On Friday Halyna’s husband, Matthew Hutchins, revealed the unhappy information to TMZ, explaining that Halyna’s mom Olga Androsovych is a nurse in Kyiv, the identical job she’s had for over a decade.

Wow. Good for her. Clearly it’s not truthful she’s in that place, however the reality she’s nonetheless serving to others… So admirable.

Fortunately a few of Halyna’s household acquired out. Matthew says her sister and her 3-year-old niece have been capable of flee to the Romanian border — and are hoping to be evacuated far-off.

Most just lately the 30 Rock star seemingly threw Halyna underneath the bus, blaming her for guiding him to purpose the gun at her — all whereas sustaining he by no means pulled the set off. And he even implied Matthew and his household have been money-hungry for submitting a lawsuit.

Alec, a longtime liberal, has been vocally supporting Ukraine amid the invasion. We hope that extends to those he’s feuding with.
