“Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed is currently suing the film’s ammunition supplier for providing faulty props, per NPR, but according to new evidence, she had put the blame on herself right after the fatal incident occurred. In newly released police bodycam footage obtained by TMZ, Reed had expressed remorse, saying, “I just want to get the f*** out of here and never show my face in this industry again.”
Reed also went on to say that she had caused the downfall of her own career. “I’m the only female armorer in the game and I just f****d up my whole entire career,” she added, referring to herself as a “f*****g failure.”
It may be too early to say what would happen to the case now that such footage had been uncovered, but per Reed’s legal team, the armorer was framed for what had happened. “We are convinced that this was sabotage and Hannah is being framed,” lawyer Jason Bowles said, per Variety. “We believe that the scene was tampered with as well before the police arrived.”
