Madonna is a weirdo too. |
Madonna also did not claim to be British. |
LOL "Baldwinitos" |
Was she really born on Mallorca? Is she a US citizen? |
How about get a life? Mind your own business and live your own little stupid shitty life. This comment above shows how obsessed you are. Yes she is pretty and rich. Stop crying about it. Go shopping at Whole Foods, paint your dirty ugly toenails, fck your dopey husband, give your kids a bath, and shut up already. |
Cálmate, Hilaria |
Hilary’s here, folks! |
| She was born in Spain because her family was there on vacation. And I doubt that nasty comment above is Hilaria. She doesn’t speak that way. Probably a friend of hers or a fan. |
| I feel really bad for the kids. They could have had nice Irish Catholic names like Alec's family, and now they are going to grow up thinking they are spanish. |
Her mom did not fly from New York to Mallorca while she was 9 months pregnant and in the middle of med school, especially considering they have no family there. No way. |
Really? I don't know anyone who would willingly choose to have a baby while on vacation abroad. In fact, the only time I've ever heard of someone having a baby away from home is when she went into very early, like at 24 weeks, preterm labor. I think it's fair conclusion that she was, in fact, born in Massachusetts. |
| I never thought of that. Oh wow that would be crazy if she made that up!! Although it’s already crazy that she has a fake accent, changed her name from Hilary to Hilaria, and documents every second of her life on social media. |
EVEN if she was born there, which is unlikely, pretending to be Spanish is absurd. I lived in Japan when I was young, spoke Japanese and visited often after and no way in hell would I ever claim, act, let people believe I was Japanese. Because I am not. |
I personally think her kids' names are beautiful, as are Spanish people and Spanish culture. They are lucky to have such beautiful names. I have a sibling with a Spanish-sounding name even though we don't have that heritage. The difference between my sibling and these kids is, my sibling was never raised to think she actually belonged to a Spanish-speaking culture. Re: where she was born and her ancestry, my guess is that this truly is a Rachel Dolezal situation, although without the overtly racial element, since it's just someone of European ancestry appropriating another type of European ancestry. Of course, there are the problematic claims of "Latina" identity and the projection of common stereotypes (the sexy Latina, the dyed-black hair (when indeed many Spaniards are blonde), the nanny). The more I have read through this thread, the more I think that claiming ancestry you don't have must be incredibly common, especially in America - it's just that the internet has made it possible for average Joes and Janes to research people's genealogy. How many other Hilaria/Hillarys are there out there? Any suggestions? |
oops pp here, when I said "the nanny" above I should have said "the claims of being mistaken for the nanny" |
