Here’s the Scoop

In a move that many see as a blow against the culture of negligence in Hollywood, “Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for involuntary manslaughter.

The tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins last year shook the film industry to its core and caused many to question the lackadaisical approach to safety on set.

Gutierrez Reed was found guilty due to her reckless mishandling of firearms, turning a safe weapon into a lethal one, as the judge pointed out. This should serve as a stark reminder to all in the industry that safety regulations are not optional, and that carelessness can have fatal consequences.

Sadly, this is a lesson that Gutierrez Reed seems to have learned too late. Her jailhouse calls reveal a disturbing focus on her modeling career, rather than on the life that was lost due to her negligence. This attitude reflects the self-absorption and lack of responsibility that is all too common in Hollywood.

It’s time to introduce stricter regulations and oversight of firearm safety on film sets. The tragic death of Halyna Hutchins should not be in vain but should serve as a wake-up call to an industry that has become complacent about the potential dangers involved in filmmaking.

In the end, this isn’t just about Hannah Gutierrez Reed, but about a culture that needs to change. We must demand better from those in positions of responsibility, and ensure that safety is always paramount.
