Alec Baldwin has spoken out amid news he will no longer face criminal charges.
The 65-year-old actor was facing charges that could see him land up to 18 months in prison after the gun he was holding fired and killed a cinematographer on the set of Rust in 2021.
Now, after news the charges have been dropped, Baldwin has taken to Instagram to thank his wife, Hilaria, for her constant support, “I owe everything I have to this woman,” he captioned a photo of the two of them embracing — adding, “(And to you, Luke),” likely referring to his attorney Luke Nikas, who represented him in the case.
In a statement to the New York Post this morning, Baldwin’s lawyers Nikas and Alex Spiro said: “We are pleased with the decision to dismiss the case against Alec Baldwin and we encourage a proper investigation into the facts and circumstances of this tragic accident.”
