her husband.

On January 20, 2023, the day after news broke her husband would be charged for the accidental killing of Hutchins, Hilaria wore a green sweatshirt emblazoned with the word “Empathy”. Later that day, she confronted a mob of reporters who had swarmed her while she clutched the couple’s infant child. “I want you guys to realize we have seven kids and you being here to escort them to school and to be there when they come home is not good,” she said in a video published by AP to TikTok.
She continued: “So on a human level, you guys know I’m not going to say anything to you. You know that. So please, leave my family in peace and let this all play out, OK? Let me kids come home and stay away from them. Because they ask me, ‘Mommy, what are all these people doing?’ and that’s a very hard thing as a mom to try to explain. So please, go home because I’m not going to say anything.”
An anonymous source was quoted in US Weekly saying that the Baldwins are trying to stay positive but are disturbed by the very real possibility Alec could serve time behind bars, as one charge of involuntary manslaughter includes the use of a firearm, which carries a mandatory five-year prison sentence. “Alec is stunned and absolutely devastated,” the insider said. “He’s trying to stay strong, but it’s a real challenge for him as the scale of this decision sinks in.” The source continued: “The very thought of serving time in prison makes him and Hilaria sick to their stomachs. They can’t even imagine that scenario and are telling each other there’s no way on earth this can ultimately happen.”
While speaking on her Witches Anonymous podcast, Hilaria said it had been an “emotional” time for her and her family. “I do so want to express to you how grateful I am for your support and your kindness and your reason,” she said, addressing her fans. “Quite honestly, without it, we would crumble. So thank you so much for being our rock right now because I don’t feel so strong.”
