Hilaria Baldwin roasted as fans accuse her of staging paparazzi photos to promote her book: ‘So cringy’

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Hilaria Baldwin is facing backlash again, this time over what many see as a painfully staged bid for self-promotion.
Just two days after releasing her memoir 'Manual Not Included', the 41-year-old yoga instructor and wife of Alec Baldwin was filmed strolling through Manhattan with a copy of the book prominently on display, reports the Irish Star.
@rvealingthenarc Some people carry emotional baggage. Hilaria Baldwin carries her own book—perfectly angled for the paparazzi she definitely didn’t call. ‘Busy week!’ she says. Girl, you’re the press release. #hilariabaldwin #meghanandhilaria ♬ original sound - RVealingthenarc
Hilaria Baldwin exposed for staging paparazzi photos to promote her book
In the widely shared clip, Hilaria Baldwin appears in a sleek black mini dress and stilettos, clutching her memoir as a conveniently placed paparazzo asks how she’s feeling after its release.

“I’m feeling good, it’s been a busy week,” she responds, holding the book up for the perfect camera angle.
The video was originally posted on TikTok with the caption, “Some people carry emotional baggage. Hilaria Baldwin carries her own book.” It also quickly spread to Reddit and other platforms, where users ridiculed the encounter for appearing blatantly staged.

'Manual Not Included' offers a glimpse into Hilaria’s world — the chaos, the charm, and everything in between that comes with navigating life, love, and motherhood in the spotlight.
Hilaria opens up about the “relatable, hard-earned insights she’s gained from her experiences as an individual, a partner, and a parent”.
Her new memoir also touches on a feud with comedian and actress Amy Schumer.
