Hilaria Baldwin attempts to justify snapping at Alec during viral red carpet interview

Just days after footage of Hilaria Baldwin snapping at her husband Alec on the red carpet went viral, she’s offered up an excuse.

Hilaria Baldwin snaps at Alec Baldwin during awkward interview

Hilaria Baldwin and Alec Baldwin are addressing their viral “manterrupting” moment.

On Wednesday, the couple shared an Instagram video from their bed, which kicked off with them mouthing along to audio from their awkward rep carpet interview with Extra last week.

After the voiceover, Hilaria, 41, asked, “And that is called, what’s the word of the day?”

The actor, 66, defined the interaction as him “manterrupting” and also, when prompted, hesitated before calling this a “correctile dysfunction”, reports Page Six.

In the footage, notably, Hilaria told Alec he was “annoying” and “distracting,” repeating, “When I’m talking, you’re not talking.”

She clarified to her followers, “The whole point is that we interrupt each other all the time.”

As the former yoga instructor said this, one of her and Alec’s seven children knocked on their bedroom door and interrupted with a question.

The couple cracked up over this instalment, with the video coming to a close as Hilaria asked Alec to “give [her] a kiss.”

The 30 Rock star insisted, “I’m so happy.”

In a separate video, Hilaria alerted the Oscar nominee of social media users insisting they would treat him “better” than she does, asking if he “wanted to make a change just so [he] could talk more.”

Alec jokingly replied, “This isn’t working. … I need a change. I need a woman who understands me. I thought that was you, but I was mistaken.”

He added that they “were wrong” about his behaviour in the viral video, sarcastically saying, “It’s you who is doing all the interrupting.”

When the Emmy winner asked for the fans’ email addresses, Hilaria noted, “He comes with a lot of kids though, who do a lot of interrupting.”

The couple, who wed in 2012, shares Carmen, 11, Rafael, 9, Leonardo, 8, Romeo, 6, Eduardo, 4, María, 4, and Ilaria, 2 — and their life is documented on their new TLC series, The Baldwins.

Alec, who is also the father of 29-year-old daughter Ireland from a previous marriage, teased their reality show debut in 2023.

“We can stay home,” he told Let’s Talk Off Camera With Kelly Ripa listeners at the time of pitching a potential series. “I’m desperate to try to work from New York.”

During their headline-making red carpet moment on March 11, Hilaria jokingly threatened to get Alec “cut” from the show — and “walk out” of the Planet Hollywood NYC reopening.

The Beetlejuice star, in turn, continued to gush about his wife’s “beauty” as she attempted to answer a question, which she declared was “not cute.”
