Husband Of 'Rust' Cinematographer Killed On Set Speaks Out 

16 yrs together. Wow, how old are they

Typical narcissist!

@@jj5709 who him? Or Alec?

His wife is the victim who wouldn't be angry when they lost the love of their life. @patient prosper .

@@neshkatama9083 of course.

@@pateintprosper9382 mr Baldwin.. he really can’t see beyond himself.

Agreed

Its a sad accident its not just Alex

@@cocomartin8269 but he is the one who refused weapons training and he pulled the trigger. It’s standard you check the chamber. He is absolutely responsible.

@@Adhara740 Yes. Interesting to find out what really happened,but there's more than Baldwin to blame. Armorer is just as guilty.

Totally agree with your comment.

@@tmartinez1948 Guess what! You don't have to. You don't have to comment back with your opinion or agreement on every little thing you come across online. Understand this.

@@tmartinez1948 Then leave your own comment detailing that, rather than mindlessly and uselessly going "disagree disagree disagreeeeee!!!!" someone else's. Can you imagine just doing what you did, in real life? How crazy people would look!

The little boy looks just like her too. That's so beautiful for him but it also has to hurt. Let's be honest.

BUT mATT DOESN T SEEM VERY sad

@@ausendundeinenacht1 He's a FATHER. He has to be strong and move forward for his child. Their child! What's he gonna do, have a breakdown and constantly be crying in front of his child? Get real!

Her life story keeps getting more and more exceptional the more we hear. What an unimaginable loss! For a woman from another country to accomplish so much in a competitive place like Hollywood and beyond is incredible and inspirational. So very, very sorry. Hope her name is never forgotten.

@@ausendundeinenacht1 How does one "seem" sad?

I no its so sad i hope and pray is son is strong amd he finds love again someday for is son to have a mom he deserve tbat he didnt deserve to lose is mom .

He has a new girlfriend now

His actions often are.

I agree. Alec was all about me me me.

@KLGoodman 100 million!? so does everyone who loses a loved one tragically deserve 100 million compensation or only if they work in hollywood?🤔

@KLGoodman arent they suing him? i’m sure they’ll get compensation, but regardless, a lot of families dont see nearly that much, if anything, following an accidental death. not saying her husband and son arent entitled to $$ - alec can certainly afford it -it’s just a weird price tag to put on a life.

And the social media antics of him and Hilary

Not just Alex there others

This is why we have Insurance, accidents are bound to happen as terrible as some of them are.

@@christiegroves please explain how a insurance policy can replace a loved one ???????

Alec should offer the family money to try to show his concern for this family. I know money won’t make up for their loss but it’s a way to begin to say I’m so sorry for that I did even if it was an accident. Accident or not is equal to by his hand. He s liable. Rest In Peace and prayers for her family. 🙏🏽

@@christiegroves I believe it was unintentional but I also believe Alec is liable to some degree and should offer this family money to help this family. It won’t make up for the loss but it’s a start to saying I’m so sorry 😢

It was part of a movie script Baldwin was in.

@@camillehill8795 false. The scene was a "pick up" shot & not required. AB even said the part might be edited. It was not a script 📔 scene.

Exactly, my father always said it is the empty gun that kills.

@@DavidLLambertmobile but whether or not the scene was going to make the final cut is besides the point. The point is he was filming a scene in which he was instructed to point the gun at the camera.

Ironically it is the cinematographer who maps out each scene and camera angle. It was Halyna who instructed Alec to point the gun in her direction. They were both under the assumption that the gun was cold.

Anyone else would be facing criminal; charges, perhaps murder. But Americans love our movie stars. Watch that first interview with police. It was no interrogation. Baldwin could not remember Halyna's name, she was the blond camera girl. But he told the policewomen, "I am not even a gun person. I don't have guns in my home (homes?)" He's not a gun person just a gun expert. He is an anti-gun activist but he does not even observe basic gun safety that they teach boy scouts? And this was his own film.

He was sued and he will be prosecuted!

lol-- yah right@@Juke582

His lawyer coached him to keep his mouth shut. Then coached him to say no guilt ..

He comes across like a psychopath to me.

@@bohoxplorer840 They coached him to keep his mouth shut yet he did an interview that millions watched?

@@cgh7337 Quite. And much of what he said didn't sound like lawyer coaching. Baldwin went off-script. Cos he's a narcissist and actor who thinks he can convince the world he was the victim. Halyna's husband has so much dignity and class. Heartbreaking

@@herbertlongfellow7702 I agree. Baldwin, I suspect, from his roles and behaviour has a power complex: he feels he can do or say anything and, if it goes bad, can and will get away with it. He seems to be a bully, who can act as the victim when he feels the need to. I didn't like him as an actor and, because of how he has behaved on set with total disregard for safety of crew members and in the aftermath of shooting Hitchens, I don't like him as a man either.

Shooting Ukrainians with immunity by Russia was started by Baldwin.

@@JohnLloydScharf Tf?

