DP. Someone quoted this article: https://www.vice.com/en/article/4ayqk3/he-knew-everything-fear-control-and-manipulation-at-yoga-to-the-people “ When reached for comment, a spokeswoman for Hilaria Baldwin, who has spoken previously about teaching at Yoga to the People, said “[Hilaria] won’t be doing an interview and hopes you please respect her decision and privacy.” “ |
Say what? Do share details... I hope it’s among consenting adults ... |
| Omg I’m so sad I am late to the thread today, now I have 30 pages to read!! But unlike Hilaria I’m actually working today plus looking after kids so it will have to wait until tonight. Can anyone post the coles notes of today?? I saw the NY post just did an article about Alec calling out an immigrant who wrote a piece for people. Kids nap time and my work lunch break are almost over, so I don’t have time (or 5 nannies) to read through everything. Help?! Thank you!! |
Bingo. Classic con artist grifter with pseudo surface-level knowledge that fools and tricks naive gullible people, but once someone with a clue talks to them they try to wiggle away or divert your attention to something else. Woody Allen has entire films about people like this - Alec Baldwin starred in some of them! |

Meghan Markle Chrissy Teigen Beth Stern Jessica Seinfeld Peas in a pod.[/quote] Sorry, why? It doesn't appear thst Chrissy Teigen lied about her ethnicity. I just don't see what's wrong w marrying a successful and famous man if you aren't doing a whole charade about your ethnic and national background[/quote] You're missing what those women have in common. They have completely capitalized on their marriages because they have so little else going on in their own lives. Contrast them with someone like Clooney's wife or Steve Martin's wife.[/quote] Indeed. But Chrissy isn't quite so bad although she's just an idiot. The other thing the women have in common is the guys were all emotionally and or mentally fragile. John Legend is fine and always has been.[/quote] Chrissy Tiegen ans Meghan Markle were highly successful in their own lives before marrying celebrities. And Chrissy Tiegen is super smart. You don’t get as funny as she is without a brain. [/quote] Chrissy Teigen was a model. Meghan Markle was a Hallmark and USA actress. Hilaria was a yoga teacher and co-founded a studio. I think these are all fine jobs. |
Without a doubt. Hollyweird. |
Italian was my second language growing up. I'm still close to fluent. What you see in this vid is how I speak Italian. I can have conversations with no problem but my answers tend to be shorter and at times I need to pause and think about the way I want to answer something if it's more complicated. My guess is Spanish was her second language and she completely embellished the accent for this persona she created publicly. I also think she played up the accent with Baldwin himself as he uses said accent in previous interviews to imitate her. To put it bluntly, she's a phony with a personality disorder. (And someone who desperately craves online attention, hence all the photos in her undies working out, with the kids, etc.) She never had the accent to begin with. She always knew how to say 'cucumber'. Alec of course is only making things worse by his defense of all this. She's guilty as sin. And he's trying to play the victim card for her. What a joke he can be at times. (Brilliant actor though!) |

I grew up in Montreal, in a French world with French friends and have spoken French for 40 years. I speak French at my day job and am currently a French tutor. My parents are from Manitoba and we only spoke English at home. My parents don’t even know how to speak French beyond the basics. English is my first language, I’ve never had an accent and I’ve never forgotten how to speak English!! This lady is a complete clown. If you know anything about French Canadian, that’s a really strongggg accent and somehow I managed to live in a French world and not have one because that is not my native language.
The only thing I will say is that I do mix up Italian and Spanish, because I speak both and often get confused. I’ll think I’m speaking Italian but everything comes out Spanish. Or sometimes I will watch a movie and the character is speaking Italian but my brain for a second registers it as Spanish. BUT that’s because I speak 5 languages and things get confusing!! There is no confusion with Spanish and English, but Italian/Portuguese/Spanish I could understand. |
Many years ago, I think when there were only two kids, she was supposed to go to Spain for Christmas. She talked a lot about it leading up to the trip, and then on the afternoon of the trip they had to cancel because the kids and others in the household (herself? Alec? I don't remember...) were sick with colds. She did lots of instagram stories about being disappointed and heartbroken and blah blah. I already knew she was a fake back then because I practiced yoga in NY and knew her as Hilary Thomas. I remember being amused and finding it fitting that she never rescheduled the trip. There was no reason they couldn't just go a week later; the kids were young and not in school and they were plenty rich enough to just rebook plane tickets and so forth. Her parents didn't have inflexible work schedules that meant they could only see them during the holidays but not Jan 10th or whatever. But instead, they just never went at all. Her parents' social media were public until recently (I haven't looked since all this blew up). There are pictures of them visiting the grandkids in NY. Hilaria has just always conveniently hid that they were in town on her instagram life. |
| She speaks very basic elementary Spanish about as well as any dime a dozen UMC white girl who went to a decent private high school and took 3-4 years of Spanish. Everything is a lie. She's had 10 years to get this scam in order as an idle rich housewife, yet she's couldn't even put the effort in to hire a cheap tutor to legitimately learn the language - too busy posting over 6,000 underwear and boob photos on instagram like a low-class thirsty gold digger. |
Yep. "OMG- they are on to me!!! Quick! Let me immediately post a tit pic so I can deflect from my fake life and blame everyone for being breast feeding shamers and misogynists." (Hillary, maybe.) |
Well, I disagree. Our society has a major problem with facts, and inauthenticity. This is a problem, with major consequences. I don't think people, including celebs, should be able to just make up stuff. Change your name? Fine. People do that for all kinds of reasons. Say you were born in Spain and that you moved at age 19 to attend NYU, that's a problem. It's a lie, and it's not adorable just cause you like to do yoga in your underwear while you hold your baby. |
| Alec posted a video of some birds flying with the caption “Flying away for a bit...”..the most bizarre part is him saying SHHHHH (to the birds? To someone talking that might disturb his IG post?) |
Pretty much this which only speaks to her arrogance. Who in the world would pretend to be a different ethnicity or culture and then not bother to fluently learn the language she professes to be her native language? The idiocy and arrogance truly boggles the mind. |
| As a pp said upthread, shouldn't there be people coming to her defense? From her own family? Or are they breathing some sigh of relief that the family sham has been exposed and they don't have to keep lying or misleading. |
