The financial strain has become so severe for Baldwin that he's reportedly considering launching a reality show as a means to manage his expenses.
Ouch.
From Radar Online:
Besieged actor Alec Baldwin is reportedly thinking about launching a reality TV show because his legal bills are bleeding him dry, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Insiders claimed the embattled actor needs the cash after spending a pretty penny on legal counsel following his involvement in the 2021 fatal shooting that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his ill-fated western film Rust.
Since being accused of playing a role in Hutchins' death, Baldwin has spent a fortune on lawyers — and his financial bleeding could get worse as prosecutors consider refiling involuntary manslaughter charges against him.
Baldwin was initially charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter for Hutchins' death. The charges were dropped in April, however, prosecutors in the case noted that the investigation was "active and ongoing" and warned that future charges were a possibility.
"This nightmarish business has already cost him hundreds of thousands in legal bills — and while Alec's a wealthy man, he's not rich enough to continue paying lawyers and maintain the lifestyle he's accustomed to living," a source told the National Enquirer.
Making matters worse, Baldwin, 65, has had to put several projects on hold due to his legal issues.
According to the source, Alec Baldwin isn't completely broke yet, but he's definitely feeling the financial pinch and has begun to cut back on expenses. With his legal troubles potentially intensifying, he's probably bracing for the need for significantly more cash flow in the near future.
