Dukes of Hazzard star John Schneider slammed Alec Baldwin's teary ABC interview and cast doubt on the star's claim that the 'gun went off by itself.'
On Wednesday, the night before actor Alec Baldwin's sit down interview with George Stephanopoulos, Schneider posted an 18-minute long "video on YouTube titled 'Seriously Alec?' where he laid into the actor and claimed that the emotion showed in the interview's previews were ''bullsh**'
