‘Dukes of Hazzard’ star John Schneider has given his response to Alec Baldwin’s revealing interview with ABC News about his prop gun incident on the set of ‘Rust’ which killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
John Schneider Slams Alec Baldwin’s ABC News Interview-‘This Is Absurd’
This interview was designed to allow Alec to get his side of the story across, without having constant speculation on what may have gone down.
Although that was a brave attempt by Alec to do just that, he inevitably left himself open to huge criticism if he did not get it right. And it looks as though John has been left feeling dissatisfied with what he had seen of Alec’s behaviour.
In a video on his YouTube channel, John said: “[The interview was] all designed to make us feel sorry for Alec Baldwin.
“Obviously this woman is still deceased. Her family is still without a mother, without a wife. This is absurd.” The primary reason why John was so outraged was due to the conflicting information that has been put out in the media as to what may have happened.
Clearly, that is something that may come across as suspicious. This only goes on to drag out the investigation, with no steps closer to getting to the actual truth. And John suggested that Alec was partly responsible for creating that feeling.
He added: “Three weeks ago, it was a prop gun. Four weeks ago, nobody knew how in the world this real weapon was loaded on the set. Today, he didn’t pull the trigger. What kind of idiots do you take us for?”
Unless this investigation gets to the bottom of the events and holds somebody accountable, people are going to lose confidence in the justice system. In addition, the longer this goes on, the harder it is for Halyna’s family to get some closure.
After all, she left behind a husband and a son who are both in mourning. John’s following comments confirmed as much: “Their family is not getting an apology, they’re not getting any – in my opinion – they’re not getting any justice, they’re not getting any answers.”
Alec’s interview has ended up causing more harm than good. If you liked reading this article, then check out our other features on the Daily Soap Dish.
