Alec Baldwin claims the wrong people are being charged in lawsuits related to the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins on the Rust film set.
Speaking Saturday at the Boulder International Film Festival, Baldwin told moderator Rod Bostwick “deep-pocket litigants” are being targeted, rather than those who were potentially negligent in the incident.
“What you have is a certain group of people, litigants and whatever, on whatever side, who their attitude is, ‘Well, the people who likely seem negligent have no money and the people who have money are not negligent,’ ” Baldwin said, as reported by CNN.
Baldwin was working with a prop gun on the Rust set last fall when it fired, killing cinematographer Hutchins and wounding the film’s director, Joel Souza.
“All my career, without incident, I’ve relied on the safety experts there to declare the gun safe and never had a problem, and this happened,” Baldwin said.
“Of course, this is to me sometimes it’s, it’s so surreal, I don’t even know what to say,” Baldwin added. Hutchins’ family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit naming Baldwin, the production companies, producers, and other crew members. At least two of the film’s crew members have also sued Baldwin and other production figures.
Baldwin talked of the support he’s received, pointing to his 40-years in entertainment without any safety issues.
“When someone, whose job is to ensure the safety of a weapon, hands someone else, whose job is to be the secondary layer of protection for safety of a weapon, and they hand you that weapon, you declare that that weapon is safe,” said Baldwin.
“That’s how I’ve done it my whole life because you’re not allowed as an actor to declare the weapon … I mean, the joke is, you don’t want the actors doing the safety

This guilty POS certainly has some hutzpah.
He did not check the gun.
He cocked the gun.
He fired the gun.
He is the responsible party.
Civil courts will decide if you are liable or not liable Alec.
Prepare to defend yourself.
https://t.co/wzq6qFmKxk#BIFF2022 #BIFF2023 #AlecBaldwin gave this man a platform to spew lies about the litigants. They have sued those with money and without. He did NOT accept the gun from a weapon safety person. He pointed a loaded gun at others and pulled the trigger.— BottleGinge (@BottleGinge) March 6, 2022
Alec Buttwind blames the Keebler Elves...film at 11.
It wasn’t a “prop” gun....
It was a proper gun.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. What a jerk wad.
Wait, did Alec Baldwin not pull the trigger on the gun that killed the woman? The fault lies with everyone who handled that pistol that day.
Notice the classic sickness of the elites in the USA.
Other people and other groups are to blame.
Common problem for someone who is too arrogant to face their real problems.
looking at you Alec
Nope.
Unless there was some sort of mechanical failure the fault lies with the person who shot the gun.
Shield on the camera. No shield on the people.
Curious, don't you think?
Says the one person who's more guilty of negligence than the rest of them put together. He's just too genuinely stupid to realize how dumb that is.
Has this dirtbag ever accepted responsibility for anything he’s done in his lifetime?
Welcome to the real world.....
Let the court worry about it and shaddup-a-your-face, Baldwin.
It was a single action revolver.
He had to cock it first and then pull the trigger.
Negligence?
Like what pointing a gun at someone is?
And pulling the trigger?
That kind of negligence?
