Alec Baldwin Alec
Actor Alec Baldwin  discussed rampant allegations of sexual misconduct with Megyn Kelly on her NBC morning show Thursday and stated that  while many perpetrators have admitted their guilt  there are innocents who stand accused of sexual impropriety.
Earlier this week   Baldwin  shared a Twitter update calling out late-night TV hosts â such as Stephen Colbert and John Oliver â over their propensity to act as figurative grand juries with regard to targets of sexual misconduct allegations.
 Baldwin  tweeted Wednesday: âTalk shows were once promotional pit stops for some blithe chit chat about movies  etc. Now the likes of @iamjohnoliver and @StephenAtHome have flipped that and they are beginning to resemble grand juries.â
What did  Baldwin  say to Kelly?
 Baldwin  told Kelly that  he  stands by  his  tweet and added that  he  doesnât want to âsee people who are innocent get into trouble.â
âI do find that  that whole issue  which is a big can of worms to open up really  it is really  really tough  because you certainly want to see everyone who is guilty of something  who have done bad things  wrong things that hurt people  you want to see those people get punished â  Baldwin  explained. âBut I donât want to see other people get pulled into that who â¦ thereâs a lot of accusations and no proof yet  I donât want to see people to get hurt.â
 He  added  â[People] think that those hosts of those shows are perfectly â not only within their rights â but itâs very attractive or very necessary for them to be pressing this cause. I just donât want to see people who are innocent get into trouble.â
 Baldwin  pointed to embattled film producer Harvey Weinstein and the plethora of accusations laid against  him .
âLike Weinstein  for example  is in a rehab hiding behind millions of dollarsâ worth of lawyers â  Baldwin  explained  âand I want to see the people who really did something get convicted.â
 He  added  âI mean I want the people who are in the wrong  I want them to be punished  but I donât want to see innocent people get hurt either.â
