Hilaria Baldwin is married to Alec Baldwin, the mouthy star who does a terrible impression of Donald Trump for Saturday Night Live. Hilaria, or Hillary Hayward Thomas as she was known growing up in Boston, is on the receiving end of internet sleuths who seem to be out to cancel her for faking a Spanish accent and lying about where she was born. Page Six has the story.
Hilaria Baldwin has been forced to defend her fluctuating Spanish accent — and admitted that her name is “Hillary.”
The wife of Alec Baldwin took to Instagram Sunday morning after a Twitter storm erupted following a tweet which read: “You have to admire Hilaria Baldwin’s commitment to her decade long grift where she impersonates a Spanish person.”
Baldwin’s own bio on her agency’s speakers site states that she was born on the island of Mallorca, Spain, and raised in Boston. Her 2016 interview with Hola! magazine also stated: “Hilaria, who was born in Spain, has made certain to raise her children with her native language, Spanish.”
During TV appearances, she has spoken with a pronounced Spanish accent, and on one occasion during a cooking segment she even seemingly forgot the English word for “cucumber.”

According to Hilaria’s recent Instagram video post, she was not born in Spain but in Boston. However, she has told multiple media sources that she was a native of Spain. In this video below she tells the interviewers she came to America at the age of 19 for college.

Regarding shining examples on the left of their “cultural appropriation”... Senator Pocahontas ... Hiliaria .... Alec’s and Ireland’s defense of Hilaria ... reminds me of the Turkish proverb:
“The explanation is worse than the blunder.”
Messican culture has always included the caste systems built on skin lightness and version of Spanish spoken. While the trend among ‘mestizos’ is still ‘hate the white man’, the trend among the upwardly mobile messican youth nowadays is a pilgrimage to the mother country of Spain to ‘connect’. So, in California, saying you’re from Spain, and utilizing European Spanish as opposed to the more gutteral messican, projects your status as a sort of blue-blood. Above the mixed-race ‘mestizo’ and decidedly above retintos (hard laborers) or amulatados (house servants) (both Afro-mexicans). Hillary is a poser pandering to the Mexican caste system while using American ‘minority’ status to gain the edge on employment and ‘cred’. A double loser. Triple, if you take in consideration who she’s married to.
