– It’s a safe bet that Amy Schumer didn’t expect a prank online post involving Alec’s wife Hilaria Baldwin to cause a firestorm like this. It started earlier this week, when Hilaria, a 36-year-old yoga instructor, posted a photo of herself, dressed in lingerie, with her new son Eduardo. As a joke, Schumer reposted the photo on his own Instagram channel and pretended it was the photo of her and her son, Gene, for People. Most of the people who commented took her cheerfully, but others managed to deflect her against Hilaria and accuse her of bodily shame. Hilaria responded with a video defending herself, making it clear that she has no ill will against Schumer. “My only concern is that it looked like it would start to get out of control,” he says in the video.
Hilaria says it’s all about body positivity, but she says it should be applied to people of all shapes and sizes, including her own. “There’s a whole thing like,‘ Oh, moms don’t look like that, ’” she says, she reports USA Today. “Some moms do. This mom does. And I’m included in the inclusion.” Schumer herself replied, “I’m sorry!” in the video and has deleted the prank post from your page. But, after all, she’s a comedian. On Thursday, Schumer reposted a photo of Alec and Hilaria trying to get a photo of their children and let her pass as her own family. “Chris and I had such a beautiful day with the kids,” she wrote in the headline, referring to her husband.
