As you say. . . Hilaria Earth!
Hilaria Baldwin, who once blamed an “organized mob” for questioning her evolving accent, showed she could make fun of the controversy at Gurus Magazine’s Valentine’s-themed lunch, according to a spy.
A spy says that when the magazine’s founder and stylist Derek Warburton stood up to thank guests for coming, he couldn’t resist a playful jab at the former Dancing with the Stars contestant.
“Hilaria said, ‘Thank you,’ in her signature fake Spanish accent, and Derek joked back, ‘No matter what accent you think you’re using, I love you,’ which caused about 50 people to burst into laughter,” the spy said.
We’re told the event at Maison Close was attended by designer Nicole Miller, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Sutton Stracke, publicist Anna Rothschild, and former America’s Next Top Model judge Nore Marin.
In 2020, social media started noticing some discrepancies in Alec Baldwin’s wife’s personal story and her accent.
Videos of her speaking with intense emotion have gone viral, including one scene where she appears to have forgotten how to say the word “cucumber” during the Today Show’s cooking segment.
“How do you say that in English?” her mother, who grew up in Boston as Hilary Hayward-Thomas, asked the host.
In his book Manual Not Included, Baldwin blames accent mix-ups on “code-switching,” as well as ADHD and dyslexia.
“And these (diagnoses) have a huge impact on my speech, reading, listening, concentration, memory, and self-confidence,” she writes in her book.
She called the social media users who criticized Chick an “organized mob.”
“I spent part of my childhood in Boston and part of my childhood in Spain,” she explained in 2020 after the riots. “My family, my brothers, my parents, my nephews, they’re all in Spain right now (while I’m here).”
However, as Page Six reported, Hilaria’s parents did not move to Mallorca until 2011, when Hilaria was already 27 years old.
“I love English and I love Spanish. Mixing the two doesn’t make me any less authentic. And mixing the two makes me normal,” she said in a confessional scene on TLC’s reality show “The Baldwins.”
“I’d be lying if I said[the controversy]didn’t make me sad, it didn’t hurt me, it didn’t make me feel dark,” the 41-year-old mother of seven added.
