‘Impersonates A Spanish Person’: Alec Baldwin Wife Hilaria Addresses Controversy Over Accent, Spanish Culture
Hilaria Baldwin, wife of actor and vocal Trump hater Alec Baldwin, responded Sunday to questions concerning her Spanish culture and apparently fluctuating Spanish accent.
“I’ve seen chatter online questioning my identity and culture,” the 36-year-old posted to Instagram on Sunday. “This is something I take very seriously, and for those who are asking— I’ll reiterate my story, as I’ve done many times before. I was born in Boston and grew up spending time with my family between Massachusetts and Spain. My parents and sibling live in Spain and I chose to live here, in the USA. We celebrate both cultures in our home—Alec and I are raising our children bilingual, just as I was raised. This is very important to me. I understand that my story is a little different, but it is mine, and I’m very proud of it.”
Hilaria was responded to a viral Twitter thread posted last week that accused the mother of impersonating “a Spanish person,” according to Fox News.
“You have to admire Hilaria Baldwin’s commitment to her decade long grift where she impersonates a Spanish person,” the first tweet reads. A string of tweets from the user, @lenibriscoe, show videos of Hilaria with a more pronounced Spanish accent in two videos, and a video where the accent is not detectable. For example, in one video, Hilaria asks how to say the word “cucumber” in English. In another post, @lenibriscoe published a screenshot of an apparent review of Hilaria’s podcast, reading, “I know Hilary Hayward-Thomas from the Cambridge School of Weston in MA. She didn’t have an accent then and didn’t change her name to Hilaria. Because she’s not Spanish! So please stop using an accent in this podcast and interrupting your guests.”
