Alec Baldwin opens up about mental health struggles after 'Rust' shooting

Alec Baldwin has discussed his mental health struggles following the 2021 shooting on the set of his film "Rust," which resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. He described the past year as "terrible" and expressed feelings of pain and despair. In a new reality show, Baldwin and his wife Hilaria shared their experiences since the incident. Hilaria noted that Baldwin has been diagnosed with PTSD and highlighted his emotional turmoil, including thoughts of wishing he had been the one to die instead. The legal case against Baldwin for involuntary manslaughter was dismissed in December 2024. He has since filed a lawsuit against New Mexico officials for malicious prosecution.
