Overview
- Seth Kenney, owner of PDQ Arm & Prop, filed a 35-page lawsuit in New Mexico on Oct. 22 naming Alec Baldwin, the production, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, and more than 30 others.
- He alleges a coordinated effort involving Hollywood fixers and online creators portrayed him in a false light, leading to personal humiliation and severe financial losses.
- Kenney acknowledges supplying the Colt .45 used on Oct. 21, 2021, but denies responsibility for live rounds and says he ‘rattle tested’ dummy ammo to ensure it was inert.
- The filing asserts, on information and belief, that Gutierrez-Reed’s dummy rounds were mixed with live .45 Colt rounds from her prior work on The Old Way; she was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and is on parole pending appeal.
- Related cases continue, with Baldwin’s criminal case previously dismissed over withheld evidence, his revived civil suit facing state motions to dismiss, and a separate deposition set for Nov. 12 in a suit by Halyna Hutchins’ mother and sister.
