Hilaria Baldwin, a New York-based yoga instructor and wife of actor Alec Baldwin, is suddenly the hottest topic on Twitter after evidence piled up that she has pretending to be a Spanish woman for most of her adult life.

The controversy started when Baldwin posted a picture in lingerie with her baby, causing a minor body-shaming brouhaha between herself and Amy Schumer. However, things took a wildly bizarre turn when Twitter user @lenibriscoe joined the discourse to say, "You have to admire Hilaria Baldwin’s commitment to her decade long grift where she impersonates a Spanish person."


This bold claim was accompanied by a series of posts showing videos where Baldwin seems to not know how to say "cucumber" in English and another of her reacting to Schumer where her Spanish accent apparently "disappears."


She also pointed to the accounts of people who claimed they knew Baldwin growing up in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where she had no accent and was known as "Hillary." There is another showing her white mother, whom Baldwin has claimed is Spanish in the past, talking about growing up in Massachusetts


So what's going on here? Daily Beast dug deeper and found several more items in her digital history that contradict Baldwin's life story. For example, Baldwin said on her podcast she moved to America at the age of 19 to go to NYU; her old MySpace name is "Hillary Hayward-Thomas" and she appears in the yearbook of the Cambridge School of Weston under that name. Several online pages for her claim she was born in Mallorca, Spain, as well.

With the online storm brewing, Baldwin took to Instagram to address the rumors. She said she told Alec Baldwin she was born in Boston but spent a lot of time in Spain as a child, where her nuclear family stays.

"I’ve never said that my mother was Spanish, my family is a big mix of so many different things," she said. "I don’t really understand why this is turning into such a big thing."


It may well be that Baldwin chose to go by Hilaria and raise her five children, who all have Spanish names, as bilingual to reflect her own experiences growing up. It may well be that her podcast gig and publicity in Spanish media such as Latina magazine have created some confusion as to her actual biological history. However, it seems clear she is not of Spanish descent.

Never one to shy away from dunking on a ridiculous scandal, Twitter has been alight with jokes at the Baldwins' expense.


Thank you, Hilaria Baldwin, for giving 2020 one last dumb scandal to sink our teeth into. It's possible this whole thing got blown out of proportion, but it didn't help that you were born in Boston and somehow didn't know the word "cucumber."
