THE FILM SHOULD HAVE BEEN BURIED ALONGSIDE CINEMATOGRAPHER HALYNA HUTCHINS

Repugnance, thy name is Alec Baldwin. What a disgrace he is — gun-totin' back on set, documentary crew, creepy selfies with 'Hilaria'... while a boy mourns the mom he shot dead

What better way to celebrate not being charged with manslaughter than to begin filming a 'reality documentary' about this entirely avoidable tragedy? (Pictured, Alec Baldwin and wife Hilaria kiss goodbye in front of a camera crew as he leaves New York).

 

What better way to celebrate not being charged with manslaughter than to post self-serving photos to social media, resume production on the very film in which you accidentally shot a young wife and mother to death, and begin filming a 'reality documentary' about this entirely avoidable tragedy?

About how strong and brave you are for surviving it?

Repugnance, thy name is Alec Baldwin. What a disgrace he is: 65 years old and in it for the likes. 

Hours after prosecutors announced they were dropping charges against Baldwin in the on-set shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, he and his equally sick, fake-Spanish wife Hilaria (née Hillary Lynn Hayward-Thomas from Boston) took to Instagram.

‘I owe everything I have to this woman,’ Alec wrote.

To which an anonymous hero replied: ‘Don’t point a gun at her!’

Next up was Hilaria, posting a photo of herself curled up in Baldwin’s lap like a little girl, her head on his shoulder, his eyes closed in — what? Ecstasy? Satisfaction? Relief?

 

Repugnance, thy name is Alec Baldwin. What a disgrace he is: 65 years old and in it for the likes.

Hours after prosecutors announced they were dropping charges against Baldwin in the on-set shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins (pictured), he and his equally sick, fake-Spanish wife Hilaria (née Hillary Lynn Hayward-Thomas from Boston) took to Instagram.

 

He seems to be soothing her in ways both husbandly and paternal, while behind them hangs a family portrait, most of the heads chopped out of frame.

Creepy, creepy, creepy!

But we knew that, right? Alec and Hilaria — these are not well people.

This is a woman who went on the ‘Today’ show and did a cooking segment as a Spanish lady, pretending to speak English as a second language, asking: ‘How you say in Eng — cucumber?’ Married to a man who seemingly encourages her delusion, her apparent addiction to having baby after baby (now 7 bambinos and counting, Numero Ocho surely on the way), whose rage issues are well documented, and who once called his then-11-year-old daughter ‘a rude, thoughtless little pig’ for missing his phone call.

But sure, Alec is Husband and Father Of The Year. This little matter of holding a gun at his cinematographer, against safety protocols, resulting in her death at age 42? Well, s**t happens.

It's safe to say that casa Baldwin is Bizarro-world where up is down, down is up, and things most decent people would consider mortifying — like using your multiple babies as sexy-mommy-yoga props, continuing to speak in that demented Spanish accent, or, say, accidentally killing your co-worker — are, at the very least, seen as possibly advantageous.

Shame is vanishing in American culture, and these two are our prime examples. Nothing can humble or embarrass them. Everything is content.

Now that charges have been dropped — surely I'm not alone in being shocked by that — it’s time to cut loose. Time for Alec and Hilaria to hit the streets, seek out the paps, get photographed wearing $300 slippers, babies strapped everywhere, and remind everyone who the real victims in this tragedy are: yes, Alec and Hilaria Baldwin.

What — you thought it was Halyna Hutchins? Her widower Matthew? Their son, nine years old at the time Halyna was killed, so traumatized he couldn’t speak a single word for two days?

Reader, Alec and Hilaria are back to disabuse you. Here was Alec on Wednesday, tenderly kissing his wife goodbye outside their luxury NYC apartment building, Hilaria holding whichever baby was camera-ready, making sure the paparazzi — who Alec has a habit of aggression with — got the shot. As well as the personal film crew they had with them.

Yes, Alec Baldwin, as DailyMail.com exclusively reported Friday, has hired a film crew to shoot a 'reality documentary’. And not just any crew: this one is led by Rory Kennedy, sister of the newly-announced, highly-problematic presidential candidate Bobby Kennedy Jr.

