• The actor clapped back at the critique, telling the content creator to “go away”

Alec Baldwin is responding to a harsh critique of his Hamptons home.

The 11,000-square-foot Amagansett, N.Y., farmhouse was the topic of comedian Dan Mahboubian Rosen’s viral Instagram Reel last month, during which he gave a candid review of Baldwin’s home after it was featured in the New York Times in August. The property famously served as the backdrop for the 67-year-old actor’s TLC reality show The Baldwins, which also starred his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, 41, and their seven children.

Rosen begins the clip by reviewing the kitchen first, noting, “How does someone with so much money like Alec Baldwin live in a place like this?”

After pointing out how even the cat is falling asleep at the table out of boredom, he jokes, “It looks like they ran out of money doing set decoration for a Hallmark holiday film. There’s nothing here.”

“Did they get a Groupon to Pottery Barn? Everything is boring,” Rosen says of the living room. “This is where Barbara Bush would come to play bridge. Why are the lights in jail? Free the lights.”

He then points out the large painting of Hilaria hanging above the fireplace, noting that it’s “the only thing remotely with personality in this whole home.” The image is a recreation of a paparazzi photo from when Hilaria visited a bodega near their primary residence in New York City, according to the Times.

In the bathroom, Rosen heats up his evaluation by asking, “Why even feature this house?”

He continues, “What are you hoping to show with this home? This is mayonnaise. This is a mayonnaise bathroom. Like, what was on the mood board? A set of veneers?”

Of the entire property, Rosen says that the wooden jungle gym outside has “more personality than the whole home.”

“I would live in this jungle gym rather than the house,” he adds. “The kids know it, that’s why they’re all here. Because this is the place to be.”

The video has since racked up a number of comments from users who found the video amusing. However, Alec didn’t seem to find the skit as funny as his fellow commenters.

“Why don’t you go away?” he wrote, while his wife commented a single crying laughing emoji.

HGTV’s Ty Pennington even weighed in with a line he found especially comical from the video, writing “Mayonnaise” alongside a crying laughing emoji.

Alec first purchased the sprawling property for $1.75 million in 1995, according to the Times. He then expanded it in 1996 and had a 20-by-50-foot pool installed in the backyard.

After he and Hilaria wed in 2012, the couple added another 1,400 square feet of space. Today, the entire property includes five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a library, a basement movie theater turned playroom and an open-concept living area, all featured on The Baldwins earlier this year.

The couple put the home on the market for $29 million in November 2022. After cutting the asking price down to $19 million in January 2024, Alec starred in a promotional real estate video highlighting the property’s best features in hopes of finding a buyer.

The couple accepted an offer in 2024, but later decided to keep the home, the Times reported.

“But we keep coming back here because the kids are very happy. They love it here. When I go up to the kids and go, ‘Want to sell the house?’, they go crazy,’ ” Alec said at the time. “It’s a kid’s home that I never want to leave.”
