Fafter the bizarre revelation that Alec Baldwin’s yogi-influencing wife, Hilaria, has been cosplaying as a Spanish for years, the 30 Rock star came to his defense in true boxer style.
The opening salvo was a deeply strange 8-minute Instagram video posted after “Hilaria” was born in Massachusetts, her parents are upper-class Americans with roots prior to colonial times, she attended a $ 63,000 private school in Weston per year (where she did not has an accent), and her birth name is Hillary.
In response to Baldwin’s video – between criticizing Facebook, comparing the Twitter detective who unmasked Hilaria, @lenibriscoe, to a spotted roller coaster and explaining why his phone number may have ended up on Jeffrey Epstein’s blacklist (?) – he pleaded again and again with his millions of followers to “consider the source”, while calling the charges against his 36-year-old wife “poison” and “ridiculous”. His sinuous nature evoked comparisons with a certain 45th president.
So Baldwin, 62, took responsibility for giving impetus to notorious anti-xxxxx / conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy, just when the first batches of the COVID-19 vaccine are being administered during a global pandemic.
It wasn’t over. Last night, Baldwin posted a long comment in an Instagram post by Hilaria stating: “I understood, from day one, that you were born here and raised for many years, both in the United States and in Spain. You never claimed to be from Spain. You always claimed you were born here. ”(In the video, Hilaria confessed that she was born in Boston and claimed that she spent part of her childhood in Spain – although that claim is unfounded.)
This, unfortunately, is not true. Inside a podcast earlier this year, Hilaria stated that she moved to the USA at the age of 19 to go to NYU (not true); repeatedly referred to Spain as your “home”; and stamped the cover of the publication in Spanish Hola! reviewed three times. Each time she was identified as Spanish in the accompanying story. In addition, the speakers’ pages on Wikipedia and CAA listed their birthplace as Mallorca, Spain (they have since been deleted). It seems that his habit of darkening the skin, affecting the accent and forgetting the English word for “cucumber”, was nothing more than an act of an opportunistic vulture of the culture.
And it seems that Baldwin was intrigued or mistaken. While the Daily MailAccording to Cheyenne Roundtree, Hilaria’s wedding to Baldwin in June 2012 was a Spanish-themed affair, with the bride wearing a headdress and waving a flamenco fan. According Submit, “The couple exchanged rings with the inscription ‘Somos un buen equipo’ – which means ‘We are a good team’ in English. The pigeons danced for the first time ‘Contigo’ by Luis Miguel and when celebrating his third birthday, Hilaria made a video montage of her wedding with the song Ave Maria playing in the clip … She told later People of the nuptials, ‘I liked having brought a little of my culture’ ”. Vanity Fair España, she claimed that her parents had difficulty pronouncing the name “Baldwin”.
“I had to repeat it to my family three times: Baldddwinnn. And the third time they said: Oh, we already know who it is! Why didn’t you say it right the first time? ”She told the publication.
“And it seems that Baldwin was intrigued or mistaken.“
Baldwin, meanwhile, repeatedly stated that his wife was Spanish on social media. In April 2013, he tweeted an image of her pregnant woman and her dogs that said: “I miss my three Spaniards …” and Hilaria replied with enthusiasm: “4!” That same month, Baldwin continued The Late Show with David Letterman to discuss the New York Postthe recent allegation that he made a racist speech against a reporter. During the conversation, Baldwin said again that his wife was Spanish, imitating his wife talking to the hairdresser on the phone with a Spanish accent and telling Letterman, “My wife is from Spain.”
Two years earlier, in 2011, Baldwin tweeted a song by Gipsy Kings and dedicated to “all yoga teachers in Spain”; Hilaria replied: “This is everything a Spanish yoga teacher could possibly want! Gracias corazon. “
In the wake of the uproar, Baldwin – who has a reputation for verbally abusive behavior and once pleaded guilty to punching a man in a parking spot – continued to present himself as the victim of an online smear campaign and even told a critical user from Instagram to “go fuck yourself”.
For a guy who made hay from a terribly terrible impression of Trump, he is acting terribly Trumpian now.
And remember, guys: Consider the source.