@Manfred Richard I thought about that and how he wrote a letter to a cop asking how it felt to shoot somebody. Alec Baldwin is a bully. His behavior is atrocious & has been for forever.

As Alec BALDWIn reports hes getting a nice other home in Vermont so he can be in peace! While he evades the unintentional murder of a human being! He did cal her husband for a while thinking he would evade his legal wrath, Alec was dead wrong.

@@mariapadilla7501 Are you high? Baldwin ain't responsible. He listened to the woman who was killed. She told him to point the gun and where to point it. The person who brought live ammo onto the set is responsible. Without that action the woman is alive today.

@@drexlspivey3047- Alec Baldwin will NEVER admit to being at fault in this wrongful death action. That isn't his style and certainly he doesn't wish to go to prison for something he did. He will continue to tap dance out of the way of charges as long as he can until they finally overtake him.

@@mariapadilla7501 What a narcissist for real... that’s freaking disgusting. I hope he gets charged.

@@drexlspivey3047 EXACTLY

Matt?

@@usernameisusername Matt Hutchins ….. “Husband of Rust Cinematographer”

Why is he working for Alec then? Something just doesn't add up about this whole thing.....theres more to this story than a simple accident IMO!

When are they coming to dinner at your house ? You use their first names like you know them. Maybe you can take the guys kid to a ball game sometime since you're so close.

@@borntobewild9056because when he settled he got to be the producer of the movie

Not just Alec...what about the chubby girl in charge of loading the gun ??? She's really responsible.

They wanted to save money. Idiots. Im sorry to tell your friends are having such a hard time.

Like Alec???

@KLGoodman - I'm not a Baldwin fan, but he's an actor that was handed a gun and was TOLD IT WAS SAFE. You know how many times that happens on a set? The one place people should not be cutting costs - is the weapons team.

@@makeupchick9544 you're right. Alec Baldwin is just a brainless actor. He can't be expected to use common sense.

@@makeupchick9544 he also told police detectives in his interrogation video that he was asked if he wanted to check the gun himself and he declined. Union and sag filming rules dictate that anytime a firearm changes hands on a movie set it is to be inspected by the actor at the direction of the armorer. Hannah Gutierrez Reed deserves a department of corrections number due to her criminal negligence in this instance

Alec Baldwin portrayed himself as a victim and his Spanish wife kept posting pictures of herself with her kids and Alec showing off her happiness after the tragedy ... How can you brag about your family when your husband just destroyed one ? They have zero decency and respect for the victim. Incidentally I saw the first interrogation of Baldwin by Santa Fe police, they sent in their weakest detectives to question him. It was pathetic. Baldwin had not even learned Halyna's name yet, and called her the blond camera girl.

1. Treat every firearm as if it’s loaded 2. Do not point a firearm and anything you are not willing to destroy 3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire 4. Know your target and it’s surroundings While the live round does need to be addressed, it would have been irrelevant had Alec Baldwin not blatantly disregarded firearm safety…for someone who is so outspoken against them, he sure doesn’t know a lot about them….that’s ignorance and pretty think ignorance at that

In a wait yes but in a other wait he hade to come vlean and tell the truth even it looks bad . Its not just is Fault it was a accident . Its the groupe that brought in does gun there was two

Well said @zzzz

alec ate a nice expensive pie and ribeye right after that and is pry doing the same now whatcha talking about? def not on his side

Someone actually tried to say that Baldwin was a nice guy for reaching out to Matt. Like- of course he reached out! He needed to butter him up and ensure he wouldn’t be sued into oblivion. It’s amazing how naive some ppl are- esp about BALDWIN, a known narcissist!

naveah

How? Did he know the bullets were real????

@@JMthdjhgbnjk ask him.

@@ruthmelicharles5062 it his responsibility to perform and other members of the crews responsibility to ensure that.

Alec Baldwin is doing a coverup.

But the Alec Baldwin was getting wrongful heat from the media and everyone, why can’t he be heard? He coulda done a small interview and it would still have been news, anything he said would have been big news and that’s not his fault. What’s wrong for him expressing himself? Matt is a moron for blaming Alec at all

He didn’t even know her name. The first police interview after the accident Alec referred to her as “the blond camera woman”…..

Haha! True

Ouch but frrr

I don't stand behind Alec Baldwin he killed an innocent woman a family woman mom he gets no sympathy from me and anyone else who stand with Alec Baldwin gets no stand and no sympathy from me

@@HawkTHSS2893 Reread the sentence a few times till it makes sense....trust me, the commenter on the thread feels the same way. He was being ironic

@@HawkTHSS2893English must not be your first language aye???

Its a sad tragedy and a very sad accident that shouldnt og happend

Dave Halls has had issues on other sets too

Ironically it is the cinematographer who maps out each scene and camera angle. It was Halyna who instructed Alec to point the gun in her direction. They were both under the assumption that the gun was cold.

What did Alec Baldwin do wrong?

He didn't know the gun was loaded so it wasn't reckless because he didn't know

@@jessicaburns2266 4 basics of gun control that everyone is suppose to learn. Treat every gun like it's loaded. Never point it at anything you don't intend to destroy. Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you're ready to fire. Be aware of what's in front of and behind your target.

