Actor Alec Baldwin has shared a message on social media disputing reports of chaos and a lax attitude toward safety on the set of Western movie Rust, where he accidentally shot and killed a cinematographer.
Key points:
- Baldwin reposted comments from a colleague who was also working on the film
- Terese Magpale Davis said the narrative the crew were "overworked and surrounded by unsafe, chaotic conditions" was not true
- She said the crew had "multiple" safety meetings each day
Writing "Read this", Mr Baldwin reposted lengthy remarks from Terese Magpale Davis, who worked in the wardrobe department on Rust.
"I'm so sick of this narrative," Ms Davis wrote.

On October 21, cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was killed by a bullet fired from a gun Mr Baldwin was using to rehearse a scene on the Rust set in New Mexico.
The actor had been told the weapon was "cold", or safe to use, according to court filings by the Santa Fe Sheriff's Department, which is investigating the incident.
Camera operators walked off the Rust set before the incident in protest over working conditions, authorities have said.
Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza last week said he believed there was complacency on the production regarding safety.
Attorneys for the armourer in charge of the weapons used in the filming said the production was unsafe due to various factors, including a lack of safety meetings.
Ms Davis, however, said the crew had several safety meetings, "sometimes multiple per day."
The production team "were some of the most approachable and warm producers I have ever worked with," she added.
Ms Davis did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Mr Baldwin, who also served as one of the movie's producers, has said he is heartbroken and will support limits on the use of real guns on film and TV sets.
Production company Rust Media Productions says it was not made aware of any official complaints, and has hired a law firm to investigate the incident.
