Alec Baldwin’s wife, Hilaria, shuts down trolls after her recent clip with her kids went viral
The Rust actor’s wife recently became the subject of online criticism after sharing a playful video with her children, Carmen and Leonardo, on social media.
In the June 16 clip shared on Instagram, Hilaria Baldwin was seen laughing as her kids effortlessly picked her up off the ground. Meanwhile, she struggled to do the same in return. Baldwin captioned the post, “Leo and Carmen can pick me up now! And I am struggling to pick them up. How does this happen so fast???”
Though many viewers found the video sweet and humorous, it quickly attracted body-shaming remarks from some social media users. One commenter sarcastically suggested Baldwin was seeking attention for her weight, writing, “‘Look how light I am!’” To this, she responded with, “How about ‘look how strong my kids are’????”
Another user chimed in with a blunt, “Do you eat?,” referencing her petite body. Baldwin gave a direct and unbothered reply, “Well yes I do.” Despite the negativity, she took time to engage with fans who commented positively. Meanwhile, one user shared a nostalgic memory, “I used to do this with my mom too. She was 5”1 and I was 5”8.” To this, Baldwin replied warmly, “I feel like this is going to be them. They all got the tall genes. Me not so much.”
