Here are some photos from Hilaria Thomas Baldwin’s Instagram from the past week. Apparently, since Alec has no reason to be in New York now that his MSNBC show was suspended, Alec, Hilaria and baby Carmen flew to Hawaii. I know this because Hilaria documents her family’s movements on Twitter & Instagram. Which is her right. She posts photos of her daughter too, with messages like “Happy 3 months Carmen Gabriela! What a blessing you are” and “This is the little angel we fight for so fiercely to protect.” That’s her right as well.
But! It does get a bit… odd, right? I mean, here’s Hilaria posting photos of her baby, and she and Alec let People Mag publish the first photos of Carmen. And Hilaria is a correspondent on Extra now too. So, Hilaria has no issues publishing photos of her kid on her terms. But whenever the paparazzi dare to take Alec’s photo, he goes off like a rage monster and starts spitting out hate speech. That’s what I always come back to – it’s not that Alec and Hilaria’s position is “we don’t want to expose our daughter to any kind of publicity.” It’s that they want to have complete control over how they expose their daughter, and when they lose control for just one moment (and even when it’s not about the baby whatsoever), Alec freaks out to a really crazy degree.
Also – it’s still up in the air as to whether Alec will even return to MSNBC. Deadline says that MSNBC’s executives are being very quiet about the whole Baldwin drama and Alec is even saying that he might not come back.

Wow, she’s working it, huh?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha! Alec Baldwin married a fame-whore!
Total. Look at that first picture. It’s awful of the baby, but good of her. That’s why she posted it. So obvious.
Yes it is a photo showing off the twins, not the baby
Awful? I think the baby looks adorable in that picture! That smile is so precious!
She’s a beautiful baby, but she looks like a plastic doll in that photo, IMO.
There’s a baby in that picture?
Yeah, the lighting is so blown out on the baby you can barely see her.
Yes, completely agree with that, T. Fanty.
Her baby pictures are as boring as everyone else’s baby pictures.
WIN
Alec’s deranged, no question, but to be fair taking a picture of your own baby is an entirely different thing to being chased by and surrounded by aggressive guys invading your personal space and jostling for position while you’re carrying your baby.
Also posting a photo if your own baby is entirely different from some stranger taking the photo without your permission and then selling it. I don’t think anyone would be happy about that.
I’ve always loved Alec, but his temper has always been out of control & his Achilles heel. I think his wife is as bad as he is, he’s just more vocal. The baby is adorable.
I was going to say the same. There’s a huge difference in taking photos in a quiet, safe environment compared to one where 20-30 guys are yelling and pushing you and each other.
Yeah I have to agree. Just because you want to take a picture of your baby and show it off does not mean you have to like the paparazzi hounding you. Two different things. Not that any of that excuses their behavior.
I read on many other Alec post that he has a house in Amagansett Long Island where they don’t gets photograph, so one would question why do they continue to live where they are going to be bother by the paparazzi.
Also why haven’t they gotten a bodyguard who could keep the paparazzi away from them and their baby.
Very true. Also there seem to be plenty of other celebrities in NYC who seem to fly under the radar and don’t get pap’d constantly.. So I’m not sure why he has such problems with them? Maybe Hilaria is calling them hmm.
But they don’t even want pictures of Hilaria and the baby, they want pictures of rage-monster Alec. Don’t engage, be a grownup and don’t give them the freakout they want and they won’t try to bait him like that. Alec could just walk first for a while, but instead he tries to insist that his bad behavior is ‘protecting’ his wife and kid – No.
I for one love to see photos of this adorable baby. It’s up to Hilaria how she wants to allow photos of her baby. Taking photos outside with yelling paps crowding and shoving is a whole different story. She is entitled to show the baby in a peaceful loving setting which this is.
The thing is, I actually agree with them. They should be able to introduce their daughters in People Mag and post pictures of her on Twitter (don’t unterstand why you would do either of these things, but to each their own) AND not be harassed by the paparazzi. This whole argument of “Well, you are putting yourself and your family out there, it is therefore our right to take pictures of you whenever and wherever we want”, is bull. BUT Alec’s (and to a certain degree Hilaria’s) reaction is so over the top and, well, rude that it is hard to sympathize with them.
