Kind of like Donald Trump has an endless number of threads with him as the focus?

Now stay with me here, it's complicated. There's a slight difference between POTUS/former POTUS and a barely still relevant actor's wife's instagram.

...she hasnt left the public sphere lmao? She keeps pimping out her kids on her instagram while alec does damage control on his socials. Her grift and her non apology/ denial is what makes people keep tabs lmao. Imagine if rachel dolezal kept digging her heels in the way hilary is. She could easily stop updating her socials and go back to being hilary thomas baldwin but she keeps clinging with alec to being victims who are "tired". She wasnt too tired to pop off about james Gandolfinis funeral or any other slight offense she took at literally anything.

PP here. Oh man! I thought she had left. I don’t have Instagram so didn’t realize. Hopefully she doesn’t have a wide audience anymore? Gross.

There are many people who are endlessly posting about such things as Melania and her fashion faux pas or Trump and his orange face and thick middle while playing golf. The point is that it doesn't mean people are "endlessly fascinated." They can be endlessly disgusted.

What’s it like to have a blog on a message board?

Agree, no evidence. I grew up in a middle eastern country. I have friends I still keep in contact with, report cards from the American school I attended and lots of pictures from my time there with family and friends. She has offered none of these from her time in Spain.

And I’m willing to bet that if someone questioned the time you spent there you’d have friends and family who would come to your defense. So far, only a doctored text from her brother has supported her claim.

Absolutely. Hilaria hasn't given any evidence that she has spent any significant time in Spain. She seems to have only superficial knowledge of the culture (paella, flamenco, fans)

I’ve been reading these posts for awhile and want to add one other part of “Hilaria” she pushed on her followers that is bound to make other postpartum mothers feel inadequate: her obsessive frozen breastmilk stash. Albeit quite the impressive amount, her advice was basically to pump before nursing, after nursing, for a few minutes every hour all day, before exercising, after exercising, etc, etc, ETC.. She showed smug images of her extra freezer that allegedly Alec gifted her just for the milk. Yes, those tactics do improve milk supply. And good for her that this feat is such a priority. But who can maintain that intensity while also living and enjoying life? It’s realistically unattainable unless you have help to watch your other children, something she scrubs from her motherhood image. I’m smart and well adjusted enough to see through it all but will admit even I felt a fleeting flicker of failure at my current sad frozen stash with Baby 3. But then I kissed my kids, played with PlayDoh, and appreciated the extra freezer space ;(

If you had someone bringing you clean pump parts and then taking away the pump, and all the other in between logistics work that goes into regular pumping I am sure you would be more likely to have more too!

The part of all this that is so disingenuous is the lack of acknowledgement that there is other help. I’m not saying that mothers owe each other the play by play of every single childcare and household detail. When you strive to be a mom lifestyle account though, leaving out any mention or acknowledgement of help in getting stuff done is inauthentic and also unrealistic for all the moms out there watching you in earnest.

This applies to Hilaria but also any mom who strives to be a leader in the mom lifestyle social media space. This omission of crucial mothering and household management information makes it so that Hilaria’s account vibes like it is more about applauding herself than helping moms. This dynamic is what makes her unlikeable and disingenuous. Yea, she isn’t a bad person, but she’s also not helping a single mom soul out there. Major eye roll to people like this.

If each child has a nanny plus you have someone doing all of the household management tasks, then performative motherhood on Insta, like bragging about your breastmilk stash, is a piece of cake.

Hilaria's mother was in internal medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital. She left the hospital and began a program of holistically treating people (Odyssey Journey). Kathryn was my therapist 2x/week for about a year before I left. I felt she was gunning for a high end clientele (ran the circuit of trying to get into exclusive clubs/gyms in Boston with her Mediterranean diet meal plan and energy medicine colleagues). She had a private practice out of her home in Beacon Hill and after less than one year, my husband said he thought she was detrimental to my psyche. She hired people whom she referred her clients to ("energy medicine gurus/medical intuitives") that were unfit to treat people as they had their own personal issues. Some of Kathryn's approaches were questionable and detrimental and also full of risks. I could go on but don't want to reflect back on that time...I do believe she meant well but her ego made her feel super-human. After 10 months I stopped therapy with her and felt free again. I had some issues to address but I'll never go back to a therapist based on my experience with her. My husband and I had a number of couples therapy sessions with her and at one point he said he never wanted to meet with her again. I agreed. Years later, our marriage is strong, we have a child, and our reflections of Kathryn are sadly similar but we persevered. Just some personal reflections...

Every time she talked our posted about it, I was reminded of her disordered body image and eating issues. The connect was so very clear.

Was she doing individual or couples. Ethically she really isn't supposed to do both-it's a boundary issue. Is she even trained and licensed in psychiatry?

[Anonymous]

She was doing both. She was not trained or licensed in psychiatry. She said that in her practice at MGH she saw a "need" for more holistic approaches to "healing." She preached and pushed and forced her opinions...honestly I didn't feel there was mal intent, it was that she felt that she knew best and it didn't work to have a third person in my marriage. Again, I'll never go back to a therapist given my experience with her.

She had many clients who thought very highly of her and she did help a number of people but some of her work was extremely detrimental...and she wasn't licensed or trained. "Odyssey Journey" was an extremely expensive venture into mind control which she called holistic healing.

Honestly between your story and seeing her "study" and endorsement of her own son's food service program (without noting she is her mother in her rec), she sounds like a quack herself. Sounds like narcissism and ethics lapses run deep. I am sure she thought she was doing good. I am sure her daughter also thinks she is teaching us all how to be breast feeding, soft porn yoga gals for happiness.

Regarding all the people who write Stop
hating on Hilaria... This entire thread is about Hilaria. If I didn't care about an issue, I wouldn't go on to that thread. So the people on this thread are either shaking our heads and marveling at her "chutzpah" and cluelessness and lies... or - and this is the only other choice -- PR people for Hilaria or her friends or Hilaria herself. Nobody is coming on here because they are not interested, and nobody can really defend her behavior.
If you are Team Hilaria (or Hilaria!) stop telling us not to write here. And stop pretending you're not invested in the story because why else would you be on this thread?!
