Despite a new lawsuit recently filed against him, Alec Baldwin seemed to be in good spirits at the Roundabout Theater Company’s 2023 Gala.
The 64-year-old actor arrived alone on the red carpet at the annual party, held at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York City on Monday night.
The outing comes just days after three other Rust crew members filed a lawsuit against the actor, alleging they now suffer from anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder after the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the western film Rust.
Baldwin stepped out in a classic black suit with a gray-blue dress shirt and dark tie under a black suit jacket with a purple pocket square.

While Baldwin pleaded not guilty to manslaughter in late February, just days later three members of Rust’s team filed a lawsuit against the actor.
The filing alleges that crew members experienced anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust at Bonanza Creek Ranch near Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Members of the team, dolly operator Ross Addiego, costume designer Doran Curtin and key manager Reese Price, also claim they were near the gun when it went off and have since suffered “blast injuries” due to that the gun was discharged unexpectedly.
Hutchins fell to the ground in front of Curtin. “She watched in shock as Hutchins grabbed her abdomen,” the lawsuit says.
Plaintiff Curtin put her hands on Hutchins’ stomach, trying to find the source of Hutchins’ pain and figure out what was going on. As the chaos continued, plaintiff Curtin was taken from the church. Once outside, he collapsed from the effects of the explosion and the impact of the shooting.
The suit also accuses the producers of cutting corners and hiring people who had been the subject of previous safety complaints, including David Halls, the first assistant director, and gunsmith Hannah Gutierrez Reed, who “lacked experience” because the producers they supposedly wanted a ‘quick relationship’. and cheap production.’
Gutierrez Reed, like Baldwin, also faces a manslaughter charge, which carries a maximum sentence of 18 months in prison, and has also pleaded not guilty.
