But why the Spanish persona, why not just be real? It’s crazy, all of it. |
Don’t the nannies speak Spanish? That was probably a requirement for the job. If the children have been spoken to in Spanish since they were babies, they likely do speak Spanish. |

They were living life as Spanish Americans, she adopted the culture and lived it. So, now what? Will that continue, or will she talk like a Bostonian and call herself Hillary? |
Fluent speaker here (not native) and I agree with your husband that her accent is good, but she does not sound like a native speaker at all. Her answers are short and simple, barely full sentences. If this is the best she can do, there is no way she is speaking Spanish with anybody in her family. |
This is a very good question. Was he just playing along, like he was dealing with an Alzheimer’s patient? Was it a sex thing? I vote for it being a sex thing. |
Dying! |
But surly Alec would have better choices, no? He chose a scam artist wife just because she was cute? |
Where did it get Hilaria Baldwin, career wise? She has a podcast- anyone can have one. She's done some sponsored posts- many have done so. Entertainment shows cover her like they cover any other celebrity wife who loves the spotlight. Her Spanish fakery didn't land her any points with anyone except, seemingly, Alec. This simply isn't the same as a Jess Krug at George Washington University or Rachel Dolezal at the NAACP, sorry. |
I'd be surprised if the nannies were from Spain. A Spanish accent from Spain--as well as a lot of vocabulary and slang--is very different from Spanish from Central or South America. The culture, food, etc. is also different so unless the nannies are from Spain, the kids aren't getting an authentically Spanish-from-Spain experience. |
| Vanity fair Spain article: She learned to spell her new surname whe she got married, and that her parents didn't understand her until the third time she pronounced it. |
I had that same thought...wonder how the dynamic is between Alec and Hillary today.

Keep telling yourself that she didn’t benefit from it. Whatever helps you sleep at night. |
It seems to have led to marrying Alec Baldwin. He’s loaded, a famous A list actor. She is set for life. |
Are you kidding? As in, they’re so foreign they didn’t know how to spell Baldwin? |
