Hilaria Baldwin, the spouse of Alec Baldwin, revealed how she and Alec have been dealing with the deadly shooting which took place on the set of “Rust.”
Fans Bash Hilaria Baldwin After Claiming She And Alec Are Not Ok Following Rust Incident-‘Neither Is The Lady That Got Shot’
The 38-year-old confessed that she and the 64-year-old actor are still facing difficulties more than 12 months after the sad incident that caused the demise of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
Hutchins, aged 42, passed away while Alec was handling a prop gun on the movie set. The film’s director, Joel Souza, was hurt as well. Baldwin has maintained that he did not pull the trigger of the gun.
The Medical Investigator’s Office of New Mexico ruled the shooting was unintentional. Nevertheless, prosecutors are examining the shooting to decide if any criminal prosecution should be pursued.
With that being said, there was a lot playing on Hilaria’s mind. In her comments, she said: “We’re not OK. We can’t be Ok. No one’s OK. It was and is a tragedy that nobody could ever have imagined.”
“Rust” is slated to start shooting again at the start of the year, with Halyna’s husband, Matthew Hutchins, as an executive producer. In the meantime, Alec recently initiated a lawsuit alleging negligence against the armorer of the movie and some of the staff working on the set, alleging that he had trusted them to make sure the film set was safe.
The fans on social media slam Hilaria’s comments. A significant proportion of people felt that the comments were in bad taste since there should have been more focus on the fact that Halyna’s husband and their child no longer have her alive. One person wrote: “Neither is the lady that got shot [is ok].”
It is going to take a lot of time for Alec to be accepted back into the public domain. And as soon as a ruling can confirm who is liable, then the better it will be for everyone.
