Alec and Hilaria Baldwin Respond to Puppet Control Criticism with Instagram Skit

Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria Baldwin responded humorously to online criticism suggesting that Hilaria controls Alec like a puppet. On June 1, the couple posted a playful video on Instagram recreating a meme that depicted Hilaria as a puppet master controlling Alec, featuring Hilaria in a green dress holding spoons as marionette strings while Alec acted like a puppet, all set to the Disney song "When You Wish Upon a Star." Hilaria captioned the video by acknowledging that the idea came from their critics. This lighthearted response follows Hilaria's previous public address of criticism regarding her accent and heritage in the couple's TLC reality show, where she explained her mixed cultural identity and how it affected perceptions. The Baldwins continue to use humor and candidness to engage with public scrutiny, showing resilience amid challenges including the aftermath of the 2022 incident on Alec's film set.
