People have slammed Alec and Hilaria Baldwin following the pair's announcement of an upcoming reality show together.
Taking to their Instagram page, the pair announced that they would be launching the show together.
The show will follow the family and take a look at their 'ups and downs' as they raise their seven children together, with the eldest being just ten years old.

An announcement for the series said: "In this TLC follow-doc series, Alec and Hilaria invite viewers into the home they share with their seven growing kids.
"For the first time, they're opening up their family lives and bringing everyone in to join in the non-stop love, laughter and drama."
Alec Baldwin said: "We're inviting you into our home to experience the ups and downs, the good and bad, the wild and the crazy."
But while the pair may have been hoping to promote their show, the announcement went down like a lead balloon amid the ongoing controversy around the Rust shooting.
Baldwin is currently facing a charge of involuntary manslaughter over the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins - when a gun he was holding accidentally fired on the set of Western film Rust.

It is being alleged that Baldwin, who was also named as a producer on Rust, had shown ‘total disregard or indifference for safety’.
Baldwin pleaded not guilty to the charge, and the trial is expected to begin in July following jury selection.
Speaking about his upcoming reality show, one social media user wrote: "Um, Alec? Is now really the best time for this?"
Another simply said: "I wish they wouldn't do this!"
A third also referenced Baldwin's upcoming trial for involuntary manslaughter, posting: "Anything to make people forget about the court case, I see."

Comments on the Instagram post have since been limited.
Rust armourer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was recently convicted of involuntary manslaughter over her failure to make sure the weapon was safe before handing it to Baldwin.
Gutierrez-Reed, 27, was handed a sentence of 18 months in jail following her conviction.
Speaking at her sentencing, Santa Fe judge Mary Sommer said: “You were the armourer, the one that stood between a safe weapon and a weapon that could kill someone.

"You alone turned a safe weapon into a lethal weapon. But for you, Ms. Hutchins would be alive, a husband would have his partner, and a little boy would have his mother."
UNILAD has reached out to representatives of Alec and Hilaria Baldwin for comment.
