Unscripted, but not unedited.
This is a movie scene itself

[roaringlion]

I stand behind Alec 100%, it's just too dangerous to stand in front of him.

[TREVORJB]

This is not an interview. This is a scripted production. Alec Baldwin being his typical self, refusing to take responsibility for his actions.

[troyzieman]

The person holding the gun is responsible for the safety of that gun . I don't care if it is a movie set, or any other activity.
Doing a safety check on that gun would of taken Alec Baldwin 30 seconds

[TrapsetJiuJitsu]

After Halyna fell from the shot, Alec Baldwin said no one had understood what had happened. He said in the interview, “The notion that there was a live round in that gun, did not dawn on me until 45 mins to an hour later.”

(Nate Dogg voice) HOLD UP!
What about the guy who got hit with the same shot by the SAME BULLET in the arm? Did he not mention to anyone about a damn bullet in his arm?

This interview will come back to haunt him when all the evidence is presented in court.

So after the shot he stands over her for 60 seconds thinking she fainted, meanwhile Joel is Screaming his head off from being shot and nobody is paying him any mind. But he didn't find out until the police station somebody had been shot

[dlldll]

He fake cries but is totally chill going through the motions of her last moments...

[estradamurcielgo]

When it’s called “unscripted” you know every question and answer was carefully planned in advance.

[supercat]

I’m not an anti-Baldwin person like some people are but how can you stand over someone shot for 60 seconds and not see blood

[jamiehoover]

This is a PERFECT example of why people are told" DO NOT !! " speak to anyone, especially the police, about a possible case without having your lawyer present .. I can't believe he is even doing this or no one stopped ummm, all this interview is about, is him doing self preservation of his image and ego.... i.e "damage control " ... it's pretty stupid, because now if he is eventually charged with involuntary manslaughter or some similar charge/charges, or even a civil case, everything he is saying in this interview will be admissible in court n can be used against him, and in my opinion from what I heard him say in this interview can be very damning against him.. I mean I don't believe I even heard him apologize, unless I missed it. Even if it were and most likely was an accident and it was myself, I know I'd be overwhelmed with grief and guilt regardless ... that poor woman lost her life, and left a husband and 10 year old son behind... he has got to hold some accountability in this situation because ultimately he was holding the gun and he is a seasoned actor and knows damn well that he should have checked the gun himself and showed everyone around him that it was deemed to be safe even though Dave yelled "cold gun" 3 or 4 times when he handed the gun to Alec... I've seen mostly all of his films and in a lot of them, he has used guns, so he absolutely 💯 should have known better. Ever since Brandon Lee was killed by a live round on the set of his movie "The Crow" ( bad ass movie btw) almost 30 years ago, the industry changed all the safety standards and regulations for every film involving weapons and how they are to be handled... this in my opinion was actually a rookie mistake and the armorer, Gutierrez (who actually is a rookie) dropped the ball right from the start, so they ALL have to be held accountable in some way for this woman losing her life.

[anonymous-oddo]

This interview was a terrible idea. He appears to not take ANY responsibility for this tragic death? None? Like…at all?? Alec should be advised NOT to make any public comment about this ongoing investigation/tragic situation.

[kape]

How is nobody talking about the george stephanopoulos glasses just poppin on and off outta nowhere

[johnnyluvsongwriter]

Damage control. Wow. He's literally blaming everything and everybody.

[richarddeveas]

Saint Alec Baldwin. Patron saint of the immaculate discharge!

[Alexandra-xtvf]

What happened after he shot them? He left? How did he not know immediately what happened? This doesn't make sense.

[unrealcolonelsanders]

Interesting that an actor has to pretend the gun snaps back when firing, but when firing an actual .45 caliber round he didn't know he fired a bullet until an hour and half later when it was shown to him. He truly is as smart as he comes across.. A blank has minimal recoil, a .45 live round... you definitely know it when there is 50-60lbs of recoil on that gun.

[americanpaisareturns]

The man has no remorse. He’s making it about himself. He’s playing the victim. It’s disgusting.

[darkprince]

I find it impossible to believe the words and tears of an actor, who is a professional liar by trade.

[Thebuird]

Ridiculous to call this “unscripted” like it’s the live tape. Was it a “real bullet?” “I can’t tell you that” Wtf? He didn’t know anyone was shot for an hour. Was there no blood? Both of them had internal bleeding? Joel couldn’t tell he was shot and say something? Wtf is this? I really hope there was footage. Even if it was an accidental discharge, they’re making this very suspicious
