Alec Baldwin’s wife, Hilaria Baldwin, posted a lengthy defense of her husband on Instagram.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Hilaria Baldwin reflected on her relationship with her husband and the criticism he continues to receive after fatally shooting a cinematographer on the set of his movie.
“To enter your world and become your person has been both a joy and an eye opening experience. How many wonderful moments, meeting incredible people, doing amazing experiences, and building a family. I am forever grateful. Every day,” Hilaria Baldwin wrote.
She continued, “The darker part is seeing behind the curtain at how some of this ‘business’ can function and the blows and sacrifices that someone in the public eye takes for speaking up for what they believe and for helping others.”
Hilaria Baldwin suggested “enemies of these missions seek to destroy you, in order to delegitimize your voice and purpose.”
According to the actor’s wife, this is not “a new tactic…it’s as old as history…yet, how easy it is now more than ever to slander people and cherry pick and piece together strands taken out of context, ‘opinions’, or complete fabrications.”
She reflected on how individuals have stopped Alec Baldwin to thank him “for your philanthropy in the arts, your work with children, fighting for our environment, and yes, we all know: our politics.”
Her post continues, “People see how hard you fight for what you believe is right. And we are grateful. Listen to these voices..turn down the volume on the darkness and negativity.”
Expressing her empathy for her husband, Hilaria Baldwin wrote, “How much more can one body and one mind take before we crumple beneath the psychological torture?”
Concluding her post, she added, “Not everyone with your privilege chooses this path. And we know it’s hard. So many love you, AB, we are here for you to lean on and feel safe.”
The actor received significant criticism after shooting and killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins last year.
Alec Baldwin fired back at a Twitter user last month over a tweet on the shooting.
After he tweeted about the former president allegedly trying to choke a secret service agent.
The user replied, “Better than you shooting you cinematographer.”

Baldwin responded, “When I am eventually not charged with any crime, I’ll come find you so you can apologize. I’ll find you Mike.”
