Alec and Hilaria Baldwin had such an uncomfortable on-camera moment that people are now wondering if they were staging drama for their reality show.
The couple, who are currently starring in their controversial TLC reality series, The Baldwins, gave an excruciatingly awkward interview at the grand reopening of Planet Hollywood NYC on Tuesday - leaving fans and viewers cringing.
The tension began when an Extra reporter asked whether the Baldwins would be returning for a second season of their show.
Hilaria started to respond, but Alec immediately cut in with a sarcastic remark: "The Hilaria Show."
His wife shut him down instantly, shaking her head and firmly saying: "No."
However, Alec continued to interrupt her, leading Hilaria to finally snap: "OMG! When I’m talking, you’re not talking."
Alec looked down and quickly muttered: “I’m sorry.”
But Hilaria wasn’t done making her point.
“No, when I’m talking, you’re not talking,” she repeated.
At that moment, she even tried to block Alec out of the frame, staring directly into the camera before joking (or not): “This is why we’ll just have to cut him out of the show.”
Alec visibly distanced himself from both Hilaria and the interviewer, seemingly not taking the comment well.
Though Alec eventually returned to the conversation, the exchange didn’t get any smoother.
At one point, he began praising Hilaria’s beauty, but instead of appreciating the compliment, she snapped: “Why? Why are you distracting me?”
She then took things a step further, turning to Alec with a tight-lipped smile and saying: “Stop! Stop! You’re annoying me. Stop! It’s not cute.”
And just when things couldn’t get more awkward, she threatened to leave the interview entirely: “I’m gonna, like, walk out of this interview right now.”
Naturally, people had lots to say.
One person said: "I think he’s just over her complete rudeness and lack of respect," while a second added: "Wow! that was incredibly rude, she just showed her true colors."
A third person added: "She definitely wants a show. She’s dying to be famous," as a fourth added: "She's very disrespectful towards him."
Another recent story involving the Baldwin's saw the couple get pretty agitated with a Trump impersonator.
Jason Scoop, who taunted Baldwin over the fatal 2021 Rust shooting, was threatened on camera by the actor outside his New York City home - but according to the comedian, the drama didn’t end when the cameras stopped rolling.
Speaking to TMZ, Scoop alleged that after the explosive street encounter, Hilaria Baldwin ran after him in an attempt to take his phone.
“The part nobody saw — because the camera was off — his wife chased me around the block after,” he claimed. “I’m not kidding you.”
Scoop described Hilaria as trying to intervene in the altercation, recalling: “She’s like, ‘Oh my god, what are you doing?’”
The comedian mockingly referred to her as “the cucumber lady”, referencing the viral moment where Hilaria pretended to forget the English word for cucumber on live TV.
According to Scoop, she then lunged for his phone before taking off after him in high heels.
“I yelled at my cameraman… ‘Get this! Get this!’” he said. “And I was a little disappointed with him. He missed that opportunity, [which] might have been bigger than me and Alec.”
