Let’s just be honest.

Actor Alec Baldwin is a terrible person. He was a horrible person long before he pointed a gun in the direction of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, killing her and wounding director Joel Souza on the set of “Rust.” He was charged with involuntary manslaughter this year, and he’s pled not guilty. He’s been a horrible person at least since he screamed at his nine-year-old daughter in awful audio, calling her names, years ago. Every time he’s talked about the shooting of Hutchins, he seems more concerned about himself than he is about her or the effect this may have had on her family.

But Baldwin’s latest move in response to a suit from Hutchins’ family just cements what a despicable human being he is.

Baldwin has denied responsibility, blaming other people on the set for the incident, saying he was told the gun was a “cold gun.” There were multiple safety issues on the set including with guns, and some of the crew quit over the issues. Baldwin was also one of the producers, so not only should he have checked the gun and not pointed it at anyone, he had a responsibility to ensure safety as a producer.

Hutchins’ parents and sister filed a wrongful death action against Baldwin. Hutchins’ husband Matthew had also sued Baldwin but settled.

But instead of coming to some kind of resolution with Hutchins’ family, Baldwin has filed a motion to dismiss the action with prejudice, claiming their action against him was “especially misguided” and claiming that they were “distanced” from Halyna.

“The loss of a daughter and sister is undoubtedly painful in any circumstance,” lawyers for the actor wrote in court documents obtained by Fox News Digital. “Yet Plaintiffs – who had been distanced from Halyna physically, financially, and emotionally for years before her death – have no viable cause of action against Defendants. This action is especially misguided.”

Baldwin’s legal team specifically noted that the plaintiff has to be married to the decedent in California law to receive compensation for a wrongful death. Additionally, the lawyers argued Hutchins’ family could not prove a “sufficiently close relationship” with the cinematographer, which is necessary under New Mexico law.

Imagine having the involvement that he had in her death, and then the nerve of saying that they were “distanced” and “misguided” so he could avoid any financial responsibility to them. If there’s a definition of slimy, that would be it. I think you can make the legal argument without having to further attack the family in the process.

Gloria Allred, who is representing the family, ripped into Baldwin’s attempt to “avoid responsibility.”

“We are not surprised that Alec Baldwin is once again attempting to avoid responsibility for what he did,” attorney Gloria Allred said. “It is abundantly clear under New Mexico law, which will be applied in the California court that he is responsible for all of the harm he did to the entirety of Halyna Hutchins’ family. We are here to make sure that he is held accountable for his actions.”

We’ll have to see how the court rules on the motion. But we don’t need to wait on the decision to know what a disgusting person Baldwin is.
