Rough night? Alec Baldwin is snapped looking unkempt and clutching tray of drinks hours after he was condemned for branding 'sex pest' NY Governor Andrew Cuomo's resignation a 'TRAGEDY'
Alec Baldwin was seen grabbing an iced coffee in the Hamptons just a day after he drew the ire of Twitter for supporting New York Governor Andrew Cuomo after his resignation over sex pest claims.
The normally well-dressed actor, 63, sported a scruffy silver beard, and appeared somewhat tired during an outing in the elite Long Island enclave on Wednesday.
Alec kept his look casual in a black t-shirt and light blue shorts. Baldwin was seen carrying a tray of drinks with grabs and what appears to be the remains of their breakfast. He was spotted with wife Hilaria, 37, who was seen wearing a gray flowing dress with her hair down.

The usual sleek actor was looking a bit disheveled and in need of a caffeine fix. After claiming cancel culture was exposing the shortcomings of politicians, Baldwin experienced loads of Twitter users bashing his support for Cuomo
Baldwin grabbed a coffee with his wife the morning after controversially tweeting support for Cuomo. Baldwin claimed cancel culture and party politics were what took the governor down.
The Boss Baby actor voiced his support for Cuomo, who is stepping down after an intense week of being pressured to resign due to sexual harassment allegations, on Twitter on Tuesday afternoon.
He claimed that cancel culture was exposing, isolating, and magnifying the shortcomings of politicians, despite Cuomo's 'shortcomings' being sexual harassment.

Baldwin, who is a Democrat, has previously teased the idea of running for office himself
Baldwin - a well-known Democrat whose biggest recent role was impersonating Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live wrote: 'Regardless of what you think of Cuomo, this is a tragic day.
'Party politics in this country draw ambitious but ultimately isolated, even socially maladjusted men and women who, given the current cancel culture, will likely have their shortcomings exposed and magnified,' he continued.
The 'sex pest' NY governor resigned on August 10 after an investigation found him guilty of sexual harassment
Alec Baldwin's tweet came minutes after Cuomo announced plans to resign following the release of a report from New York Attorney General Letitia James's office that found him guilty for sexually harassed 11 women and violating state and federal laws
Baldwin, who has publicly hinted at the idea of running for office himself, partnered with Cuomo's office last year for a public service announcement urging New Yorkers to stay home during the coronavirus pandemic.
However, many fans were disappointed with Baldwin's tweet, as well as former White House Press secretary under the Trump administration Sean Spicer, who said 'cancel culture is out of culture - but what New York Governor Andrew did was not a result of cancel culture or any culture - it was inappropriate and the idea you are defending says a lot'.
Other twitter users also responded to Baldwin's clear defense of Cuomo.

The 63-year-old actor did not comment on the allegations of sexual harassment against Cuomo, who is facing at least one criminal complaint after Brittany Commisso, an executive assistant who accused Cuomo of groping her breast at the governor's mansion in Albany, gave a report to the county sheriff on Friday.
New York's Attorney General Letitia James said she believed claims Cuomo had pestered 11 women, with two others coming forward since James' report was published last week.
It all led to Cuomo announcing earlier Tuesday that he is stepping down from his position as governor of New York, which will be in effect in two weeks.
Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul will replace Cuomo, becoming the first woman to serve as governor of New York, as she's scheduled to start running the state on August 24.

However, it's not the first time Baldwin has attacked cancel culture, previously saying that it was 'creating more problems than it solves,' according to the Hill.
'It's like trolling,' he said in an Instagram video shared back in March. 'It's like a giant, mile-long net and you're catching a lot of people, more than a few who deserve it, and more than a few who don't. Or they don't deserve to have their careers and their lives destroyed.'
The Beetlejuice star also defended Woody Allen and New York governor Andrew Cuomo in a lengthy 14-minute video on Instagram in March.

In the 14-minute video, Baldwin said he has experienced 'a few people going at me for defending people who have been accused of crimes…' to which he said: 'Well, I'm not defending someone who is guilty of something. I'm choosing to defend someone who has not been proven guilty of something.'
Regarding Cuomo, he added: 'The Attorney General is going to investigate accusations against a Governor. Then, and only then, can we talk about people resigning.'
Hilaria's heritage fell under question when a social media thread pointed out inconsistencies in stories she had told the media about her upbringing
In December of last year, Alec Baldwin’s wife, Hilaria, was subject to cancel culture, after being accused of cultural appropriation, and putting on a fake Spanish accent when speaking in English.
She was seen in a 2015 Today show clip seemingly forgetting the world 'cucumber' in a cooking segment, which became a social media focal point as the scandal contained to make headlines.
She told The New York Times of the scandal, 'There is not something I'm doing wrong, and I think there is a difference between hiding and creating a boundary.'
She eventually admitted that she grew up in Boston but spent time in Spain.
Her husband took to Twitter to call out social media users who want to 'destroy the undeserving and deserving alike.'
In a heated message, he wrote: 'Cancel culture is like a forest fire in constant need of fuel. Functioning objectively. No prejudice. No code.
'Just destroy. The deserving and the undeserving alike.'
