Alec Baldwin, currently involved in a high-profile involuntary manslaughter trial, faces heavy criticism for launching a family-focused reality show with his wife, Hilaria. Industry experts condemn the couple's seemingly carefree attitude amidst the serious legal proceedings, calling it a "terrible PR blunder." Despite being at the center of a somber trial, the Baldwins have been spotted shopping, dining out, and promoting themselves on social media, drawing backlash for their insensitivity. Legal representatives for the late cinematographer's family accuse Baldwin of a calculated PR move to sway the jury or gain sympathy. With the reality show set to premiere in 2025, producers plan to incorporate Baldwin's legal troubles into the storyline, regardless of the trial's outcome. The actor, potentially facing jail time if found guilty, could further damage his reputation with his nonchalant behavior.
