Alec Baldwin plans ‘to expose what really happened’ in Rust film set shooting

The actor told a podcast that media reporting of the incident in which cinematographer Halyna Hutchins died had suppressed the truth

Baldwin was charged with involuntary manslaughter after a prop pistol he was holding on the film’s set in New Mexico discharged a live round, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. Assistant director David Halls pleaded no contest to negligent use of a deadly weapon, while the film crew’s armourer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was sentenced to 18 months in prison after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. Hutchins’ mother Olga Solovey, who has filed a civil lawsuit against Baldwin, announced that she would not attend the event either, saying that Baldwin has [refused] to take responsibility for [Hutchins’] death … [and] seeks to unjustly profit from his killing of my daughter.”
