Alec Baldwin was using a prop gun on the set of โRustโ in New Mexico in October when he allegedly accidentally fired the weapon, killed the film's cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, and wounded its director Joel Souza.
Now, the Hollywood actor is denying that he ever pointed the gun at anyone and fired it, and he has now blamed Trump supporters for the entire incident.
โI never once said, never, that the gun went off in my hand automatically,โ he said. โI always said I pulled the hammer back and I pulled it back as far as I could. I never took a gun and pointed it at somebody and clicked the thing.โ
Now, Baldwin is even claiming that Trump supporters are behind the fatal shooting in an accusation worthy ofย Jussie Smollett. Baldwin referred to Trump's comment that โHe [Baldwin] probably shot her [Halyna Hutchins] on purpose.โ
โAlec Baldwin says Donald Trump incited his January 6th mob to murder him โฆ by falsely claiming the actor intentionally fired the shot that killed the cinematographer on the โRust' set,โ TMZย reported.
โBaldwin told CNN Trump's comment โ that โHe [Baldwin] probably shot her [Halyna Hutchins] on purpose' was itself a trigger for his mob to put a target on his head,โ the report added.
โHere was Trump who instructed people to commit acts of violence and he was pointing the finger at me and saying I was responsible for the death,โ he added.
He also said the stress from the incident has โtaken years off my life,โ and added, โIf I didn't have my wife, I don't know where I would be right now โฆ If I didn't have her, I probably would have quit, retired, gone off, you know sold everything I owned, got a house in the middle of nowhere and just you know did find something else to do, sell real estate.โ
No one has been charged for the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins on the set of โRust', and investigators are seeking out whoever put the live round in the chamber.

OK then blame the Outer Limits & Twilight Zone
Alec Baldwin just confirmed he is an idiot. The gun was in his hand pointed at the woman when it went off. How can he say he never pointed it at anyone? Thats like blaming the gun for taking on a life of its own. Or the car hit the pedestrian on its own. (Not my fault)
Wow, how deeply pathetic he is! First, if President Trump really had all the mindless followers Baldwin claims and the tremendous power and influence over them as he claims, Baldy would be history. Snap! Gone.
The only reason he still has his wife is because she is a lying, phony POS, too, and I doubt anyone else is even interested, and she should probably count herself lucky that even a sleazeball putz like Baldwin wants her.
Yes Alec, you are the Victim Here. Narcissist much?
Out of curiosity, whatโs his party affiliation? That explains a lot.
leftist excuses……..”not my fault”……..with blood on their hands…..
I own one of these single action revolvers. It has a very short trigger travel. I can see how an ignorant/irresponsible person would hold these guns with the trigger pulled. Pull back the hammer, let it go, surprise, it fires.
I suspect this has to do with the unions. Stars/actors can’t be bothered with gun safety; deligate it to someone else.
Truth; the last person to hold the gun is responsible.
He is such an idiot. I have a news flash for him: Trump followers aren’t “triggered” like snowflake libs who need safe rooms when their feelings get hurt. . . . . . . .
What a looser
there’s the alec we know–irrelevant irresponsible bloviating ignoramus. should have quit when he was still pretty like his younger brother did. . .
I’m sorry, Baldwin. That incident was not about you. You’re NOT the victim.
This man is clearly one delusional narcissist. That old comedian Flip Wilson was more honest: ‘The Devil made me do it!.
