Actor Alec Baldwin is under fire anew over a social media post featuring a photo of his wife, Hilaria, and one of his youngest sons, along with a comment he added that some found inappropriate.

A few days after prosecutors announced they planned to hold him responsible for the on-set shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in October 2021, Baldwin, 64, posted the photo to Instagram and was immediately set upon by followers, as reported by the UK’s Daily Mail.

“Under a sweet photo of his son holding his mother’s shoulders as they sat on their living room floor, the Golden Globe winner sent trolls into a frenzy as he suggested his little boy was pulling ‘the old let me give you a back rub ploy’ on mom Hilaria Baldwin,” the outlet reported.

“The public post came just hours after Boston-born Hilaria was ridiculed for slipping into an ‘offensive’ Spanish accent while asking photographers to leave her kids alone in the wake of Alec’s charge,” the outlet’s report continued.

Here’s the ‘offending’ photo:

The trolls lined up to take some cheap shots at Baldwin.

“Dude you need consult your team before you post man this does not help your case,” said one.

“Sexualizing children is always so weird but your own child? Yikes,” added another.

“Imagine being indicted for involuntary manslaughter and the first post you make after the announcement includes a picture of your attention-seeking wife, posed with your young son, and captioned with a sexually suggestive innuendo,” another wrote.

“Does anyone else think this is creepy af with the caption? Pic is sweet. Caption makes it weird,” said someone else.

“That is a super creepy caption wtf,” one user responded.

But others came to Baldwin’s defense and took umbrage at the direction the other users took with the photo.

“Can we just keep negative comments off his wall and let the man enjoy his wonderful wife and children. Everything is in the courts, it’s for them to decide. Let the man enjoy his family! Blessing to you and your family Alec,” one supporter responded.

“The fact that anyone would find fault with this photo or caption is ridiculous. This photo speaks of healthy love and connection,” said another.

“I am a mother, grandmother, great grandmother and soon to be a great great grandmother. It is shocking that an innocent pic of a child rubbing his Mother’s shoulder’s could cause so much nastiness. Nothing Mr Baldwin said was inappropriate. What is inappropriate is those on here who saw this as sexualization. Your minds are obviously in the gutter. Stop projecting your negative thoughts onto others. Mr Baldwin you have a handsome adorable 6 year old son. Please ignore the negativity and hate that some seem to have for you. I wish you a good day. Good luck and I pray you qin the manslaughter case against you. May you and your family be safe and blessed” one user added in an extended post.

Last week, New Mexico prosecutors decided to hold Baldwin responsible for the death of Hutchins on the set of the film “Rust.” Baldwin, in an interview, previously claimed that he did not pull the trigger of the pistol that fired the mortal shot.

“We want to thank the Santa Fe Sheriff and the District Attorney for concluding their thorough investigation and determining that charges for involuntary manslaughter are warranted for the killing of Halyna Hutchins with conscious disregard for human life,” the Hutchins family said via their attorney Brian J. Panish.

“Our independent investigation also supports charges are warranted. It is a comfort to the family that, in New Mexico, no one is above the law. We support the charges, will fully cooperate with this prosecution, and fervently hope the justice system works to protect the public and hold accountable those who break the law,” the family added.

Baldwin’s attorney Luke Nikas refuted the allegations, however, and predicted that his client would be found innocent, Access Hollywood reported.
