Alec Baldwinis sharing a cryptic message as fallout from theRustshooting continues.
The actor, 63,posted a tweetabout “using speech to benefit others,” writing, “In Buddhism, being truthful goes beyond simply not telling lies.”
“It means speaking truthfully and honestly, yes,” he added in the Thursday post. “But it also means using speech to benefit others, and not to use it to benefit only ourselves.”
While Baldwin didn’t provide context for the post, it came the same dayMatthew Hutchinsspoke out for the first time on theTodayshow about thedeath of his wife, Halyna Hutchins. Halyna, a cinematographer,died at age 42in October after Baldwin accidentally misfired a prop gun on the set of the Western filmRust.
“Watching him, I just felt so angry,” Matthew said in the interview withHoda Kotbwhen asked about Baldwin’s sit-down ABC interview withGeorge Stephanopoulos, in which the actor said he did not feel guilty about the incident. “I was just so angry to see him talk about her death so publicly in such a detailed way and then to not accept any responsibility after having just described killing her.”

“There were a number of industry standards that were not practiced, and there’s multiple responsible parties,” Matthew added of theRustset.
“The idea that the person holding the gun and causing it to dischargeis not responsible is absurd to me,” Matthew said.
During December’s ABC News interview, Baldwin said, “Someone is responsible for what happened, and I can’t say who that is, but it’s not me.”
In October, Baldwin accidentally shot Halyna and directorJoel Souzaduring a camera test at the Bonanza Creek Ranch set in New Mexico. Halyna died from her injuries after being airlifted to the University of New Mexico Hospital. Souza, 48, survived his injuries.
The Santa Fe Sheriff’s Office has not yet charged anyone in the incident.

Earlier this month, Matthewfiled a complaint on behalf ofhimself and the couple’s 9-year-old sonAndros, claiming Baldwin “recklessly shot and killed Halyna Hutchins on the set of the movieRust.”
A rep for Baldwin did not respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment about the complaint.
Matthew previously told theDaily Mailof the meeting, “I have spoken with Alec Baldwin andhe is being very supportive.”
