Alec Baldwin gave his first television interview after the tragedy on the set of "Rust" in which the director of photography died. "I didn't pull the trigger on the gun that killed her," the actor told ABC News. “I would never point a gun at someone and I would never pull the trigger, ever,” he added.
In his version, "someone" would have put "a 'live' bullet in the weapon, a bullet that didn't even have to be in the area." Then moments of emotion when the victim was spoken of: “She was adored by everyone who worked with her, she was loved by everyone and admired. This doesn't seem real to me. I keep thinking about it. What could I have done? ''
And while a new lawsuit is pending against Baldwin, script supervisor Mamie Mitchell argues that the script was not supposed to have any shots fired. The woman, who was injured in the same incident, told the Hollywood Reporter that she suffered from a form of "emotional distress", along with other ailments.
"It was discussed - he explained - that there would be three close-ups after the lunch break, one of Baldwin's eyes, one of the bloodstain on Baldwin's shoulder and one of Baldwin's torso as he reached for the holster to take the gun. Nowhere in the script did it say that defendant Baldwin should have shot. "
