Alec Baldwin slams criticism over 'sexually suggestive' caption on pic of son and wife
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Alec Baldwin was disappointed that some individuals interpreted his Instagram caption, which was posted next to a photo of his wife and young son, as being "sexually suggestive innuendo." The 64-year-old actor responded to one of his followers in the post's comments section by declaring, "The US is a country fueled by hate."
Baldwin's controversial comment first read, "The old 'let me give you a back rub' ploy," which triggered a wave of criticism. It was posted alongside a picture of his wife, Hilaria, 39, getting a back rub from their son, six-year-old Leonardo. A person commented, "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." A second person wrote, "SexuaIizing children is always so weird but your own child? Yikes." Another person wrote, "That's a pretty f*****g weird comment to make on a photo of your son and his mother," while another referred to the word choice as "disgusting." Many other people begged the father-of-eight to stop being "problematic" and cease using social media at present.

Baldwin reacted angrily to the criticism, writing, "Potato chips to follow," and explaining, "I adjusted the text. I guess because... you know... there is so much of that Reddit trash out there."
