Alec and Hilaria’s new reality show, The Baldwins, recently went on air. The show showcases the couple’s family life and how they deal with life’s ups and downs. Alec and Hilaria have seven kids and don’t want anymore. You must be thinking that nothing has been unconventional about the couple as of yet. Here comes the twist: the duo also talked in detail about the 2021 Rust accident.
The case is quite sensitive as a cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins, lost her life. As Alec was rehearsing for a scene, the prop gun fired and killed Hutchins. She was immediately rushed to the hospital but to no avail. Alec and Hilaria talked about the case and tried their best to portray themselves as the victims. This did not sit well with viewers and critics, and they harshly criticized them. Many also said that the duo are trying to whitewash their image via the show.
The Baldwins: Hilaria Baldwin Justifies Her Spanish Accent
Hilaria Baldwins also talks about the controversy surrounding her Spanish accent on the show. She is an American but claims that she has Spanish roots. She has even named her kids as per Spanish traditions. In The Baldwins, she shared that there are people of mixed races.
When people trolled her, it affected her, and as a result, she found herself in a dark place. She is bilingual and even raises her kids the same way. Her parents live in Spain, and she loves the country. She further added that she loves English and Spanish language, and mixing the two made her feel normal.
The Baldwins: Alec And Hilaria’s Tone Deaf Approach To Hutchins’ Death Is Getting Harshly Criticized
This is not something new that celebrities have a tone-deaf approach to sensitive topics. However, this time, it is about someone’s death. It is all the more serious as Alec primarily contributed to Hutchins’ death. He was rehearsing for a scene for his film Rust when the prop gun fired and hit the cinematographer. She immediately died, and now the couple is trying to climb back to grace. They are whitewashing the incident on their show, The Baldwins.
Viewers and critics call it a new low for television. The Guardian’s Lucy Mangan said that the timing of the show is extremely poor taste. She added that Hilaria mentioned Hutchins but not in a proper way; she said that her death left her son motherless, but no one can fathom what the Baldwins went through. Lucy questioned how Hilaria could compare her grief to that of the Hutchins’ son, whose entire livelihood had been shattered.
Lucy Further added that it was really necessary to hurt the family. The show was extremely distasteful, and the sole purpose is unclear. Critic Ed Power in the Telegraph called the series “a saccharine pity party.” They mixed up the kids and the tragic incident, which should never have happened. In a way, the show used their kids to avoid accountability for the accident and show themselves as victims.
The Baldwins also deals with other topics, like Hilaria’s mixed accent and their kids, and how Alec’s previous marriage affected his life and relationships. All in all, it glorifies the couple and tries to set a narrative. For all the latest reality TV updates, keep coming back to TV Season & Spoilers for more updates about The Baldwins.
