The Accident and Its Consequences

Alec Baldwin was on the set of the Joel Souza-directed Western in New Mexico when a prop gun accidentally went off, claiming the life of 42-year-old cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring Souza. This tragic event sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry and beyond. Baldwin has maintained that he did not pull the trigger and was unaware of the live ammunition in the gun. The legal proceedings that followed were a rollercoaster of events, with Baldwin standing trial in July. However, the judge dismissed the case against him due to withheld evidence from the prosecution.

Halyna Hutchins' family and friends are still grappling with the loss, while Souza battles with the physical and emotional scars of the incident. It is a story that has captivated the public's attention and raised important questions about safety on movie sets.

"We have more s— that’s gonna come out in ensuing legal filings and so forth," he said. Baldwin has been on the defensive, accused and indicted, but he is determined to raise and expose the truth.

Since the trial, Baldwin has faced a new chapter in his life. He is happy to have work coming his way again as he has seven children to support with his wife Hilaria. However, the legal issues have taken a toll on him and his family. His wife, Hilaria, has been a pillar of support throughout, and Baldwin expresses his gratitude for her. "She is the most spiritually ascended human being I’ve ever met, and she was kind to me and supportive of me," he said.

Alec and Hilaria Baldwin have a large family together, with daughters Carmen, 11, María, 3, and Ilaria, 2, and sons Rafael, 9, Leonardo, 8, Romeo, 6, and Eduardo, 4. The legal battles and the public scrutiny have had an impact on their family life. Baldwin shares his thoughts on how he has navigated these challenges while trying to keep his family together.

"You’re a guy, you fall in love with somebody, and you’re like, ‘What can I do to make my wife safe?’ And I couldn’t do anything to stop what was happening to me," he added. The family has faced a difficult time, but they are working through it together.
