Alec Baldwin Welches on Widower and Son of Woman He Killed

Actor Alec Baldwin, currently facing involuntary manslaughter charges due to his 2021 fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust," is reportedly several months late on a payment for a civil suit filed by Hutchins’s widower and son, according to a recent New York Times report.

Hutchins’s lawyer, Brian Panish, told the New York Times that they might sue Baldwin, Rust Movie Productions, and related parties for a breach of agreement nearly three years after Baldwin fatally shot Hutchins with a replica firearm Baldwin alleges he did not know was loaded with live rounds.

The settlement, approved by a judge in June 2023, includes a series of annuities for Hutchins’s son, Andros Hutchins, who was nine years old when his mother was killed in 2021. Other details of the settlement have been sealed by the court, according to ABC News.

In January 2024, a New Mexico grand jury officially charged Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter, which Baldwin’s defense attorneys moved to dismiss in March. If convicted, Baldwin could face 18 months in prison. Baldwin pleaded not guilty to the criminal charge.

Since the October 2021 shooting, Baldwin has faced a collection of financial strains. Baldwin put his $29 million estate in the Hamptons on the market, along with another half-a-million-dollar lake house in upstate New York. In January, Baldwin cut the asking price for the Hamptons home by $10 million. Baldwin also welcomed his seventh child in 2022.

Baldwin and his wife, Hilaria, announced in early June their new family reality TV series "The Baldwins," which is set to air on TLC starting in 2025.
