‘Rust’ shooting: Halyna Hutchins’ family sues Alec Baldwin for negligence by slain

Alec Baldwin has been hit with yet another lawsuit, filed by parents and sister of Halyna Hutchins, accusing the actor and others of battery and negligence

Baldwin, 64, has been sued by Hutchins’ parents and sister, who claim that if the cinematographer were still alive, she would have moved them to the US with her when the war in Ukraine began.

On Thursday, attorney Gloria Allred said during a press conference that she had filed the suit on behalf of Hutchins’ parents and sister in the Los Angeles County Superior Court seeking damages from Baldwin and the producers and company behind Rust.

Allred also said that Hutchins’ family, who live in Ukraine, were extremely close to her and had been devastated by her death.

Hutchins, 42, died on the set of Rust in New Mexico on October 21, 2021, after being struck by a live bullet that Baldwin allegedly fired from a prop gun.

Joel Souza, the director of the film Rust, was also shot and injured but survived the incident.

Baldwin was charged last month with two counts of involuntary manslaughter over the shooting of Hutchins.

Hutchins’ husband, Matthew Hutchins, their son Andros and her estate sued Baldwin last February accusing him and the filmmakers of reckless behavior and cost-cutting that led to her death.
