Alec Baldwin may be showing signs of financial difficulties amid his ongoing legal battles.
Fox Business reported that Baldwin cut $10 million off the asking price of his Hamptons home, and is even paying for online ads to help find a buyer.
The property was originally listed at $29 million before dropping to $25 million. Today, the asking price is less than $20 million.
In a promotional video posted online, Baldwin said he bought the impressive property in 1995 and has built two extensions since then.
“I fell in love with this place the moment I came here because this is the former Potter farm family home and you can't have that anymore,” Baldwin explained. “You can't get this out here anymore.
“The meadow in front of my property is a reserve,” he continued.
“It's a very low-density area, and I love coming here. I'm always happy when I come here, especially this time of year.”
“I love it in the winter because it's so quiet and beautiful.”
Baldwin was charged on Friday with manslaughter in connection with the 2021 shooting death of cinematographer Halina Hutchins.
The tragic accident occurred during the filming of the movie “Rust” in Santa Fe, New Mexico. When Baldwin apparently fired a firearm intended as a prop, he wounded director Joel Souza and killed Hutchins.
The actor denies pulling the trigger and insists he only pulled the hammer of the gun, although prosecutors dispute that claim.
“Although Alec Baldwin repeatedly denies pulling the trigger, given the tests, results, and observations contained herein, the trigger had to be pulled or depressed sufficiently to fully fire the hammer of the cocked evidence pistol,” prosecutors wrote in October in the evidence presented. Or declining. To a grand jury.
Last year, Baldwin and the film's production company, Rust Movie Productions, settled a wrongful death lawsuit with the victim's family for an undisclosed sum, according to NBC News.
Meanwhile, Hutchins' family now says they “look forward to criminal prosecution” as they seek full accountability for her death.
“Our client has always sought the truth about what happened on the day Halena Hutchins was tragically shot and killed,” the family’s lawyer, Gloria Allred, said in a statement, according to the BBC.
“They continue to seek the truth in the civil lawsuit we brought against them, and would also like to see accountability in the criminal justice system.”
