Halyna Hutchins’ family announces suit against Alec Baldwin

The young sister and parents of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, who was shot dead by Alec Baldwin in a 2021 on-set accident, announced Thursday that they are suing the disgraced actor for damages.

Famed lawyer Gloria Allred said in a press conference that she is representing the three family members, all of whom live in Hutchins’ native Ukraine.

The civil lawsuit filed at Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday alleges battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, and loss of consortium.

Hutchins’ younger sister, Svetlana Zemko, “had a very close relationship with her big sister and she feels strongly anyone who is responsible for her loss must be held accountable,” Allred said.

Baldwin already settled with some of Hutchins’ family, namely her widower, Matthew, in October in a separate civil suit — the terms of which were not publicly disclosed.

Allred’s announcement comes after the Santa Fe district attorney charged Baldwin last month with two counts of involuntary manslaughter for the shooting. If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison.

The Hutchins estate filed the original wrongful death suit in February 2022, claiming that Baldwin, 64, “recklessly shot and killed” the mom of one.

When the settlement was announced in October last year, Matthew Hutchins appeared ready to move on.

“I have no interest in engaging in recriminations or attribution of blame (to the producers or Mr. Baldwin). All of us believe Halyna’s death was a terrible accident,” he said in a statement.

It was also announced the movie would resume filming, with Matthew Hutchins on board as an executive producer.

The late cinematographer’s husband appears to have no involvement in the suit announced Thursday.