Amen to all of this.
I agree that celebrity children should be off limits, but Baldwin behaves like an idiot. He was raging at paps and hurling racist, homophobic, misogynistic slurs long before that sweet bundle of joy was a mere twinkle in his eye.
Yeah but it’s possible to think that both sides are in the wrong. Just because Baldwin has serious anger issues, doesn’t justify the paparazzi’s aggressive and disgusting behavior.
I was kinda grossed out by a lot of the comments on the thread about Baldwin’s stalker-some posters basically applauding her behavior, saying Alec “deserved it”.
I think it’s ok to criticize Baldwin AND think that the paparazzi are total scumbags-that’s the camp that I’m in.
Good points. I think we need strict laws about photographing children.
She is just doing what all first time mothers do…show off your baby. she still doesn’t deserve to be chased on the street when she has her baby (or when she doesn’t)
Honest question: could you even pick Hilaria out of a lineup if she wasn’t with Alec? Photographers arent chasing her down, they’re chasing Alec down. There’s not some crazy demand for photos of Hilaria and their daughter, but if he freaks out its a national story. This is all on Alec.
I don’t understand this at all. I don’t have an infant, but after being stalked, and then raging about paps getting too close to your baby, and claiming not to be the Kardashians, why post a public photo of the most vulnerable amongst you?
I could see it if it was diffusing pap interest and potential high sales numbers in getting photos of the baby, but the paps always come for Alec.
Does not compute.
I dont get the whole selfie culture and why people insist on displaying their babies to the whole planet either but I do know that its her right to be able to choose when and how to expose her child.
Of course it’s a right, I wasn’t arguing legality, just the wisdom of it in the context of recent events. I think, overall, it’s not the best idea to post photos of children for public consumption, but if you felt threatened all the time, why do it? Why not share privately with family, instead of including some random nut in on the action? They are making her life “public”.
I was using ‘right’ in its colloqial meaning rather than as a legal concept. And I completely object to blaming the victim in this case for allegedly creating the environment for their own violation. ‘Wisdom’ be damned, those scummy paps need to stay away from kids.
That said, I doubt that not releasing the baby photos would affect the situation one way or the other, I think we can agree that the photos of real value are not the kid but rather of her parents anger at the paps hovering around their baby.
Jojo, to be clear, I did not blame them for the stalking, anywhere. The paps are looking for Alec to react. He gives them what they want. I never said he “called” them asking for their presence, but he does feed into what makes these photos valuable and in demand.
Also good point. She could just do a feed to family and friends. Why show the entire world?
Simple solution, Goodnames. They can share baby pics with family and friends. Period. Then they’d have a little of the privacy Alec craves. They aren’t Brangelina. The prospect of Baldwin behaving badly is what draws the paps. Not his and Hilaria’s star wattage.
So agree with you, kiddo. And the Kardashians are a perfect example. Don’t post pictures that expose your body and personal life and then complain when the paparazzi are harassing you trying to get photos. And especially don’t post photos of your baby to social media sites where anyone can see the picture if you don’t want the wrong people (ie. paparazzi) to get a hold of it! And they can say that using social media to show off their kids prevents the paparazzi from chasing after them, but I don’t buy it. There are celebrities who NEVER expose their kids to social media and don’t have the paparazzi chasing after them either, so it can be done if THEY WANT IT THAT WAY! However, it’s obvious that Hilaria Baldwin loves the attention, so I doubt she’s going to stop any time soon.
Fame whore extraordinare.
Yep. I always get a total famewhore vibe from her. She gets dressed up and wears her heels to walk her dogs and absolutely loves the attention. There are ways to go unnoticed in NY. Huge stars do it everyday. There are also ways to get noticed and she chose that route.
on the last pic even the baby already giving both parents the finger for taking a pic of her
The deer picture! I didn’t even notice! Haha!
Bwahahahah!! Good catch
aaawwww, i love that my-first-flight one, smells of pure famewhore but still cute..
