| All of the Instagram posts are forgivable but not being on the cover of magazines and fsking the accent on network TV. Not the bs comparing her skin color to her dsughters. |
Gitana is not a slur. On the contrary it's considered exotic. I'm Cuban but all four of my grandparents were from Spain. Its common in Cuban and Spanish homes to have a framed picture with the title "Gitana." But here again, she named her company what she aspires to be, the exotic Gitana, as if she were. Here's an example: https://fabianperez.com/art/gitana-painting/ |

DCUMitos 😂 I love it. Happy Año Nuevo! |
Thanks for sharing those. I love stories about scam artists. It has a lot to do with how well we spot patterns of deception and our own survival in trusting people. Oh, yeah, and I have a convicted conman in my family, so its a lifetime of work figuring it out. |
| If DCUM figured this out and wasted all this time discussing it before anyone gave a crap it goes to show how dumb we all are. |
| The real psychopath has been running the country and Alec has been entertaining us impersonating him. While his wife is also a pathological liar. True foil. Shakespearean. |
If it refers to Romani people in a negative way it is a slur. https://www.barcelona-metropolitan.com/features/roma-community-barcelona/ |
Yes. If its a criminal case and there was no reason overriding the right of the public to have those proceedings be open, anyone can ask for the audio or video. Court proceedings are open to the public except in rare situations that involve children. Anyone can look up the case number or name of the case (that Geneovive girl is posting it on twitter) and the call the appropriate court to order the audio. Usually costs $15-20 |

I have been a lurker but I just had to add my two cents. First, tip of the hat to y’all for this amazing thread! Thank you thank you thank you! It has provided me countless hours of entertainment. I work but when I get home it is the first thing I check on my computer.
Where to begin? Wow, the grift was certainly a long con, eh? The disappearing and reappearing “acento” are hilarious and oh so cringe. How did she think she could get away with it? Well, I guess after 10 years she thought she was home-free. I noticed in one of her earlier “coming out” videos linked here she was talking about how she never EVER EVER thought about getting married, except maybe when she was three, and she didn’t want or need a maid of honor or bridesmaids. This was the beginning of the cutting off of her old friends who could...how you say in English... tell her she was acting like a freak? And pretending like she didn’t know him because she didn’t have a new fangled-y teevee in Spain? Such a simple girl! Hahaha! I need smelling salts. Can we talk about the wedding? The wedding, oh my gosh the wedding! Her swanning about waving the flamenco fan in his face, oh my sides! The picture of her leering over the fan at him as he dopily stares at it sends me into peels of laughter every time I look at it. Is it some kind of sex dog whistle for them? Sorry, I haven’t figured out how to post pictures, brand new here. Lastly, I have read this thread from the beginning. Right before s*it hit the fan for everyone’s favorite faker Eee-laria, I noticed, as you all did, the timely influx of posters who desperately tried to derail the way the conversation was going and/or make it not fun so as to drive posters away. They used cajoling, name-calling, reverse psychology, the whole enchilada. But y’all handled it like champs! I have noticed many of the same posts almost word for word on other forums. One forum I follow has a delightful way of dealing with them. After a few “shut the f ups” they are pretty much ignored. Nobody chooses to engage them. Not saying people won’t have a different opinion, but we can choose not to engage in the obvious subterfuge. I wrote this post knowing I will be insulted and called names by a few posters, but I won’t engage. I love this thread and y’all are the best! |

In her Times interview, she said she refers to Spain as her home because her parents live there. This is more of her cunning wordplay.
Actually she NEVER lived there, nor is this her home. It’s unclear if even her parents still live there. I refer to my home as the place I live, weird, huh? If I’m going to visit my parents I say “Hey, going to visit the ‘rents.” Or “Going on holiday to visit my parents.” When I leave I say ‘Going home. G’bye.” Imagine the confusion in her world. Hillary says “I’m going home.” Paid friend says “Oh my god you’re going to SPAIN!?” Hillary says “Well no, my...home.” Paid friend says ‘The screenshots of a home espanol family sent you fromSpain?” Hillary screams “no no no!” and does backwards dog until passing out. What does she call the domicile in which she resides with her husband and children? Lies, lies, lies.She loves throwing out the Spain is my home mantra. https://www.insider.com/hilaria-baldwin-spanish-controversy-public-life-timeline-2020-12#august-2011-hilaria-begins-dating-alec-baldwin-after-meeting-him-at-a-restaurant-she-says-on-twitter-that-she-spent-a-lot-of-my-childhood-in-spain-1 |
You are both wrong, lol. spaniard from Spain here. Yes, It refers to romani people but not in a negative way. Its not like the “N word”. You can say “El Farruco was a gitano dancer/bailaor” and its perfectly fine and polite. Also, no, its not something just exotic, its a culture, an ethnic. Probably what your family have its a flamenco dancer painting wich its common that they are gitanas. At least the best of them. |

In any case, call something that you create (a clothes collection, restaurant, whatever) gitano and not being one is cultural apropiation. And they are a minority and discriminated one so is so so so wrong where you from Spain or China. Or Boston.
You can find that Rosalía (our Spanish flamenco-pop) singer has a lot of controversy for using gitano slang (calé), and yep, she is spaniard and loves flamenco, but since she is not gitana is not the right thing and the “gitano town” talks about this. Imagine being a WASP from Boston and naming your brand gitana...oh lord, she is so so so so uneducated |
+1 You are so right about Tina! |
| I wonder if Alec is straight up yelling at her in his belligerent way behind closed doors about this embarrassment. It sucks SNL, out of respect, won’t touch do a skit. The whole thing is nuts. Also, agree with other poster above. Anyone telling me to stop talking about this can automatically eat not only a singular, but also a multitude of dks, both from a backpack and a fanny pack. This is too good. I want to sing this story from the rooftops. This woman is a narcissistic, privileged, egotistical beauty, so lacking in self awareness that she can’t even come clean. This is the story 2020 needed. |
