‘Rust’ script supervisor lawsuit against Alec Baldwin can proceed, judge says
Script supervisor Mamie Mitchell, left, with attorney Gloria Allred speaks in November 2021 about her lawsuit over the fatal shooting of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Mamie Mitchell, the script supervisor on the movie “Rust,” can proceed with her lawsuit against Alec Baldwin over the fatal shooting of the film’s cinematographer in New Mexico, a judge ruled Tuesday. Mitchell was standing close to Hutchins when a bullet from Baldwin’s gun passed through the cinematographer and injured director Joel Souza “The Court was required to assume at this stage that Mitchell’s allegations against Alec Baldwin were true — even though they are demonstrably false, made in bad faith, and contradict her own prior statements about what happened,” Baldwin’s attorney Luke Nikas said in a statement. “We are pleased that the trial court’s tentative ruling has overruled Mr. Baldwin’s demurrer and permitted our client, Mamie Mitchell, to continue her lawsuit against Alec Baldwin to recover damages for the personal injuries she sustained,” Mitchell’s attorney Gloria Allred said in a statement.
