Prosecutors allege that Alec Baldwin couldn’t control his emotions on the set of Rust and that his behavior contributed to “safety compromises” before the fatal shooting of the movie’s cinematographer.
The claims come as part of a legal filing made in response to a motion from the actor’s attorneys seeking to have the indictment against him thrown out. Baldwin is set to go on trial in New Mexico in July on a charge of involuntary manslaughter after he allegedly fired a live round from a prop gun at Halyna Hutchins, killing her, in 2021.
In the filing made public Monday, prosecutor Kari Morrissey alleged that Baldwin would scream and curse at both crew members and himself on the set.
