Lthe week, a Twitter quote sketched as Hilaria Baldwin, the actor ‘s influential wife (and at some point SNL star) Alec Baldwin, has perpetrated “a decade of grievances where he supplants a Spanish person.”
The user, who goes through the handle @lenibriscoe, shared a series of damning videos of “Hilaria”, a Good morning America aspect where she it had a Spanish accent to Today stop where he supposedly didn’t remember the English word for “cucumber”.
Further away publications showed Hilaria’s mother discussing growing up in Longmeadow, Massachusetts, and numerous articles noted how she had spent most of her career practicing medicine in Massachusetts, where she had worked as an “associate physician at Massachusetts General Hospital and assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School “until” he retired from both positions in 2012, “according to MassLive. video interview said he moved to Mallorca, Spain, in 2011, the same year Hilaria began dating Alec.) An obituary for Hilaria’s grandfather on her father’s side claimed he was an American with roots in country that “was prior to the American Revolution,” while a wedding announcement indicated that his grandfather’s first wife (and mother of his children) came from Nebraska.
Hilaria Baldwin’s CAA speakers page states that she was born in Mallorca, Spain, as does her IMDb biography page and Wikipedia page. She said in a podcast earlier this year: “I moved here [to America] when I was 19 to go to New York from … my family lives in Spain, they live in Mallorca “, adding:” I didn’t know any pop culture “. He decorated the cover of Hello! magazine, a publication in Spanish based in Madrid, where she was identified as Spanish in both the interview and his press release. Alec Baldwin has repeated it over and over again she referred to her as “Spanish” online. And he has done many appearances a Latin magazine, which he has enthusiastically promoted (Spain is no a part of Latin America, by the way), and has he referred to Spain as his “home.”
To make matters worse, his five young children with Baldwin all have Spanish names.
Hilaria’s real name seems to be Hillary Hayward-Thomas, according to her old MySpace page and others. which they claim to be his former classmates. She attended the private Cambridge School in Weston, Massachusetts, and in her senior yearbook is listed as “Hillary Hayward-Thomas”:
A search on Nexis revealed that the New York voter register was bearing the names “Hilaria L. Baldwin” and “Hillary Hayward-Thomas.”
In light of the Twitter speech, Hilaria took to Instagram to tell her side of the story. “The first thing I told my husband was that I was born in Boston,” she said. “I spent a lot of my childhood in Spain. My nuclear family has lived and lived in Spain for a long time. And I came here: I moved a lot, but I came here when I was 19 to go to university ”.
He continued: “I never said that my mother was Spanish, my family is a great mix of so many different things … I don’t really understand why this becomes such a big thing. I want to take it seriously, but I also don’t want to suddenly apologize for who I am. Because right now, I’m starting to feel that I’m being attacked for who I am and that there’s no right answer. “
“Hilaria’s real name seems to be Hillary.”
Alec Baldwin also visited Instagram and, over the course of eight meandering minutes, seemed to deny that there was any merit to the controversy surrounding Hilaria.
“Most of what has been said, and again, I don’t want to mention what these things are, it’s false,” he stated. “And some are so falsely spectacular … No matter how much it hurts me, all I can do is talk to half the audience or a part of the audience that understands what I mean when I say,‘ Think about the font. “Think of the source.”
Now, there is still the possibility that Hilaria Baldwin spent a considerable amount of time in Spain as a child and may have a fondness for Spanish culture, but it does not seem likely that she is Spanish. (She New York News the wedding announcement says “she was raised in Boston and Spain.”)
In a bizarre touch, the first person to appear to have called Hilaria Baldwin for all this is none other than Genevieve Sabourin, Alec Baldwin’s stalker. In 2012, Sabourin tweeted: “Alec Baldwin’s wife, Hilaria, REAL name: Hilary Hayward-Thomas.LIED, will call 911 with her fake name. I’ll file 4felony.” She was eventually convicted of harassing Alec Baldwin and sentenced to six months in prison.
