Following the New Mexico tragedy, Alec Baldwin’s wife and their children left their Manhattan penthouse and have settled in their mansion on the outskirts of New York
Authorities continue to investigate the terrible incident in which Alec Baldwin accidentally killed a woman and injured another person last week while shooting a movie in the state of New Mexico. Meanwhile, the Hollywood actor’s wife and six children have “fled” from their apartment in Manhattan to temporarily settle in the mansion they have on the outskirts of the city.
Hilaria Baldwin and her couple’s children were seen leaving the luxurious penthouse in the Greenwich Village neighborhood where they usually live, after the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins , who was shot in the filming set for the movie ‘Rust’ when the Hollywood actor fired a blank gun without knowing it was loaded.
The ‘New York Post’ newspaper published this weekend some photographs in which you can see the family’s nanny leaving the building with one of the actor’s children and a pet to get into a truck that took them to the exclusive area of the Hamptons, the summer resort of the ‘jet set’ New Yorker where Baldwin have a spectacular mansion where they spend long periods.
As the actor’s family sheltered from media pressure, the film’s director, Joel Souza, who was also injured in the incident by being hit by another projectile in the shoulder, told investigators that Alec Baldwin was practicing pulling out. the gun when the shots were fired, according to excerpts from his affidavit released Sunday by the Santa Fe Sheriff’s Office.
So far no charges have been filed against Baldwin , who assured that he is cooperating with the police to clarify the circumstances in which this tragedy took place. Authorities continue to question everyone who witnessed what happened, including production assistant David Halls, who was the person who gave the actor the blank gun and told him he had no live ammunition.
The Baldwin family should keep a low profile in the coming weeks and stay away from the networks because their movements are going to come under public scrutiny, according to Evan Nierman, owner of public relations and crisis management firm Red Banyan. “They have to be careful with every gesture, every statement, avoid being photographed going out to dinner with friends or even smiling so that they are not attacked,” he warned.
This weekend the victim’s husband assured that the Hollywood star had already contacted him. “I have spoken with Alec Baldwin and he has been very supportive,” Matthew Hutchins told the New York Post. Shortly after the tragedy, the actor said through his Twitter account that he was “shocked and heartbroken” by what happened and offered all his help to the family of Halyna Hutchins.
