Watching Alec Baldwin’s interview with George Stephanopoulos is like watching Prince Andrew’s interview with the BBC, only its better rehearsed, Alec Baldwin is a professional actor who’s clearly talked to a sensitivity trainer, and Stephanopoulos obviously wants to cover for him and the film industry.

Stephanopoulos even names what happened a “tragic accident” from the very beginning of the interview.

And even then it’s obvious Baldwin’s lying. The only time he actually cries for real is when he’s reminiscing about making movies with Anthony Hopkins and Meryl Streep and he says “I used to love making movies *sob*” even though the whole conversation is about how he “allegedly” shot and killed a woman, Halyna Hutchins, on set in real life.

What does it tell us? It tells us that all the sensitivity training in the world, all the rehearsals, all the professional acting is never going to cover up toxic masculinity and violence against women.

Stephanopoulos asks him: “Do you feel guilt?”

Alec Baldwin: “No.”

Well, you wouldn’t feel guilt either if you’re a rich famous white male who thinks he’s entitled to do whatever he wants and makes excuses for himself no matter who gets hurt.

Then we find out why he’s really doing the interview: Civil lawsuits have been filed against him. I’m also guessing the movie industry is very angry with him right now which would all be behind the scenes, of course. He had to inform us that he’s making another movie in January just to show how no one is angry with him.
