Family of Halyna Hutchins Files Lawsuit Against Alec Baldwin and Others Involved in the Production of “Rust” Over Fatal On-Set Shooting

A new lawsuit has been filed against actor and producer Alec Baldwin and several other parties involved in the production of the 2021 movie “Rust” over the shooting on set that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Attorney Gloria Allred announced the filing of the suit on Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court on behalf of Hutchins’ father, Anatolii Androsovych; mother, Olga Solovey; and sister, Svetlana Zemko.

The lawsuit alleges battery, negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and loss of consortium. Allred explained that the last claim seeks to recover compensation for damages to certain relationships that are mutually dependent.

At a press conference, Allred said that the lawsuit is a result of the damage done to the family’s relationships. “It’s clear to us that the relationships of all of our clients have been damaged and that they will not be able to enjoy life in the same way as they did when their precious Halyna was alive,” she said.

The family is seeking unspecified damages and a jury trial. Baldwin has yet to comment on the lawsuit.

Halyna Hutchins was a beloved cinematographer whose death has left a lasting impact on the film industry. Her family is now seeking justice for her passing and the emotional distress it has caused. The outcome of this lawsuit will be closely watched by many in the industry and beyond.
