Alec Baldwin Speaks Out After 'Rust' Production Fined After Halyna Hutchins' Death

Alec Baldwin is speaking out hours after New Mexico officials issued a fine to the production company behind "Rust." Halyna Hutchins was accidentally shot and killed on set of the film in October. "We appreciate that the report exonerates Mr. Baldwin by making clear that the believe gun held only dummy rounds. Additionally, the report recognized that Mr. Baldwin's authority on the production was limited to approved script changes and creative casting," Baldwin's attorney said in a statement released on Twitter on Wednesday.

Poor woman died looking at Alec Baldwin's face.

He's a phony.... remember that time his wife pretended to be Spanish and gave their kids Spanish names? That was Hillaria-s.

[Antonjlavey]

This dude need to be in prison now... if they let this go then we all need to sue him.

[paulg]

Alec and this production is entangled in various legal battles. He should refrain himself from talking about the incident or matters related to the production until legal issues has been settled.

So 135, 000 is the value of one life in New Mexico, what a joke, I own guns it is always always the responsibility of the person holding the weapon to make sure it is safe.

[brasshound]

So murder is punished with a fine, must be nice.

[stevenoberg]

Will Smith received more of a punishment for slapping someone. Makes perfect sense.

[TheQuietStorm]

I would sue Alec until all 10 of his kids had to pay."

[mexicanwhitedevil]

A fine in someone's pocket to not be charged with murder

[screamqueensfan]

He and the production team should be prosecuted.
Rest in peace girl...

[g-man]

Who's holding the gun is the shooter, there are safty protocols on gun safety, why would he not know?

[billyd]

He pointed a loaded weapon at another human being a d pulled...the... trigger! It's negligent homicide.

[paulheart]

I think Alec Baldwin has been so "UNAPOLOGETIC" and quite arrogant about this young woman losing her life to his negligence. What a vile man !!

[chrispilarski]

So who’s getting punished? Someone needs to be held accountable. Like the guys said, it was the management.

[lonewolffullmoon]

Take Alec to civil court!
It’s not over yet

A White Brooklyn Center, Minnesota Female Police Officer is doing 2 1/2 years for mistaking her side arm for a taser and fatally killing Black man Daunte Wright in a spit second decision, Baldwin had plenty of time to check revolver before pointing at a Human and pulling trigger

[bigyak]

When I was in high school a couple classmates were out late at night having a good time. One of them was hanging out the passenger window and a road sign hit him and killed him. Driver was charged with involuntary manslaughter & went to prison. (I know it's not the same situation but I think Alec should 100 percent serve a few years in prison. Hasn't he killed someone else before too? Idk) 🤔

[viviancaulkins]

What a joke. Baldwin got out of it. I knew it!

[RayJackson]

Okay, so as long as I believe the weapon holds "dummy" rounds I'm off the hook, got it.

[ablebaker]

Oh brother, he killed her. And is getting away with it.
If someone goes to a friends house. Friend tells you the gun is safe. You take it for granted and shoot someone. Gun was not checked by the handler that pulled the trigger. Oh it’s not my fault, I was told it was safe!
