Alec Baldwin ‘never called or tried to contact’ the parents or sister of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins after he fatally shot her on the set of the Western film Rust in October of 2021, lawyer Gloria Allred said Tuesday.
‘Although some of Halyna’s friends and co-workers contacted Halyna’s mother with their condolences after Halyna lost her life on the set of Rust, the man who killed her never did,’ the famed attorney, 83, told Dailymail.com in a statement Tuesday.
The Oscar-nominated actor, 66, ‘never called or tried to contact her parents or sister to say that he was sorry, and to this day he has never taken responsibility for Halyna’s death,’ Allred said.
Allred said that Baldwin’s new TLC show The Baldwins – showing him and wife Hilaria, 41, raising their seven young children – provides a sad juxtaposition in the wake of the fatal on-set shooting in New Mexico more than three years ago.
‘The Baldwin reality show at once celebrates Mr. Baldwin’s joy of being with his children while ignoring the fact that Alec Baldwin took a child away from her parents,’ said Allred, whose career was chronicled in the 2018 Netflix documentary Seeing Allred.
She continued: ‘That is the painful and actual reality with which Halyna’s parents and sister live each and every day.’

Allred added, ‘Although her family lives in Ukraine, they were very close to Halyna. Halyna visited them in Ukraine and her mother, Olga, visited her in the United States.
‘They communicated on the phone and on the internet on a regular basis, and their bond with their beautiful, talented, and loving daughter was a strong and close one.’
Allred spoke out as her clients – Hutchins’ parents Olga Solovey and Anatolii Androsovych, and sister Svetlana Zemko – entered a court filing for a deposition, People reported after reviewing the filing.
Allred asked the Glengarry Glen Ross actor ‘face the real-life consequences that he caused’ and ‘face reality under oath.’
The filmmakers survivors initially filed the wrongful death civil lawsuit against Baldwin in February of 2023.
Allred said she wants Baldwin to testify in her New York office in person, ‘and his testimony will be recorded on video’

In May, Alec opened up about his large family in an appearance on the Our Way with Paul Anka and Skip Bronson podcast.
‘I have eight children: I got my oldest daughter. She has a baby and she and her boyfriend are living in Oregon,’ he said. ‘I met my wife and we got married and had seven kids in nine years. It’s crazy.’
The actor, who has made a number of cameos on Saturday Night Live, chat about his life and career in the podcast appearance.
‘I found that as I got older, work became less interesting to me,’ Alec said. ‘I’m interested, you know, I wanna work and I like to work.
‘But they just don’t make that many films anymore that I think are interesting. Plus, we’re all older. Whatever I’ve done in the past, I try not to be duplicative of that.’
