Ireland Baldwin Shows Love For Father Alec In Wake Of 'Rust' Film Set Shooting
Ireland Baldwin continues to show some love for Alec Baldwin as the actor deals with threats and hate messages online in the wake of the fatal shooting on the set of "Rust." Ireland took to Instagram Wednesday to share a screenshot of a comment from a fan and reflect on how her dad made her feel welcome on sets as a child.
In her Instagram post, the 26-year-old model shared a comment from a fan who recalled their experience working at a company that produced Alec's movie "Thomas and the Magic Railroad." The fan said Alec only had one simple request at the time: to have milk and cereal in his hotel room each time his daughter would visit the set of his film.
"That was it. That was the whole rider," the fan noted. "I'll always remember that."
After sharing a screenshot of the comment, Ireland expressed her appreciation for her dad's sweet gesture.
"Amongst some of the most abhorrent and threatening comments, emails, text messages, and voicemails I've been getting, this beautiful comment stands alone," she captioned her post.
She also took a swipe at those who have been leaving her hate comments on social media, writing, "I know my dad, you simply don't. I love you, Dad."
Ireland's post comes five days after she revealed on social media that reporters have been reaching out to her for comments regarding the "Rust" shooting incident involving her father. In a since-expired post on her Instagram Stories, she shared a message from an unidentified freelance journalist, calling it "despicable and insensitive."
"To anyone who's been giving out my number, please lost it and don't contact me again," she wrote at the time. "My love and support go to Halyna Hutchins' family and friends. Sending healing thoughts to Joel Souza. And wishing I could hug my dad extra tight today."
Alec Baldwin accidentally killed the director for cinematography of "Rust" after the prop gun he was holding suddenly discharged during rehearsals Thursday. An investigation of the shooting incident is underway.
