Alec Baldwin is opening up about what it was like filming his family's new reality show The Baldwins amid last year's Rust shooting trial. While speaking to People at an event celebrating the grand opening of the new Planet Hollywood in Times Square on Tuesday, Baldwin spoke about the TLC show, which premiered on Feb. 23, admitting it was a unique time for the family when they filmed the show. The actor stood trial last July after being indicted for involuntary manslaughter following the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his movie Rust in October 2021. Hutchins was killed and writer-director Joel Souza was injured after a prop gun that Alec was holding on the New Mexico set discharged. Cameras began rolling on The Baldwins the month before Alec headed to trial — and the series shows how he and wife Hilaria juggled parenting and day-to-day life with their kids alongside the legal proceedings. On the third day of the trial, the judge threw out the case due to a late discovery of evidence. The case was dismissed with prejudice after Alec’s lawyers argued that the prosecution withheld evidence relevant to the case. Alec told People: “When I think of the reality show, many things occur to me after the fact like when we were doing it, it was a bit of a unique time for us, but afterward when we did it, I realized that that's who we are." "The kids have fun, the kids are happy. It's not like we're staging anything or faking. The kids really are in each other's lives," the actor continued. "They have friends and go to play dates and this and that, but they would rather stay home with each other," he added while talking about what the camera captures.”
