The set's script, Mamie Mitchell, who is represented by attorney Gloria Allred, is the second cast member to take the case to court, a claim production officials say is inadmissible.

“Nothing in the plaintiff's allegations suggests that any of the defendants, including Mr. Baldwin, intended the gun to be loaded with live ammunition (…).

Because plaintiff's three causes of action are based on allegations of negligence resulting in a worker's injury, they must be dismissed because her exclusive remedy is based on New Mexico workers' compensation law, not on a civil action filed in California state court,” attorneys for the defendants responded in court, according to Deadline.

He can't hide behind the assistant director to apologize for not checking the gun himself,” the scripter said in her complaint.

Alec Baldwin denied being responsible for the drama in an interview with

The police investigation is still ongoing.
