Alec Baldwin sues Rust crew to ‘clear his name’ as he says fatal shooting ‘cost him roles’
Hollywood star Alec Baldwin, 64, is filing a lawsuit following the fatal shooting that occurred on the set of the Western movie Rust.The actor and producer is alleging negligence of several of the film's crew members while seeking to "clear his name."Alec filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday and named the first assistant director, armourer, ammunition supplier and prop master as defendants.Last year, a gun that Alec had been holding, went off during filming and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.The incident, which occurred on October 21 2021, also injured Director Joel Souza.Alec’s cross-complaint follows a lawsuit filed last year by the film's script supervisor, Mamie Mitchell. The civil suit accused Alec of "playing Russian roulette" by pointing a Colt .45 revolver at Halyna and accidentally killing her. Meanwhile, as reported by ABC, Alec’s attorney Luke Nikas of Quinn Emanuel, said: "More than anyone else on that set, Baldwin has been wrongfully viewed as the perpetrator of this tragedy."By these cross-claims, Baldwin seeks to clear his name and hold cross-defendants accountable for their misconduct."Authorities at the time confirmed Halyna had been killed by a live round inside the gun Alec held, which led to questions about how live ammunition had made it onto what was supposed to be a safe set.As questions are being asked about whether members of the crew took proper safety precautions, those named in the lawsuit have denied any wrongdoing. “There can be no doubt that others have suffered from Cross-Defendants’ negligence far more than Baldwin has,” the attorney continued. “Hutchins lost her life, and her young child lost his mother.”Halyna had one son, whom she shared with her husband
