Alec Baldwin is asking for a lawsuit filed by the parents and sister of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins to be dismissed by a judge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In court documents filed on Thursday, the actor said Olga Solovey, Anatolii Androsovych, and Svetlana Zemko filed the suit to “obtain compensation” following Ms Hutchins’s death in October 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The loss of a daughter and sister is undoubtedly painful in any circumstance,” the court document read, according to Sky News’ US partner network NBC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Yet Plaintiffs – who had been distanced from Halyna physically, financially, and emotionally for years before her death – have no viable cause of action against Defendants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This action is especially misguided.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The family of the 42-year-old cinematographer filed the lawsuit back in February after she was killed during filming on set of the film, just outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It alleges battery, negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress and loss of consortium, which is when a plaintiff seeks to recover compensation for damages to certain relationships on which they are mutually dependent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baldwin, 65, was rehearsing with a gun for a scene when the weapon went off, killing Ms Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
