Baldwin, 63, had previously used his account to make his first official statement regarding the accidental shooting on the set of the movie "Rust" last October, which killed director of photography Helena Hutchins, 42, and injured director Joel Souza. .

I didn't pull the trigger

The deletion of Twitter accounts comes after Baldwin appeared in a television interview on December 2 on ABC with presenter George Stephanopoulos to talk about the "Rust" tragedy for the first time on air, and the actor broke down in tears several times during Speaking, he was trying to convince the public that he was not responsible for Hutchins' murder.

Baldwin confirmed that he was following Hutchins' instructions during the rehearsal of the scene, as she directed him to the angle at which he was going to aim the gun.

When asked by Stephanopoulos, "So you never pulled the trigger?", Baldwin replied, "No, no, no, I would never, never, ever shoot anyone."

I don't feel guilty

Baldwin stated that he did not feel guilty, stressing that "someone put a live bullet in the gun, and it was not supposed to be there."

Despite this, he expressed what he lives after the accident and how he struggles to get through every day, and added, "I see dreams about the accident constantly, and when I try to live my day I collapse emotionally at the end of the day."

He also mentioned that he hugged Hutchins' husband when he met him and his 9-year-old son, adding with regret, "This boy no longer has a mother."

I will not face criminal charges

As the New Mexico mayor's office continues to investigate how a live bullet got into the gun, Baldwin indicated that he did not believe he would face criminal charges. criminal".

For her part, Santa Fe County District Attorney Mary Carmack Altwise told ABC News that "there is no evidence that the accident was intentional, it was clearly an accident," but she did not rule out criminal charges, saying It is still "on the table".

Misplaced accusations

In the wake of the shooting, Baldwin drew criticism from prominent figures, including former President Donald Trump, who called Baldwin a "deranged" and suggested he may have deliberately shot Hutchins, which Baldwin vehemently denounced.

George Clooney also gave his opinion, commenting on the incident, saying, "Every time I hold a gun during a shoot, I check it and open it and show it to the person I'm shooting at." Baldwin described Clooney's covert criticism as "misplaced."

I don't care about my profession

The Rust incident has inspired many other actors, including Dwayne Johnson (The Rock), who vowed to use only fake guns in future films, and others - including Olivia Wilde - signed a petition to ban the use of real guns on Hollywood sets.

Rational interview or catastrophic?

Commenting on Baldwin's media appearances during this early stage of the investigation, the Los Angeles Times quoted law and public relations experts as saying that the decision to speak on television during an ongoing criminal investigation, and in the midst of two civil cases, was a very risky tactic. And that could exacerbate Baldwin's problems.

Nehme Rahmani, a former assistant attorney general, described the interview as a "mistake" because Baldwin's statements "could be used against him in court, but would not be useful in the defence."

Other legal experts have suggested that parts of Baldwin's interview may become problematic for him, and some have expressed doubts about Baldwin's statement that he did not pull the trigger, and if investigators prove that the trigger was pulled it would damage Baldwin's credibility.

Meanwhile, veteran criminal defense attorney Lara Yeretsian said: "Baldwin's defense was rational, and showing it emotionally was appropriate, although that didn't help his case, it wouldn't hurt."
