Hilaria Baldwin - At it again

[Anonymous]

You’re not wrong. But this is done. She’s been outed
Mission accomplished.

That is what I was thinking! If Kim were the type, she would be loving this. I'm sure she is above it, but can you imagine having to fill Kim's shoes? Plus, he is FIVE kids in, and at his age, doesn't want a costly divorce, so he swooped Hillary away and is probably hiding her phone, at this point. Her birthday (I just read) is January 6 - if that is even true, who knows.

If they have any PR people left, they have to be telling them to STFU at this point, right?

I don't think this woman, Hilaria, conned anyone. The Spanish culture lives largely in her home, very similarly to a lot of my family and friends who are Jewish. Why isn't this the same thing? We all grew up speaking two or three languages, English, Hebrew, and Yiddish- yet most of us have had never been to Israel until adults or at all. My family has a mild accent, and family members in New York really do, yet do not live in Israel. My family calls me by a different name, and many of my friends, who are not Israeli, and not Eastern European, had full-on Jewish weddings with food and drink and language and dress and custom. They've named their kids Hebrew names. They have Judaica artwork all over their houses. Some have visited Israel, some have not. Some have friends and family who live there, some do not.

Additionally, I know many families who have grandparents and great grandparents from Quebec. They also have French names, call their elders Mame and Pepe, and pepper their speech with various French words, and lot of art and food, despite NEVER HAVING LIVED THERE.
Have you watch any television in the last 20 years? What about Italians? RHONJ? I watched one season. For people who never lived in Italy, they sure spoke a lot of Italian,
discussed Italian food, family culture and mannerisms, and had houses filled with marble flooring and Tuscan kitchens.

I went to college with Greek friends who lived an exact lifestyle depicted in My Big Fat Greek wedding with only having great grandparents, or further down the line- great great grandparents, as the only people ever having lived in Greece.

On the one hand, people claim to want to embrace open borders, globalization, and the proverbial melting pot, but when people do, they are called out for cultural appropriation. Why? Being Spanish isn't a race. It doesn't even have to be an ethnicity. It's a country, and a language, with a culture. Isn't that what we are going for?

Look at their wedding. They both embraced a Spanish theme with both of their families there. If she were trying to convey a lie, (and what is the lie anyway?)would she be able to do that in front of her whole family? The wedding announcement had zero info that is untrue. Nothing was ever misappropriated. This family has embraced a Spanish culture for a lot of reasons pertaining to what she's embraced, or chosen, as a member of her family, looking at her father's resume and academic background, and that's that. Her parents felt comfortable enough to actually move there as young retirees. That didn't happen on a whim. Hilaria's Spanish is on par with native speakers. Their kids have Spanish names. Nothing wrong with it. DNA doesn't inform culture.

Nothing this Hilaria/Hillary has been featured in insinuates any lying, and I've taken a good look at the requisite videos, Hola article, her Mom's clip, everything. It seems that various people took out of context items and crocheted them into something that isn't with a pretty accusatory outcome...and it looks like online bullying, unfortunately, which is something I do know about having taught middle and high school. This is nothing less than that and it's very alarming.

Furthermore, there seems to be years worth of bullying regarding her supposed "gold digging " and motives for marrying. I guess that goes with the territory of marrying a celebrity. I'm pretty sure their days look no different than yours, they just have more money to handle it. Sorry! If I were a gold digger, I doubt I would proceed to have 5 kids with a man 25+ years my senior. She loves him. I also notice that her high school friends speak highly of her, no one is calling her out. They are only clarifying questions. Come on. Find something else to hate- maybe that she looks that good after baby#5. I will never look that good, and it's been 35 years since I had a baby.

In summary, stop this "meshuga" bull$#!++, says this woman who can speak Yiddish fairly well, yet holds 0% DNA in anything allowing me to. I wish this family well. Move on.

Lying and saying you are from Spain, pretending that Spanish is your native language when it is not, carrying this facade for a decade, then saying it's everyone's fault but your own that everything about you references that you are from Spain when you are caught in lie, and the whole rest of this mess, is a con.

Where most are from, lying is wrong.

And, yet, everyone does it. Everyone tells lies from time to time. From little white lies to big old whoppers. Unless you were a duped Instagram fan of hers I can't imagine why you are taking this so personally.

Everyone does not make up a fake persona and lies about it for a decade, then tries to defend it blaming everyone, wrong. Comparing this to a teeny white lie that everyone does is ridiculous. You can feel it is okay and be fine with con artists, other people can find it to be wrong. But, saying "everyone does it" is silly. No, everyone does not.

Your core issue is that lying is wrong. Yet, everyone does lie from telling someone their ok food is great to liking a bad haircut, it's just how things are done. Why are you so upset about this? Hilary didn't lie to me and many others, because until recently many had no idea who she was, and now she's a laughingstock. What else do you want to happen here? She's not getting away with it in the court of public opinion and no crime was actually committed so its not like she's going to be arrested for anything.

RIGHT?? WTH??

I took five years of Spanish - does that make me Mexican? Perhaps I should hang out where a famous guy lives in NYC and get his attention......

[Anonymous]

I really think there was a way out of this mess for her. She should have been humble and ashamed. She could have admitted mental health struggles and insecurity. She could have apologized and asked for ideas from everyone where to donate all the money she made. She could change her whole IG and just post occasionally-real normal photos with nannies if they allow. If she must be on social media she could update people with incites from her therapy and realizations about why this was problematic. She could re-invent herself as someone healing from mental narcissistic tendencies, social media attention, etc. She might get a deal from an one of those online therapy groups for advertising. She could make fun of herself on IG a bit.

WTH is this poster trying to defend Hilary? Almost as psychotic as Hilary.

Can we please stop treating Hillary/Hillaria/whatever like a victim? She isn't. There was no one on a "mission" to "out" her. She caused this herself because she decided to do what she did and that's what happens. Nobody was out to get her. She made the choice she made. If there is a PR team involved with her, they are doing a really, really bad job.

She could, but then, what would her "brand" be? The Karashians are taken.

One of her neighbors said something to her, and her response was "I have lived here (Beacon Hill) for 19 years!" :gate slam: I think that is all we need to know. Yowza.

[Anonymous]

OK, I can't read 280 pages, but I am still not clear on why anyone cares? Has Hilaria parlayed some sort of faux-Latinx persona for $$, money, endorsements, roles, etc.? Is there any point to the "I'm from Spain" thing at all other than just some weird alterego-cosplay thing? How can it be a "grift" if there is nothing in it for you?

This seems on par with celebrities changing their name or fibbing about their age or high school experience.

But perhaps I am missing something (say, on page 174-76 of this!)

Exactly this. Other con artists are justifiably extremely uncomfortable with her being called out, afraid they are next.
