Alec Baldwin vows to “expose” the truth of ‘Rust’ shooting: “There’s more to come”

Alec Baldwin has said there’s more to come out about the fatal shooting on the set of Rust in 2021, despite a case against the actor being dismissed in July.On October 21, 2021, Baldwin discharged a revolver used as a prop and was unaware that it had been improperly loaded with live ammunition, resulting in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.In a 2023 trial, the 30 Rock actor was charged with involuntary manslaughter in a case which was then dropped, and was tried again in 2024 but the case was dismissed with prejudice after his attorneys revealed that the prosecution and the local sheriffs had concealed evidence.Meanwhile, armourer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in March and sentenced to 18 months in prison the following month.A post shared by Lemonada Media (@lemonadamedia)On Monday (December 16) Baldwin said on David Duchovny’s Fail Better podcast that “there is more to come” regarding the incident, adding: “The truth of what happened has never been told.”He continued: “There’s more to come, but the more to come is now my effort, and it’s going to be undeniably a successful effort, to raise and to expose what really happened.

I was counterpunching. I was on the defensive. I was being accused. I was being indicted.”Baldwin also said that the mainstream media “suppressed every story” that could have helped exonerate him, yet “amplified every story” that portrayed him in a negative light in the years since Hutchins’ death.He added: “We have more shit that’s going to come out in ensuing legal filings and so forth.

These last three years, people have just dined out. Because in this country, when people hate you on that level, they want three things.
