Prop Gun Supplier Sues Alec Baldwin, Alleging Reputation Ruin

In a dramatic turn of events, four years after the fatal shooting on the set of "Rust," the man who supplied prop guns and blanks to the production has sued Alec Baldwin in a bid to clear his name. Seth Kenney, the owner of PDQ Arm & Prop, filed a 35-page complaint last week, alleging that his reputation has been destroyed in the wake of the accidental death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Kenney, who served as a key prosecution witness at both trials, has adamantly denied any wrongdoing, saying he had meticulously "rattle tested" each dummy to ensure it was inert. However, he has been unable to escape a cloud of suspicion, with Baldwin and others allegedly conspiring with "cutthroat industry Hollywood 'fixers' and media" to put the blame on him. As a result, Kenney claims he has suffered personal humiliation, mental anguish, and "ruinous financial losses."
