  1. >“This has been just surreal,” Alec told his wife in the debut episode. “I mean, I can’t even believe that we’re going through this, and I always feel more in pain about you than me, because I think to myself, well, you know, I’m going to try to my best to just get through it, and I think what it’s done to you and how much it’s hurt you and everything.”

    >In his confessional, he added: “This past year was just terrible. There were times I’d lay in bed. I’d go, ‘Wow, my kids. I can’t get up.’ That’s not like me. I’m not like that at all, not in any way am I like that. Never.”

    >“Everyone who is close to Alec has seen his mental health decline,” explained Hilaria, who also said her husband’s OCD has worsened since. “He was diagnosed with PTSD, and he says in his darkest moments, ‘If an accident had to have happened this day, why am I still here? Why couldn’t it have been me?’”

    >“You wake up in the morning and you’re like, ‘Oh god, why did I wake up?’” she went on to tell Alec, who recalled not knowing how to answer a friend who asked how he was doing.

    >“I said, ‘I’m happier when I’m asleep than when I’m awake,’” he revealed.

  2. I feel for him, but also dude loves make believe. His wife still pretends to have an accent for fucks sake

  3. I think he and his wife are definitely not good people, but I also think it must be absolutely horrific to live with the fact you took someone’s life accidentally and so I do have some sympathy there. I can’t imagine the trauma everyone who was on that set in that moment has, it must’ve been shocking.

  4. Idk I love 30 rock and I definitely feel like he’s been through it. But if you were THAT distraught about it, you probably wouldn’t do a reality show.

  5. I used to be a huge fan of Alec Baldwin for his dramatic and comedic performances in some of my favorite movies ever, including Beetlejuice, Glengarry Glen Ross, The Aviator and The Departed. But today, I can’t stand him or his wife, as they are craven, self-centered and eternally grifting assholes. I wish they would just go away and just learn to be happy with the success they’ve achieved instead of shoving themselves into media and cameras at every opportunity.

  6. Didn’t he say like immediately after the incident “I don’t feel guilty” “someone’s to blame and it’s not me” I get time can change things tho

  8. I ask that question daily. Why wasn’t it that arrogant dickhead?

  11. Why the fuck did they make this stupid reality show…. nobody…. literally nobody wanted it.

  13. Does the Boston wife use her fake Spanish accent in the show?

  14. >: ‘I’m Happier When I’m Asleep

    He was talking about his marriage

  15. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that it doesn’t bother him at all. It’s very important that it appears to, to his public persona however. I’m sure he’s just self flagellating himself between mimosas by his pool.

  19. “Sometimes I wonder why I have seven kids” is in the ad, it won’t stop popping up.

  20. did he even say her name at all? i feel like every time he or his wife have spoken about this, they talk about Halyna like she’s a vague abstract concept of a person.

  21. Poor taste. Someone fucking died and he is literally either making a joke or needs a therapist.

  22. seriously alec ,shut. the fuck. up! you don’t have to say every thxt comes to mind

  24. Will definitely not watch … no interest in this train wreck

  26. Cry me a river. A woman is dead and Baldwin got away with negligent homicide. I don’t give a shit about his mental state; I’m more interested in the mental state of her children and spouse.

  28. I feel bad for him, he really got publicity hung out to dry.

  30. Damn that sucks man, shame the producer didn’t hire properly trained professionals instead of neposcabs. You should find out who that was and give him a good talking to
