A weapons supplier who worked on Rust has filed a sweeping lawsuit against Alec Baldwin and the film’s producers and crew, accusing them of waging a “scapegoat smear campaign” that destroyed his livelihood after the fatal 2021 shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
In a 35-page complaint filed this week in a New Mexico court, Seth Kenney and his company, PDQ Arm and Prop, claim that Baldwin and the film’s production team “intentionally defamed” him by suggesting his firm supplied live ammunition that caused Hutchins’s death.
