Alec Baldwin speaks for the first time in detail about the fatal shots on the “Rust” set: “I didn’t pull the trigger”

Regarding the supposedly inexperienced Gutierrez Reed, he said he assumed she was qualified for the job. Her attorney’s suspicion that the tragic accident might have been an act of sabotage, he denied: “It’s a huge accusation that someone came in and did that. For what purpose? To attack someone? To discredit someone “It is very likely that it was an accident.” Nevertheless, he has sympathy for the two: “I don’t want to see Hannah suffer, and I don’t want Halls to suffer either.”

He is in close contact with the family of the deceased camerawoman. “You were as nice as you could possibly be,” said Baldwin. “He [Hutchins Ehemann Matthew Hutchins, Anm. d. Red.] said: ‘Well, I think we both have to get through this together.’ “(Also interesting: This is how Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner react to the tragedy with eight dead at the Astroworld Festival)

Hollywood star does not plead guilty

“Someone is responsible for what happened and I can’t tell who it is, but I know it’s not me,” said Baldwin. When asked if he expected to be charged, he replied, “I’ve been told by people in the know […] that it is highly unlikely that I will be prosecuted. ”

What happens to his career is secondary: “My family is all I have. To be honest, I don’t give a shit about my career.” Still, he doesn’t feel guilty, he stated and confessed: “I might have killed myself if I had felt responsible.” According to his own statements, he cannot imagine that he will ever play in a film again in which he has to use a weapon.
