Alec Baldwin leaves Twitter after stirring up wife’s inheritance

The actor said goodbye to the social media platform on Monday after the uproar over his wife’s claims of having a Spanish heritage.

“Twitter is like a party where everyone is shouting,” said his tweet. “It’s not a big party. Goodbye for now.”

Hilaria Baldwin faced adverse reactions after some people on social media started accusing her of faking a Spanish accent and questioning whether she was born on the Spanish island of Majorca.

Videos of her speaking with an accent appeared on social media and people who claimed to have attended high school with her also posted to challenge her claim that she came to the United States at the age of 19 to attend college.

The lifestyle expert and podcaster tried to explain what she saw as confusion.

“This is something I take very seriously, and for those who are asking – I will reiterate my story, as I have done many times before,” she said in a video on her Instagram account. “I was born in Boston and grew up spending time with my family between Massachusetts and Spain. My parents and brothers live in Spain and I chose to live here, in the USA.”

Alec Baldwin appeared to defend his wife in a long video he posted to his verified Instagram account, in which he talked about social media.

“There are things that have been said recently about people that I love, that I care deeply about, that are ridiculous,” he said, “I mean, just ridiculous.”

It is not the first time that the “30 Rock” star pauses on Twitter.

He did this a few times, including in 2017, after comments he made on sexual harassment and assault after the #MeToo movement started provoked outrage.
