Lawyering up this week was Hutchins’ husband Matthew Hutchins, who retained a law firm specializing in personal injury and wrongful litigation.
An attorney for first assistant director Dave Halls, who according to a search warrant affidavit handed Baldwin the weapon and informed him it was safe to use, claimed it wasn’t his responsibility to check the firearm.
Even Baldwin couldn’t resist chiming in, agreeing it was “bullshit” to suggest the production was chaotic and unsafe, as he shared a post from a woman in the wardrobe department, who called Hutchins’ camera crew members “jerks” and said it was Halls who “screwed up.”
Although no one has filed suit yet, it wouldn’t take a legal expert to suspect that one will come and when it does, it will be a legal showdown between several parties, including the handful of production companies involved, crew members, and possibly Baldwin—who is also a producer on Rust—himself.
