Defiant Alec and Hilaria Baldwin shrug of scathing reviews off ‘dreadful’ reality show to mingle at Planet Hollywood party

Alec and Hilaria Baldwin shook off scathing reviews of their ‘dreadful’ reality show to mingle at the grand reopening of Planet Hollywood in New York City on Tuesday.

The 66-year-old actor and 41-year-old yogi shook off the negative reaction to their TLC series as they rubbed shoulders with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.

The reopening was hosted by the power couple and featured a DJ set from Boy George as well as an appearance by rapper 50 Cent. 

Alec sported a dark suit while his wife Hilaria rocked a neon green turtleneck dress. They both wore Planet Hollywood hats.

The pair currently star in the new TLC reality show, The Baldwins, with their seven children which has been at the center of plenty of controversy including being slammed by the family of Halyna Hutchins who was killed on the set of Alec’s film Rust.

 The show has also been blasted by critics including DailyMail.com’s Christopher Stevens who gave it one star out of five.

The columnist wrote: ‘If this series is meant to make us feel sympathy, it has done the reverse. Last week, Alec Baldwin was just a has-been actor to me. Now I know exactly who he and his wife are. What hideous people.’

The Guardian’s Lucy Mangan also gave the series one out of five stars as they wrote: ‘The Baldwins is dreadful, and makes the couple look likewise.’

‘You can suddenly be inside a beautiful forest or an old cowboy town and Lil Nas X is playing. And then it goes over to Jelly Roll and then Taylor Swift,’ Earl told The Post.

‘In the past we focused on the theatergoers coming from across the water and visitors to the city, and we weren’t targeting Manhattanites.’
