Alec Baldwin has come under fire for his latest Instagram post featuring his son and wife, Hilaria Baldwin.
Just days after news emerged that the 64-year-old actor and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, 25, would be charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter over the killing of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movie Rust, he left his followers perplexed with his latest social media post.
The Pixie actor shared with his 2.5 million followers a sweet picture of his son staring into the camera as he holds his 39-year-old mother's shoulders, while they are sat on their living room floor.
However, under what is meant to be a heartwarming photo, the Pixie actor sent people into a frenzy as he indicated in the caption that the young boy was pulling "the old let me give you a back rub ploy" on his mother.
Check out Baldwin's post below:Several of the Golden Globe winner's fans were baffled by the post - which was the actor's first since news of the involuntary manslaughter charge - and expressed their opinions in the comment section without holding back.
One user wrote: "Imagine being indicted for involuntary manslaughter and the first post you make after the announcement includes a picture of your attention-seeking wife, posed with your young son, and captioned with a sexually suggestive innuendo."
Another said: "First post after getting indicted for manslaughter and you post a sexually suggestive comment about your child. This dude has a screw loose. Or five."
A third commented: "Does anyone else think this is creepy ** with the caption? Pic is sweet. Caption makes it weird."
A fourth shared: "That’s a pretty f***ing weird comment to make on a photo of your son and his mother."
The It's Complicated actor's Instagram post also follows a recent video of Hilaria speaking to paparazzi after being asked about her husband's charges.
The yoga instructor was spotted carrying her newborn baby and throughout the video, she spoke with a Spanish-ish accent. For those unaware, she has been accused of pretending to be Spanish. She was born in Boston and her birth name is Hilary.
"I'm going to tell you what I'm going to say, you're not going to ask me questions. I want you guys to realize that we have seven kids and you being here to escort them to school and to be there when they come home is not good," she began.
"So on a human level, you guys know I'm not going to say anything to you. You know that. So please leave my family in peace and let this all play out," she continued. "[The kids] ask me, 'Mommy, what are these people doing? And it's a very hard thing as a mom to try to explain."
"So please, go home - because I'm not going to say anything and Alec is not going to say anything," the mother concluded before walking away.
Furthermore, Baldwin and Gutierrez-Reed's charges will be formally filed nearer the end of the month and were announced by Santa Fe County District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies and special prosecutor Andrea Reeb.
In a statement obtained by People, Brian J. Panish - an attorney for the Hutchins family - said on behalf of the family: "We want to thank the Santa Fe Sheriff and the District Attorney for concluding their thorough investigation and determining that charges for involuntary manslaughter are warranted for the killing of Halyna Hutchins with conscious disregard for human life."
"Our independent investigation also supports charges are warranted. It is a comfort to the family that, in New Mexico, no one is above the law," Panish continued.
"We support the charges, will fully cooperate with this prosecution, and fervently hope the justice system works to protect the public and hold accountable those who break the law," he added.
In addition to this, the outlet revealed that assistant director David Halls signed a plea agreement for the charge of the negligent use of a deadly weapon, per a statement released by Carmack-Altwies and Reeb.
