Speaking to Willow and Jada Pinkett Smith on “Red Table Talk” in late April, Ireland Baldwin said that she knows her dad Alec Baldwin is still struggling after the “Rust” tragedy. “It’s so heartbreaking,” she said (via New York Post). “My dad is suffering tremendously and I love him and I can’t imagine what he feels like and what’s running through his head but the entire situation is just so devastating.”
Ireland also admitted that immediately after the fatal shooting, she was in “full defense mode” for her father, because she was angry with people’s harsh responses. (Donald Trump Jr. was among those to criticize Alec publicly, for example. Meanwhile, George Clooney’s reaction even prompted a response from Alec.)
We’ve come to expect that kind of no-holds-barred public response from Ireland. In the same interview, she opened up about her past eating disorder, her anxiety, and growing up with famous parents. On her social media, she’s gotten real with fans, followers, and trolls about her body image, getting cosmetic procedures, and her boyfriend. People are always gonna be curious, so why not give them what they’re asking for, anyway?
