Alec Baldwin blames almost everyone but himself in fatal 'Rust' shooting: new docs
His filing Friday also revealed that Baldwin made an “exhaustive effort” to get the crew back together to finish the doomed movie even after a flurry of lawsuits blamed him for mom-of-one Hutchins’ death.
Alec Baldwin filed legal papers March 11, 2022, denying any responsibility for shooting dead Halyna Hutchins.“As he had done throughout his career, Baldwin trusted the other professionals on the set to do their jobs,” Nikas wrote.Those whose directions Baldwin followed included Hutchins herself, the filing stated, calling it “the worst day in Alec Baldwin’s life” that “will continue to haunt” him.
“In giving and following these instructions, Hutchins and Baldwin shared a core, vital belief: that the gun was ‘cold’ and contained no live rounds. “No one understood what had happened,” the filing stated of the “panic and confusion” immediately after. But the star took no responsibility for failing to double-check that the gun had no live bullets in it — claimingordered him not to, saying “it was her job to check the gun — not his.”
It included screenshots of text messages showing the pair’s “warm” relationship, with Matthew telling Baldwin he was “very gracious” helping him and his 9-year-old son, Andros.Santi / SplashNews.com