Wow. Imagine the pitch meetings at Netflix or Hulu or whatever streaming service considers getting in the mud with Baldwin. Surely there's an audience for a deeply unlikable, unrepentant actor and his equally narcissistic, empty-vessel wife luxuriating in their victimhood, right? To say nothing of their poor children, who will probably be used for sympathy points.

Anyway, here was Alec again on Thursday, trailed by Rory's camera crew as he landed in Montana to resume production on ‘Rust’, the very film Hutchins died on, a low-budget disaster that saw seven crew members walk off over safety concerns the very morning she was shot, an independent film no one is asking for nor needs to see.

He looked quite happy to be there. As for lesson learned? Well, Alec was seen holding a gun the WRONG way on set.

It's all so ghoulish.

And here was Hilaria on Friday morning, pushing her expensive stroller and carrying her gourmet coffee, accompanied by at least one nanny, making sure photographers captured her in all her glory.

See? Zero shame. It's all about the Baldwins and the Benjamins. It's all about Hilaria's heat-seeking need for attention and Alec's reinstatement as a movie star who pals around with the Kennedys.

Water really does seek its own level.

Finally, Alec and Hilaria are free to resume their lives where it really matters: social media. Lest we forget — in the thick of all of this, Baldwin, quite possibly facing a criminal trial and prison time, begged his fans to get Hilaria to one million Instagram followers.

‘I would like a really great, great surge of people to follow my wife on Instagram,' he said. 'Would you do that for me? Please?’

These two really have their priorities straight. They’re deeply in touch with the things that matter most. Hilaria loves to tell us through her wardrobe.

Remember the EMPATHY sweatshirt? The BOUNDARIES ARE HOT! hoodie?

On Friday, she gave us yet another peek at her innermost thoughts, toddler-level though they may be: Hilaria strolled through New York City's streets in brown sweatpants, the Skittles-colored slogan OH, HAPPY DAYS running up the side of one pant leg.

So kind of Hillary to go for plain English so we Americans could understand.

Now, don’t forget: even though they seem to be in the clear, Hilaria and Alec are still traumatized. Very much so. Muy, muy mucho. They’ll need to parlay this into a reality show, a book deal and at least one new podcast to process their suffering.

After all, this is the line they’ve been peddling since the accident: feel sorry for them as they retreat to the Hamptons, shop at Ralph Lauren, dine in full view of the paparazzi.

As they buy a farmhouse in Vermont and conduct bizarre roadside pressers in which a glowering Hilaria scolds the media while practically levitating from all the attention, angling to get in every shot, her husband wresting back the spotlight. 'Excuse me,' he snapped to his wife. 'Do me a favor — I'm gonna answer the questions.'

It was like he was talking to the help!

Undeterred and unconscionable as ever, they then posted a 'happy family' picture on Halloween, just weeks after Halyna’s death, Hilaria writing that ‘parenting through this has been an intense experience, to say the least’.

It was Halyna’s son’s first holiday without his mom – a child-centric one at that. 'Heartless' doesn’t begin to describe that post.

Next, Alec sat for a softball interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos — his pal from the Hamptons (a detail neither disclosed) — trying in vain to work up tears as he blamed Hutchins for her own death.

‘Everything is at her direction,’ Baldwin told Stephanopoulos. ‘I’m holding the gun where she told me to hold it.’

Of equal importance: her death had ruined Baldwin’s love of moviemaking.

‘People who are watching this show,’ Baldwin said, ‘you have no idea how unique a motion picture set is.’

Talk about tone deaf! ‘Unique’ is certainly one way to describe that set.

Even George Clooney publicly castigated Baldwin, calling Hutchins’s death entirely preventable. ‘Insane’ and ‘infuriating,’ Clooney said.

The same holds true for resuming production on ‘Rust’ and simultaneously filming a vanity project: Insane. Infuriating.

Clearly Alec and Hilaria think that if we all just see who they are, hear their tale of woe over and over, that we’ll feel sorry for them. That we’ll like them. Maybe even buy what they’re selling.

Perhaps they should ask a certain sad-sack couple in Montecito how that’s been working out.
