The Santa Fe Sheriff’s Office Released The Video Footage Taken After Halyna Hutchins Was Shot On The Set Of “Rust”
The New York Post says that yesterday the Santa Fe Sheriff’s Office released hours of footage from the day Halyna Hutchins was shot to death on the set of Rust. This includes film of Alec Baldwin rehearsing with the gun, armorer Hannah Guitierrez-Reed referring to herself as a “fucking failure”, loads of bodycam footage, and Alec’s police interview.
Alec Baldwin Believes A Recent Report Exonerates Him In The “Rust” Shooting
The investigation into the fatal shooting of director of photography Halyna Hutchins on the New Mexico set of the western film Rust is still very much underway, and so far there’s been no new updates on how that’s going. We’re not anywhere closer to finding out exactly who was at fault that day, and thus closing the book on a very sad event. But, if you ask Alec Baldwin, he’ll gladly tell you how none of it was his fault, despite the fact that he was holding the loaded gun that killed Halyna. And now, if you ask Alec’s lawyer, they too will be happy to point to a recent report on the matter, and explain, “See? Not his fault! Now let’s change the subject and talk about all those babies, shall we?”
Alec Baldwin Says His “Rust” Contract Protects Him From Any Financial Responsibility, And Implies That Halyna Hutchins Is To Blame
So far, it has felt like Alec Baldwin’s defense in the Rust shooting that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza was simply that it wasn’t his fault that the gun he was holding went off by itself. But Alec’s lawyers have recently filed an arbitration claim, and now their argument that he was being targeted with lawsuits because he’s a rich person doesn’t feel quite as terrible anymore.
Alec Baldwin Says The “Rust” Lawsuits Are Only Targeting Rich People
Nothing, and I mean nothing, is going to stop Alec Baldwin from speaking his truth — Not tact, not common decency, not his legal team, and certainly not his wife. Get Alec within spitting distance of a microphone and be prepared to be peppered with the truth. Well, his truth. The Hollywood Reporter reports that Alec’s truth is that the people who are filing lawsuits pertaining to the on-set shooting death of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and the wounding of director Joel Souza are targeting innocent non-negligent “deep-pocket litigants” like himself instead of “the people who likely seem negligent” but “have no money.” Poor people, just walking around all reckless and broke. Gross. Couldn’t be him. (only it could. And soon, fingers crossed!)
Alec Baldwin May Have Responded To Halyna Hutchins’ Husband Calling Him Out
Yesterday Halyna Hutchins’ widower, Matt Hutchins, went on TODAY to discuss his wife’s horrific accidental shooting death on the set of Rust. Matt, who’s one of the people suing Alec Baldwin for Hylana’s wrongful death, told Hoda Kotb that watching Alec’s December interview with ABC News made him feel “so angry.” Matt says he thinks Alec is playing the victim and shifting the blame to everybody but himself.
Alec, who was starring in and producing Rust, has yet to publicly respond to Matt’s interview (“Thank Christ” -Alec’s lawyers), but he did tweet an ambiguous Buddha quote. About how one should not “tell a deliberate lie, even in jest.” Later Alec tweeted a follow-up, explaining that, in Buddhism, “being truthful goes beyond simply not telling lies.” Heh? OK, Alec, what did Buddha think about punching a photographer? Refusing to stop playing Words with Friends so an airplane can take off? Leaving a voicemail calling your daughter a “thoughtless little pig”?
Halyna Hutchins’ Husband Is “So Angry” That Alec Baldwin Refuses To Take Responsibility For The “Rust” Shooting
We’ve heard a lot from Alec Baldwin regarding what allegedly went down on the New Mexico set of the film Rust, which left cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead after Alec’s gun was discharged while pointed at her. We’ve heard from Alec many times. Over and over. But now it’s time to hear from Halyna Hutchins’ widower, Matt Hutchins, who also happens to be one of the people suing Alec Baldwin for the wrongful death of his late wife. Matt sat down with Hoda Kotb and TODAY to discuss the horrific event that took his wife’s life. But also, he managed to find the time to let us all know what he thinks of Alec Baldwin’s damage control tour. And let’s just say, Matt’s not buying much of it.
