Hilaria Baldwin Opens Up About Daughter Carmen’s Heart-Wrenching Fear Amid Alec’s Legal Drama

Hilaria Baldwin is pulling back the curtain on how her family, particularly their eldest daughter Carmen, is grappling with the emotional fallout from Alec Baldwin’s ongoing legal battles. In a recent episode of their show, *The Baldwins*, Hilaria revealed that Carmen, now 11, was deeply affected when Alec faced charges of involuntary manslaughter stemming from the tragic shooting incident on the set of *Rust*. This whole situation has been nothing short of a rollercoaster for the Baldwin clan.

When Alec was first indicted in connection to the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on October 27, 2021, Carmen struggled with anxiety and fear. Hilaria recounted how for months, Carmen refused to be alone in a room, leading to the family having to arrange sleeping arrangements for her to be with her brothers. “She has a fear of: ‘Is our family going to be torn apart?'” Hilaria shared, highlighting the emotional turmoil their children have been facing.

In a particularly poignant moment, Hilaria recalled Carmen asking, “When Daddy goes to New Mexico, do I have to say goodbye to him?” The heartbreaking question clearly struck a nerve, leaving Hilaria in tears as she explained how they’ve never been apart for more than three weeks. This familial bond is facing unprecedented strain, and it’s evident that Carmen feels the weight of uncertainty hanging over their heads.

Alec Baldwin’s legal issues have been highly publicized, and the charges stem from a tragic accident that left Hutchins dead and director Joel Souza injured. The actor has maintained that he did not pull the trigger and was unaware that live rounds were present. In July, the case was dismissed after Alec’s legal team argued that prosecutors had withheld crucial evidence, but the emotional scars remain for his family, especially his children.

With seven kids in the mix, including their youngest, Ilaria Catalina Irena, just 2, it’s a chaotic but loving household. Nevertheless, the stress from Alec’s trials is palpable, and it’s clear that Hilaria and her kids are navigating some pretty choppy waters as they try to maintain a sense of normalcy amid the chaos.
