Did we stop talking about Hilaria

You really have to have a personality disorder to commit this fully to the grift, and to want to live a life that is so inauthentic. I think that’s also how she can not be embarrassed about being caught in the lie. If you’ve ever known someone like this, there is no shame because that’s just not how they are programmed.

I think Alec just got caught and is now sort of stuck. So for him it’s one part grift, one part loyalty/duty to this family he created, and one part ego refusing to let him come out and say yeah, I was totally conned.


100%. She has a personality disorder, which explains why she’s not embarrassed about being exposed as a complete fraud like any normal person would be. Alec’s ego prevents him from acknowledging that he too was deceived and trapped.

Good question. I think these types of people have no embarrassment. I just watched three different shows about women who very publicly pretended for years to have cancer (Scamanda, Apple Cider Vinegar, Anatomy of Lies) for attention, fame and money. I find it fascinating because I do not understand how one could do this. They know they are lying. I think it becomes an addiction? They get away with it and then up the story and get more attention and money and keep going, like gambling. But really I have no idea how someone can just fully live as a fraud. Reminds me also of Lance Armstrong. He didn't care what he did as long as he won. But where is the satisfaction in that? I don't understand the mind-set. It's all cheating.

Wait, I don’t get the problem. Except for the phony accent she occasionally pulls out, she seems fine. Typical Hollywood wife/mom.

She and Alec seem to love each other and do okay managing a big family.

Alec is clearly overwhelmed.
Hilary seems to thrive on chaos.

Anyone would do okay managing a big family when they have $$$$$ to hire people to do all the cleaning, cooking, nannying, driving, homework tutoring, taking kids to outings and on and on.

She and Alec claim they go out to dinner every single night on a "date". This is how you know she doesn't do much of the real parenting. She claimed they get home from school at 5:30, she cooks dinner and oversees homework, she gives all 7 an evening bath and they are all in bed asleep by 7pm. If you have even 1 kid, you know this is someone who doesn't have a clue how long it takes to do all the activities between school out and bedtime - and for 7 kids, LOL!

The problem for Hilaria, is that when the grift was good, she was making at least 1million per year on her IG sponsorships. When she was outed, she lost every single sponsorship and the $$ they gave her. This burns her up more than anything else. When she tries now to tag a brand, hoping they'll repost her IG (and really hoping they hire her to showcase their product), the Reddit Pepinos (cucumbers) contact the brand with proof of her lies, and so far, every brand has backed off, or deleted any cross-post they made (I'm not on IG, so I don't know all the right terms).

The other problem, is that 10 years ago, a lot of young moms followed her and she made them feel like crap for first of all gaining pregnancy weight, then not having easy deliveries (Hilary says her babies just go "swoosh" and come out with no problem. All 6 were just a walk in the park.). Then the famous bounce-back photos. Heck, she posts a post-delivery photo of her in sexy lace bra and underwear - while still in the hospital - where she has a little pooch. Then a few weeks later, she's lost all the weight and has a 17" waist back and posts that pic, again, in lingerie. Were you swimming in a WHITE bikini bottom 2 weeks postpartum?

Then she shames the moms who struggle with nursing by saying how easy it is, how she produces SO much milk that Alec had to buy her "multiple" freezers to store it. She showed a photo of the frozen milk and a Pepino traced the labels on the plastic bags to a place where you can purchase breast milk. And in the back of the photo, on the counter, were 2 or 3 large cans of formula, with the front label blurred out.

Let's not even get into the problem of her posting hundreds of photos of the 5 babies after Carmen "nursing", but there is not one photo of a baby latched (an open mouth position that is the only way a baby can nurse).

One interesting thing to note, is none of the products she sponsored were pregnancy or nursing related. Except Waxelene, which anyone might use on dry skin. I think there's a NY law that you can't misrepresent that you use a product. When she was posting on IG 600+ times a month, not 1 post about pre-natal checkups, not 1 stretch mark, not 1 morning sickness, just perfect pregnancy after perfect pregnancy.

She thrives on making young mothers feel horrible that they can't do pregnancy and breastfeeding as perfectly as Hillary can. For me, that's a big problem and I'm glad she's been exposed and can't frustrate new moms any longer.

Oh I forgot, she claimed her shoe size never changed during any of her 6 pregnancies because she exercised her feet.

I fell into the Datalounge website after a search for some celebrity. It's mainly gay men and I'm a woman married to a man, but I loved their humor. At some point, DL kept referring to DCUM as well as Lipstick Alley (mainly a black woman's site). That's how I found my way to DCUM.

I do believe these 3 sites were onto Hilaria way before any place else. In fact, I think the lady who finally exposed Hilaria in December 2020 (Griftmas), had been a DCUM poster and copied and saved all the Hilaria info so it couldn't be deleted and lost forever.

I now find that for any issue, political or otherwise, if I check into what DCUM, DL or LA is saying, I get a pretty good summary of how America thinks about something.

She also said she bathes the seven kids twice a day.

Yes she did, LOL.

She claimed she personally bathes all 7 shortly before bedtime, then 12 hours later, they wake up and she said she personally bathes all 7 again before breakfast.
Because they got so dirty sleeping all night??

I'd bet big money that she hasn't bathed any child for years. The nannies do all this type of child caring.

It sounds like you've never engaged with her content. Even before everyone found out she was actually just a rich girl from Boston, she was a controversial figure. She would post pics of herself looking perfect 2 days after birth with captions like "my post baby body!"

i read (prob on reddit) that TLC said she was not to use the faux accent, or the deal was off. She needed to "speak in English" not spanglish.

I haven't watched the show - is she twisting her mouth around trying to remember In-glace?
Anonymous
I've never found her bothersome aside from the Spanish thing, but every episode makes me dislike her more. She parentifies Carmen, even her bff was looking at her like "wtf" when she was talking about telling Carmen everything. And she is sort of always trying to ellicit a trauma response rather than be helpful when it comes to Alec. She comes across as manipulative.

I agree the position she puts Carmen in is not right.

The last episode was so boring, it's been the same thing over and over. They have my empathy, Alec did not mean to hurt anyone. But I hope it moves along.

I don't care if they wanted to have a bunch of kids or whatever. I like that their home is chaotic- it also seems fun and full of love.

But I cannot get over her grift and how disingenuous her connection to Spain is.

My own kids present as White, and their actual life (at home, culture, religion, language, everything) is completely different. But they're just seen as White and treated like they are White. But Hilaria can put on a fake accent and get away with this? No. I hate it.

I really wanna hear from her siblings and parents. What do they all think of this? Why do they never visit? Wouldn't grandparents WANT to see their grandkids? Why don't the Baldwins go to Spain to visit them?
