Gloria Allred, family attorney for Halyna Hutchins’ family, slammed Alec Baldwin for announcing the launch of his reality television show one month before his involuntary manslaughter trial begins.
Baldwin’s new show centers around his role as a family man, as cameras capture his interactions with his wife Hilaria, and their seven children. Allred fired off on the timing of the show, alleging that this was a strategic public relations move on Baldwin’s part, in an effort to restore his image in the public realm.
“This appears to me, to be a calculated and cynical public relations move to try to influence the jury pool in New Mexico to think of him as a sympathetic family man rather than as the killer of Halyna Hutchins,” Allred told TMZ.

She noted that Hutchins was “the beloved daughter of our clients Olga Solovey, Halyna’s mother, Anatolii Androsovych, Halyna’s father, and Svetlana Zemko, Halyna’s sister. Hutchins is also survived by her husband, Matthew, and their young child, according to TMZ.
