Alec Baldwin shares letter from Rust crew rejecting claims that the set was dangerous
The letter says that everyone involved has worked on chaotic productions, but “Rust was not one of them.”

It’s starting look more and more likely that we’ll never know exactly what led to or caused the deadly incident on the set of Rust, where a gun loaded with a live bullet was fired, injuring director Joel Souza and killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. But there have been a lot of conflicting suggestions for who, if anyone, should be held responsible.
Alec Baldwin, who was holding the gun when it went off, denies any responsibility and says he didn’t even pull the trigger, while others claim that the Rust set was already a mess even before any of this happened. Today, Baldwin shared a letter from the Rust crew rejecting the “public narrative” that the set was a “chaotic, dangerous, and exploitative workplace,” saying stories like that are just a distraction from more important things like “the memory of (DP) Halyna Hutchins” and “the need to find modern alternatives to outdated industry firearm and safety practices.”
