Alec Baldwin is no stranger to public controversy, but even his biggest critics might feel a little sorry for him after his latest red carpet moment. While attending the grand opening of Planet Hollywood Times Square, Baldwin, 66, found himself publicly scolded by his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, 41, in what many are calling a classic display of narcissistic control.
The couple, who were being interviewed by Extra about their TLC reality series The Baldwins, seemed to be promoting the show as a united front—until Hilaria abruptly shut Alec down.
The video, which quickly went viral on social media, shows Alec encouraging his wife, saying, “It’s gonna be great, you’re a winner,” only for Hilaria to snap back, “No talking while I’m talking!” Not once, but twice.
The moment, now dissected across social media, left Alec looking visibly defeated. Critics of Hilaria, who has previously been accused of fabricating her Spanish heritage and displaying narcissistic tendencies, pointed to this incident as further proof of her controlling behavior. Commentators described the exchange as a “power move” designed to keep Alec in check and ensure the spotlight stayed firmly on her.

While some internet users defended Hilaria, claiming Alec’s past behavior—most notably his infamous voicemail to his daughter Ireland Baldwin—justifies her reaction, others saw it as an unnecessary public humiliation. “It’s rude to talk over someone, that much is true,” one commenter noted.
“It’s far more rude to berate your partner for it in public. But hey, it’s Hollywood—not a bastion for healthy relationships.”
Even among those who have little sympathy for Alec Baldwin, there’s an undeniable awkwardness to the video. One viewer wrote, “I’m no Alec Baldwin fan, but this clip is shocking. He looks completely beaten down.”
Of course, the internet never misses an opportunity to chime in. One parody account joked, “I wonder if I still have any ‘blanks’ at home,” a not-so-subtle reference to Baldwin’s role in the Rust shooting tragedy.
Others speculated about the deeper dynamics of their marriage, with one user writing, “We attract our equivalent/complementary energy. Obviously, Alec has childhood wounds he needs to transcend.”
Hilaria Baldwin is a yoga instructor, author, and co-founder of the yoga studio Yoga Vida in Manhattan. The couple married in 2012 and have seven children together.
