DirectorJoel Souzawas also wounded in the incident, and Baldwin maintains that he did not pull the trigger.
“I worry about him,” she said. “… I mean, can you imagine? Nobody can. There was so much confusion to understand what had happened.”
“When you go through something hard, you know not every day is going to be the same,” continued Hilaria. “You have moments in the day that are very hard. Nights are hard. Nightmares are hard. So I’m just there, and I say, ‘I’m here and I’m going to take care of you,’ and I said that from the moment we realized what had happened.”
She added toExtra, “We’re not okay. We can’t be okay. No one is okay. It was, and is, a tragedy that nobody could ever have imagined. I mean, the loss of her, Halyna. Her son, a little son, her family, her co-workers, the people who loved her, her fans. I mean, she was an incredible, incredible woman in so many different ways.”
