Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria are enduring a tense period as they navigate the upcoming trial concerning the tragic Rust shooting incident of 2021. Following the recent verdict of Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the armorer implicated in the accidental death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, the couple finds themselves grappling with heightened anxiety regarding Alec’s impending legal proceedings, a source close to the couple reveals.
The fatal incident occurred on the set of the Western film Rust, where Alec, 65, was holding a prop gun that discharged unexpectedly, resulting in the death of Hutchins and injuries to director Joel Souza. With Alec’s trial scheduled for July in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the Baldwins are facing a prolonged period of uncertainty and strain.
“The situation remains incredibly stressful for Alec and Hilaria,” discloses the source. “The recent verdict concerning Hannah Gutierrez Reed has only intensified their apprehension. While a different outcome may have alleviated some of their anxiety, Alec remains steadfast in his legal defense. Their primary desire now is for the trial to reach its conclusion.”
Despite the challenges ahead, Alec and Hilaria remain resolute in their pursuit of closure and justice. However, their ordeal is far from over, as Alec faces charges of involuntary manslaughter related to the Rust shooting. These charges were brought against him in January, leading to renewed distress for the couple.
In the aftermath of Gutierrez Reed’s trial, where she was found liable for her role in the tragic incident, Hutchins’ family expressed satisfaction with the outcome, emphasizing their commitment to holding all responsible parties accountable. Meanwhile, Alec and Hilaria continue to grapple with the emotional toll of the ongoing legal proceedings, hoping for a resolution that will bring them peace and closure.
As the Baldwins navigate this tumultuous chapter in their lives, they rely on each other for support and strength, facing the uncertainties of the future with unwavering resolve.