Like it or not, the celebrity world has rules. If they wanted to be left alone by the paps, they would not share photos on social media or in magazines. Or flip out on the paps. I’m not saying that’s fair, as I believe they SHOULD be able to do whatever they want and get respect and privacy. But that’s not how it works. And Alec is too much of a stubborn jerk to follow the rules. Celebrities who truly want privacy get it (for the most part).
This. I’ve seen plenty of celebrities and sports stars basically say, “These are the rules” and for the most part, the paps follow them or they’ll start doing the “Wear the same outfit when I go out” so it looks like the same pictures over and over and won’t sell.
Yup, I just said the same thing above. Should have read the rest of the comments first before posting my thoughts :).
I was going to say, of all the women in the world and mega-rich Alec picks the gold-digging, fame whore one? Then I really thought about 2013 Alec. These two deserve each other. I hope he is nicer to this daughter than he was to the first one.
Agreed. He is not self-aware enough to see how thirsty she is. He deserves no better, but I do feel sorry for that child’s future. Hopefully, he got all of the “rude little piggy” comments out of his system, but I sincerely doubt it.
She looks like a cross between Ricki Lake and Ashley Judd. Other than that, no opinion.
The baby is cute. That’s all I’ve got.
I wasn’t going to be the one to say it but…
Is Hilaria’s left brow permanently arched? Posing that way in every pic is weird.
Their eventual divorce will be an ugly, protracted thing. I remember Kim & she wasn’t even a famewhore, Hilaria better get ready for that starting… Now.
Alec has serious anger issues. However there is a difference between what you choose to release and what you don’t. It is one thing to put a picture in instagram or other social media. It is another is have papparazzi following you while being jerks and hoping to get a reaction.
Don’t be fooled. This woman loves the spotlight. Why else dress to the nine’s and stroll with the baby for the pap’s everyday?
Yeah he married a TOTAL famewhore. She reeks of it.
Would feel bad for him but he obviously wanted the hot yoga teacher in her 20’s so I guess they are each getting something out of it. Try to enjoy the next 5 years or so Hilaria before he is a total Grandpa!
That’s some real talk right there, qtpi.
Asswipe Alec and famewhore Hilaria do seem suited to one another. Water seeks it’s own level.
Beyonce and Gisele are two celebrities who manage to share their lives on Instagram without actually showing their kids and their daily lives. It can be done.
But I don’t find this over-sharing of babies cute. It’s not only celebrities but ordinary people do it, too. My Facebook is filled with friends and cousins posting photos of their babies every day. I find nothing wrong with their pride and joy being shared with others, but what irks me is that they readily put everything out there including their babies’ poop time or their babies being sick and laid up in the hospital, and their parents think it’s a fine time to snap a photo and post it on Facebook.
Sharing your baby’s life so publicly when your baby has no choice but to be exposed to all the world is not right. Post photos of yourself all you want, but don’t put a vulnerable person in the spotlight when he/she cannot decide for her/himself if she wanted to be exposed like that. It’s just feeding some parents’ egos to post lots of baby photos and fish for compliments from strangers.
Alec and Hilaria have also allowed the media into their lives. Their wedding photos were sold to People as were their daughter’s baby photos. They’ve given interviews about their relationship and have taken it public way before the wedding. Of course the public and the media will think that they are inviting the attention on themselves. If they truly wanted privacy, they’d have demanded it from the start and set boundaries, and behaved like they truly meant to live away from the spotlight. They didn’t and it’s only now when a child is in the picture that they’re not liking the media’s attention.
Good post-I agree 100%.
Hope he powered down his “Words with Friends” during takeoff and landing…….
Beautiful baby; that’s all I’ve got.
Her name annoys me. I imagine Hilaria is pronounced like malaria…
Wonder how it feels to be married to a nut job like Alec?
I think that’s a very homely baby. I love the name Carmen though!
Off topic, but I’m still amazed that no one has strapped her into a salon chair to do something about that major helmet hair of hers. The color is waaaay too dark and unflattering.
