The interview shocked viewers – a snappy Hilaria Baldwin scolding her husband Alec for interrupting her on the red carpet.
Unsurprisingly the now viral clip raised questions about their marriage, with many condemning her behaviour, and some even alleging âelder abuse.â
But âfireworksâ are the norm, according to sources close to the fiery couple who dismissed the humiliating interaction as nothing more than âbanter.â
âThat was a true reflection of their relationship,â the insider told Daily Mail. âThey test each other. It may have looked concerning to some, but it was all playful banter.â
Hilaria, 41, was talking to Extra at the grand re-opening of Planet Hollywood in NYC last week alongside her actor husband, 66, when conversation turned to a potential second series of their reality TV show.
As Hilaria went to respond, Alec jumped in with: ‘The Hilaria Show.â She then added: ‘No, I think we are going to see, you know, we’re going to see how it feels to be out there.’

The 30 Rock star then cut in to say: ‘It’s gonna be great. You’re a winner.’
Seemingly furious at his interjection, she snapped: ‘Oh my God. When I’m talking, you’re not talking.’
‘I’m sorry,’ Alec said as Hilaria threw her hands up and repeated: ‘When I’m talking, you’re not talking.’
She turned back to face the interviewer and joked: ‘This is why we’ll just have to cut him out of the show.’
The cringeworthy confrontation sparked a fierce debate online, with some branding it a âvery uncomfortable dynamic.â
Others claimed it was a âhard watchâ and said Hilaria was ârude.â
But the interaction was harmless.
âThere is no harm,â the source continued. âThey both have strong personalities and thatâs why theyâre attracted to one another.

Did Alec Baldwin troll his wife Hilaria’s Spanish accent seconds after she publicly snapped at him?
âAlec finds Hilaria captivating and he loves that she can take his humor because Alec is never reserved in anything he does and vice versa.
For some, the thought of constant tussles with a partner is exhausting, but not for the A-list couple who reportedly âlove challenging one another.â
âDon’t get it twisted, there are always fireworks between them, it is what makes them tick. They love challenging one another.â
They later mocked the response to the interview in an Instagram post in which Hilaria accused her husband of âmanterruptingâ as he apologized for his behavior.
Alec admitted in the clip that he suffers from ‘correctile dysfunction.’
The video saw them engaging in a patronizing back-and-forth, with the yoga teacherâturnedâreality star cuing up her husband’s responses.
‘And that is called â what’s the word of the day?’ Hilaria began after the audio had ended, setting Alec up to wearily reply: ‘Manterrupting.’
‘So, the whole point is that we interrupt each other all the time,â Hilaria finished as they concluded the video with a kiss.
The couple, who married in 2012, have history with public spats. Back in 2021 Hilaria was branded ‘a desperate attention-seeker’ after interrupting Alec’s press conference about Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins’ death, prompting her movie star husband to glare and snap at her.
During the impromptu talk with press, which took place just ten days after the incident on the set of the movie, Hilaria repeatedly barged in, paced in front of the camera, and scowled at the reporter, while making a show of filming the exchange on her iPhone.
The couple recently welcomed cameras into their home for TLC reality show, The Baldwins, on which Hilaria addressed the controversy surrounding her ‘fake’ Spanish accent.
The series gave an insight into their life with seven children: three daughters, Carmen Gabriela, MarĂa LucĂa Victoria, and Ilaria Catalina Irena, as well as four sons Rafael Thomas, Leonardo Ăngel Charles, Romeo Alejandro David and Eduardo âEduâ Pao Lucas.
Alec is also has daughter Ireland Baldwin with his ex-wife Kim Basinger.
Last year, Alec’s involuntary manslaughter trial was dismissed after he denied ever pulling the trigger on the revolver that fired a single bullet into Rust director Joel Souza’s arm and fatally punctured cinematographer Halyna Hutchins’ chest in 2021.
On January 9, he filed a civil lawsuit against the Rust case prosecutors, investigators, and commissioners for defamation and malicious prosecution and civil rights violations due to ‘intentionally mishandling evidence.’
