Hilaria Baldwin has claimed husband Alec Baldwin is suffering from PTSD and has been battling it for a 'long time'. 'My husband is suffering from PTSD right now,' Hilaria, 37, said on Thursday, adding that it has been something he's dealt with long before the Rust shooting. 'It's something that is not just from what happened recently but he's been suffering from this for a very, very, very long time...' The post on Hilaria's Instagram Stories site comes as Alec shared an open letter from members of the Rust film crew and cast members on Instagram, hitting back at claims...

1. Alec said he and Halyna were new friends and collaborated frequently during the filming of Rust. "When I met her, I knew she had that spark," Alec described. "I knew she had that flint to her that she was going to get that day's work done and get the shots that she wanted." 4. During the scene Alec was shooting with the gun, the first assistant director allegedly declared "this is a cold gun." On film sets, that means there is no real ammunition in the gun. "When he's saying this is a cold gun, what he's saying to...

It's been a rough week for Alec Baldwin. The former Trump impersonator gave a questionable interview with ABC News, claiming he wasn't responsible for the gun that went off in his hand and killed a cinematographer. He deleted his Twitter account. And at some point in the middle, the District Attorney investigating what happened on the set of the Baldwin-produced movie Rust said that Baldwin is NOT in the clear. That's contrary to what Baldwin told ABC News. Obviously, the stress has gotten to him. When the New York Post's Jon Levin asked him how it was going, Baldwin freaked...

Alec Baldwin has a long history of fiery behavior. Alec Baldwin‘s arrest last week was far from his first scrape with authorities. The actor, 60, has a long history of fiery behavior, largely stemming from his contentious relationship with reporters and photographers. Here’s a look back at his history.

The actor, John Schneider, gives a brilliant analysis of the Alec Baldwin shooting using the same type of Colt single-action revolver. In the process, he explains gun safety, how to inspect such a weapon, and how the set of circumstances Baldwin says happened could not have actually occurred as claimed.

John Schneider: "Share this with your friends if they are still apt to believe that a handgun can load and fire itself." Video at link:

The New Mexico prosecutor overseeing the investigation into the “Rust” shooting said Friday that she is “exploring various legal theories” in the case, and has not ruled out any criminal charges. -snip- Lane Luper, the camera operator who walked off set with six others shortly before the shooting, also issued a statement on Thursday through his attorney, Jacob G. Vigil, responding to Baldwin. “Guns don’t just go off,” Luper said in the statement. “The single action Colt .45 revolver handled by Alec Baldwin required multiple active steps to discharge and kill Halyna Hutchins. The gun had to be loaded with...

"Any statements made on television during an investigation could result in unintended admissions that could be used against him later at trial or could prejudice the prosecutor against him," Fiset pointed out. "If statements relating to facts turn out to be disproved, it will hurt his credibility with law enforcement or at trial. His admissions that someone is to be blamed – but not him – could also potentially be used against him later in either a civil or criminal case if it is determined that he had some responsibility for set safety as a major producer of the film."...

He said that he advised Hutchins, “Now, in this scene, I am going to cock the gun.” “So I take the gun and I start to cock the gun. I’m not going to pull the trigger. I said, ‘Did you see that?’ [She said] ‘Well, just cheat it down and tilt it down a little bit like that.'” Baldwin said that the gun “ended up being aimed right below her armpit.” “And I...

To whom do liberals go when they want to tell their career-threatening stories to a sympathetic listener? Well, to be fair, they have several choices, but George Stephanopoulos is perhaps the favorite. So Alec Baldwin sought out Stephanopoulos to explain how he came to shoot and kill Halyna Hutchins. Today ABC News released a preview clip of that interview:In his first interview since the deadly Oct. 21 shooting, a tearful Baldwin told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos he has “no idea” how the live bullet ended up in the firearm.“The trigger wasn’t pulled. I didn’t pull the trigger,” Baldwin said in...

The Santa Fe Sheriff's Department said it is awaiting results from the FBI which would shed light on how the gun could have been fired, whether that was just pulling back the hammer – which hits the firing pin – just pulling the trigger or both. "Guns don't just go off," Sheriff Adan Mendoza told Fox News Digital. "So whatever needs to happen to manipulate the firearm, he did that and it was in his hands."

Various Tucker Carlson guests describe how our educational elites live in gated communities, have armed private security (so they don't have to dirty their hands with guns), favor open borders ("compassion" so they can have nannies for their kids going to private school away from immigrant kids, can have gardeners & servants), and despise the working people of flyover country with their guns & bibles. The "better people" favor gun confiscation, compassion for murderers, and abortion "rights". When Candace Owens roasted gun-controller Alec Baldwin for his fatal gun accident, I was against it because, how could Baldwin convert his wrong...

Alec Baldwin wept as he described accidentally shooting dead his cinematographer on the set of his film Rust during an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos. -snip- He insists that he never pulled the trigger but said it appeared to inexplicitly fire on its own. 'The trigger wasn't pulled, I didn't pull the trigger,' he said, often having to pause to collect himself, or wipe away a tear.

The weapons supplier for “Rust” told investigators he may have mistakenly provided the live ammunition that killed the cinematographer and wounded the director during a shooting on set near Santa Fe early last month.

Adam Bernstein was one of the directors working on the first season of NBC’s Tina Fey-created critical darling “30 Rock.” While filming a scene during the show’s first season, he held up his thumbs to frame a shot. For reasons unknown, this angered Alec Baldwin, who starred in the show as the hilarious Jack Donaghy, Vice President of East Coast Television and Microwave Oven Programming for General Electric. “According to [editor Doug] Abel, Alec turned to [Bernstein] and said that if he did that one more time, he was going to assault him. And he didn’t say it with a...
