She decided to go no accent for the show. Her real voice is pretty grating in the clip.

The preview looks good, like an old fashioned reality show with people actually living their lives. I know she's not really Spanish, but she looks so much like Ursula Corbero from The Jackal especially with her hair up. |
Didn't it come out that her parents didn't even buy the Mallorca house until she was well into her 20s? And it turned out she had been to Spain something like twice for two weeks each? I don't remember the details but I remember it being REALLY egregious, her "ties" to the country were super limited. |
Her father David Thomas loved Spanish culture. This is a piece he wrote. He and Hilary’s mother moved to Spain 2011 although it seems they still spend a lot of time in the USA as well.

My family loved horses.
I was never confused though- I didn’t think I was a horse. Hilaria is a freak. |
I clicked on the link. They had a picture of their seven kids with their names listed: The couple share Carmen, Rafael, Leonardo, Romeo, Eduardo, María and Ilaria. No Hispanic heritage between Alec from NY and Hilary from Boston and these are their kids' names. How weird to cosplay a Spanish family. |
I would love to know what her relationship is like with her parents and what they think of all of this. Also thoughts from the brother who has an actually Spanish wife! |
The weirdest part to me is not only is she not Spanish, but she doesn’t even SPEAK Spanish! There are a handful of clips of her saying one or two simple, present tense sentences (with an admittedly good accent), but there are no long interviews or podcasts where she’s speaking fluently. It’s just so crazy. |
She was definitely an adult when they moved to Spain, but she made it her whole identity. "My family lives in Spain." |
A snort laugh feels extremely appropriate here. |
LOL I can't believe I missed that comment. Good one PP. |
I feel like you are coming into episode 9 of the Star Wars franchise and saying “that’s weird that they’re in outer space but it’s still sort of old timey.” |
So is she going to pretend that she never had the accent? Are her kids like “mommy why do you talk like someone from Newton now?” I can’t decide if this is more weird or less weird than continuing to stick with the fake accent. Will she remember how to say cucumber? |
Anyone else think they are trying to cash in after the terrible accident caused by economic shooting his producer?
I saw a commercial on tv for their show and it said something about "life after tragedy" but isnt the real tragedy for the family that lost a mother/wife/daughter? Not the grifters who spent a lot of money on lawyers. |
ONE of the tragedies is that this happened and caused a lot of trouble for Baldwin and his wife and therefore, their kids. Trying to parent 7 kids when they didn't know if he was going to jail or would ever work again would be difficult. Yes, they have money and nannies, but I think she's a present parent. And probably wasn't for a time because this happened. |