@@jessicaburns2266 I agree. He thought the gun was not loaded.

@@marydambrosia3581 that’s no excuse. He was negligent.

There is a long list of actors that these accidents don't happen to. Nicholas Cage had a fit when there was recklessness. I understand that Alec had his buddy David Halls doing the armorer's job. Now Alec is blaming the armorer, after he had her ff doing other peoples jobs. Because they were short of funds. Yet half the cast and crew were bringing family members, nepotism, there was casual target shooting going on. Alec was flustered because he had promised a couple of his kids parts in the film as "extras." I give Baldwin credit for having six kids at his age. But I still blame Baldwin & David Halls.

Why would he take blame for something he didn't know about? He didn't know about the gun, so of course he's not taking responsibility for it. He didn't put that in. The gun

That was my reaction, too. I guess Baldwin deserves high praise for all his work through the years, And I give him praise for having 6 kids with his Spanish wife (at his age). But he is blaming everyone but himself. He forces the armorer to spread herself thin, giving her unrelated jobs while they are short staffed. Then his buddy David Halls hands him a hot gun without checking it. And Baldwin takes the gun without checking it. Both of them ASSUME that Hannah Gutierrez Reid had checked it. They had her off doing other things. Meanwhile in his interview with Santa Fe police, Baldwin says, "I am not even a gun person. I don't even have any guns at my house." Oh really, you anti-gun people are so safety-conscious, eh?

@@jessicaburns2266 He was holding it, whenever you hold a gun you need to take precautions, NO MATTER WHAT; PERIOD!!!!! It's sad because he did put trust in co workers.

I'm guessing because it wasn't yesterday and he obviously smiles remembering his lovely wife.

The DA is the one who decides whether or not to charge a person. Take a look at her recent press release and prepare to be disgusted. She tells blatant lies and it seems clear that she is taking Alec Baldwin's side.

The DA is now waiting for the full ATF, FBI forensics/police reports 🗂. That may be Apr or May. The state of NM labor safety 🦺 board is reviewing it too. AB may pay fines, money 💰.

I know, right?

🎯

Why? What's the issue with Hoda? I am not aware...

@@bluefamily3937 She accosts people with her hokey over the top comfortability,

@@JoshuaFazeli thanks..makes sense

very sad. but Baldwin expected that the gun was loaded with blanks. Something very bizarre about the whole situation.

@@camillehill8795 Exactly. I would think the prop guy would be responsible for making sure there were blanks and not bullets.🤔

He’s an actor not a prop worker there’s literally no possible way this was Alec’s fault

@@chris-kh7yr Exactly!

I agree it was not his responsibility, that is why everyone is assigned to different areas and tasks .I feel so sad for the loss of this lovely lady and her family may God bless them and hold her in his peace 🙏🏻⚘.

Ironically it is the cinematographer who maps out each scene and camera angle. It was Halyna who instructed Alec to point the gun in her direction. They were both under the assumption that the gun was cold. Those are the facts.

He didn't load the gun, he didn't intend to shoot anyone. Just because you feel someone is responsible doesn't make it a fact. He will forever live with the pain of killing a friend. Is he responsible for her death? No, the person that brought live ammo to the set is.

@@someone28 lmao. The gun doesn't goes off automatically. Guess who was pointing the gun at halyna? It's that old fart Baldwin!!!

@@someone28 Baldwin & Halyna were not friends? He just met her a day or 2 before filming started.

@@someone28 I agree with you! I'm not a fan of Alec Baldwin with his arrogant attitude that he has and things he says but in this case I feel this was absolutely an accident on his part and he had no idea there were live bullets in the gun when he was handed the gun by the amo assistant guy Dave Hallsey I believe his name is? So when he handed Alec the gun he told him it was a cold gun which means safe and he didn't feel the need to double check the gun since he took Halseys word for it and guess he had no reason to doubt it wouldn't be safe so the blame lies mainly with that young inexperienced girl who took care of the ammunition on the set? It was only her 2nd movie and obviously she was negligent with checking the gun as well as Hallsey? Alec will be held for some kind of negligence because he was the producer of that set and they had other problems on the set as well as they were trying to cut corners it sounds like hiring inexperienced people and disgruntled set employees who had walked off the job just a day or so before the incident so obviously they had problems there and Alec as the producer will suffer for that reason but to blame him for killing Helena as if he did it on purpose is not right in my opinion? But he should stay quiet and not put his foot in his mouth when he does interviews? It doesn't help his case but I'm sure he did not know the gun had live bullets in it? Sounds like he was maybe being set up by a disgruntled employee on the set? That could be? Hope they look into every avenue of this but it definitely sounds like a disgruntled employee who wanted to get back at Alec? Why else would there be live rounds in the gun? No reason other than a set up? But that young girl in charge of the ammunition definitely needs toe held accountable along with Dave Hallsey.

@@adriennebernardo1877 accident or not he's STILL RESPONSIBLE!!!! He still killed her!!!
