Alec Baldwin defends wife Hilaria's heritage after cultural appropriation accusations
Fox News ^ | December 28, 2020 | Jessica Napoli

Hilaria Baldwin and her husband, Alec Baldwin, defended her identity on social media after it was revealed she was born in Boston, Mass., not Spain, as she had previously claimed.

The 36-year-old yoga/wellness expert reacted to a tweet over the weekend, which said, "You have to admire Hilaria Baldwin’s commitment to her decade long grift where she impersonates a Spanish person." The tweet has since been deleted. 

Hilaria Baldwin has claimed she was born in Mallorca, Spain, and raised in Boston. She explained on a podcast in April 2020, "I moved here [to America] when I was 19 to go to NYU from… my family lives in Spain, they live in Mallorca." The bilingual mother of five's accent has also noticeably fluctuated over the years when she made appearances on TV.

Alec Baldwin also stood up for his wife online after she was accused of cultural appropriation. 

"Just a lot of s--t," the 62-year-old "30 Rock" star said on Instagram. "You have to kind of hack your way through the debris of Twitter. Twitter is just a vast orchard of crap. And I have certainly slung some crap in that orchard myself every now and then with things I’ve said. So, that’s not lost on me that I’m guilty of that as well."

Her stepdaughter, Ireland Baldwin, also defended her and slammed her detractors as "sad and pathetic." 

"She’s a caring person who has always respected my relationship with my dad and I have a great relationship with her. … Hilaria is a wonderful mother who takes great care of her kids and she takes great care of my dad and that’s really all that matters to me," Ireland Baldwin said.

Is there a “special “ status to being born in Spain over another European country?

He does seem to have quite the temper.

And good for you! It probably bugged him the rest of the day, and perhaps beyond.

If I were his wife, I’d be nervous if he came in the door looking mad after a disagreement with a driver or passerby who disrupted his travels. He probably gets a very particular look on his face.

Well, to tell a family secret, her grandmother was Dutch.

I understand one side of her family was here before the Revolution. Maybe she could find a Spanish ancestor on that side. Nothing wrong with Dutch either.

My wife: If they had to get up to go to work, they wouldn’t have time to think up this stuff.

i’m sure Mrs. Baldwin prays for Alex’s (he’s really Alex) sudden death on the regular. She gets the $$!

Why is this news? Who gives a c—p what this idiot Baldwin or his wife think, say or do. I sure as hell don’t.

I wrote to his daughter Ireland on Instagram and told her about it and she told me I wasn’t the only one lol As you may know, she’s the daughter he called a “thoughtless little pig” on her answering machine years ago. He’s a bully, an abusive punk and he has the gall to accuse to Trump of being a bully and mock him.

LOL! Good for you. :)

I mean, the man is funny, or can be, but once you know about his history, and that “thoughtless pig” comment was nauseating (what parent says that to his or her child?), he’s hard to take.

And I could care less if she crawled out of a NYC sewer. She is married to a first class piece of America-hating garbage with a big mouth, that’s enough for me.

“Then I’d have to find another minor celebrity’s spouse to support.”

How about a washed-up celebrity like Lindsay Lohan? Although, you may not want to get too physical with your support; Lord only knows what diseases you might pick up.

Hollywood has got, GOT, to be filled with STDs. I would have a hard time being an actress and even being told I have to kiss an actor. I don’t think I could do it, no matter how good looking he is. I’m old enough to think Robert Redford. ;)

Ireland’s mother is Kim Basinger.

Talk about a guy that looks bad. I just watched “Unhinged” staring Russell Crowe. I don’t think he put on weight for the role. He was always stocky. Now, he is FAT. He is working on a heart attack.

So gender appropriation is OK but this isn’t?

It is amazing how leftists lie about so many things that can easily be revealed as lies. This is like Hillary Clinton claiming to be named after the first man to reach the summit of Everest. Why lie about something so easily disproven? Obviously lies come easier to leftists than truth. They cannot stop themselves from lying.

“Hilaria is a wonderful mother who takes great care of her kids and she takes great care of my dad and that’s really all that matters to me,” Ireland Baldwin said.

And Joe Biden is a great father who takes great care of his kids, and siblings. (The country, not so much) And that’s all that matters to me (said about 32 million voters)
