| There has to be a way for them to monetize this and move on. A show like: " I lied about my nationality and (almost) got away with it". |
This explanation from 2014 is clear he knew everything and was fine with it. Don’t see the issue. |
But if her father's mother really is/was Spanish, why hasn't she said that in any of her explanations?? I think that is highly likely that it's false, in which case that video of Alec in 2014 either shows him blatantly lying or shows that Hilaria had lied to him about her grandmother and he believed it. |
It looks like there is a strong element of Hilaria bold-face lying to trap this man. As that Intragrammer says, why aren't they saying this now. Why isn't HB like, listen I identified really strongly with my abuela? Because they are lying liars who lie. And before those of you who are holier than thou (Not holy enough to stop reading this thread apparently) wonder why it matters: 1. it hurts people who are foreign 2. they have profited off of this lie while others are hurt by the truth of not being born american 3. she claims to be AUTHENTIC above all else, it's a bad thing for our culture and society |
They are all white as rice. |
| Argh, why doesn’t she just come clean and let this die?!?! Instead she’s digging the hole deeper and deeper. |
No, it sounds like she lied to him about her upbringing. There is no way she spent half of every year in Spain while her parents were working full-time. She did not go to school in Spain for half the year and in the U.S. for the other half of the year. Also, she told him that her paternal grandmother is Spanish. I thought her dad's family had been in the U.S. for a very, very long time? |
Spanish people are by vast majority white. White as rice. Please try again. |
She’s probably been speaking Spanish her entire life, her father may be fluent, she may have had an hispanic nanny growing up. Many nonhispanic Americans are fluent in Spanish, it’s not unique. Spanish is relatively easy, compared to say Russian or any slavic language and many many others. Her Spanish is not perfect, which is why she most likely avoids long convos and interviews in Spanish. |
Spanish people are white as rice but that rice is paella. |
Sure. They are all white as American rice. |
Paella has rice in it, but isn't rice. #jokefail |
He first said the paternal grandmother and then paternal grandmother’s family. Well, was it the grandmother or the very distant family? All BS. |
| This vapid ditz is CLEARLY not fluent in Spanish. I’d bet anything she cooked this scheme up with that fraud female restaurantuer who went to jail - the owner of Pure Food and Wine, which is where they were introduced. Alec was a regular there. Alec, sorry pal, it appears you were a mark to these schemers. |
Agree. But then again he’s in showbiz so the love isn’t quite deep in that way. It’s in the lens of narcissist and he views himself. |
