Hilaria Baldwin

My God is this woman bloody tone deaf, stupid or such a narcissist that she really doesn’t care? Posting pics on Instagram of her and Alec dressed up for Halloween with their kids, with a little sob story about how “parenting through this has been intense.”
By all means let your kids celebrate Halloween but have some bloody sensitivity and awareness! Posting on social media, for the world to see, just days after your husband shot and killed a woman; a wife and mother.
Halyna’s son won’t be celebrating Halloween.

she renamed herself Hilaria

that says it all

@Lipsandlashes

I didn't realise that was his wife! I assumed it was a journalist who was getting a bit too close. I thought that too until DH corrected me. What an utterly bizarre creature she is. I also agree that Alec looks completely on the edge but surely he must be able to tell her to rein it in for everyone's sake
Even in that interview she spoke English with a Spanish accent. Bonkers.

@WalkersAreNotTheOnlyCrisps

She's, how you say in English? Fake and annoying.

[quote Tagcurious]@JesusInTheCabbageVan you don’t accuse anyone else of not talking about Halyna. Only me. Because I am not jumping on the pile on to slag off Hilaria. That’s so hypocritical.
Also, where’s the criticism for Alex Baldwin dressing up and being on an Instagram post? Fancy being such woman haters and not even knowing it. If you don’t like how she parents or presents herself and her family, why not try being quiet? Especially at a time like this.[/quote]
Oh, come off it. I tend to agree that her Instagram post was unnecessary and completely tone deaf. So I'm not going to argue with someone else who thinks the same as me, because there's nothing to argue about.

If AB had posted about his parenting struggles and 'dada heart' I would feel exactly the same way. It's a bit harder to criticise him though, because we don't even know if he agreed to HB plastering the photos all over Instagram.

Anyway, you'll notice I haven't actually objected to you defending HB. I've objected to you attacking the OP, because I think you're being unfair to describe her as 'trolling' and 'using' Halyna's death.

@StrychnineInTheSandwiches

Is she still Spanish and pretending she doesn't know what the English word for cucumber is?
@StrychnineInTheSandwiches

apparently she had apologised for being misleading about her heritage and for not explicitly declaring that she wasn't Spanish (Latina/Hispanic - whichever applies).

sidenote: I'm learning Spanish so last week I happened to be reading about "pause sounds" in Spanish and one poster (a while ago) said that because her fluent & almost flawless language skills, including using pause sounds well, has fooled native Spanish-speakers everywhere.
I think she got attention through that and rode the wave of lying by omission instead of coming clean.
that was quite a misstep; I can't decide if it was a judgement in error or malicious.

weirdly enough, because then I proceeded to read about her, I saw these news ads flashes about Alec Baldwin and shooting someon. I thought it was a fake story clickbait so ignored it. 😳

@JesusInTheCabbageVan It think it’s you who needs to ‘come on.’
This thread is set up to troll a woman. It’s awful and all of you who are contributing to the pile on need to take a long hard look at yourselves.

ManifestingWisdom · 01/11/2021 17:16

Im not Spanush either but my dad worked in spain when i was yoinh and i went back as a youmg adult
Her spanish is very good. Possibly a lot of filler words though, aye, por dios. But she must have reasons for feeling so connected to spain. She is a bit strange but if men can identify as women who is she harming.

namechangerino · 01/11/2021 17:28

ManifestingWisdom to us as Europeans it may seem harmless but for many in the US she has effectively been doing what Rachel Doziel was accused of doing - appropriating the struggles of marginalized people such as immigrants from Mexico, for her own gain. She has talked about being treated differently because people think she is the nanny due to her accent. I laughed when I first found out she was pretending to be Spanish as it seemed as absurd as me pretending to be French but exploring the issue more it actually has very different and offensive connotations in the US.

You can report it if you think it's trolling.

Cocolapew · 01/11/2021 17:31

Nobody is trolling her Confused
What we are doing is saying she's insenstive, attention seeking and bonkers. Because she is.

ManifestingWisdom · 01/11/2021 17:32

I see what you're getting at but if they dont realise spain is in europe then that is not spain's fault. It is their mistake. They undrstand that England is not America. Same logic with Spain.

Tagcurious · 01/11/2021 17:33

I know I can, but I would rather people see their actions for what they are. I guess it’s the same old story of social media not understanding that the people they talk about are real people. If your next door neighbour accidentally killed someone, would you tear his wife to pieces? I’d like to think not. But that’s exactly what you are doing here. It’s awful.

Mrsjayy · 01/11/2021 17:35

She is beyond batshit I can't get over the Spanish hoha,this is awful do they not have "staff" to run their Instagram?she clear.y ,isn't capable of using any sense.

Tagcurious · 01/11/2021 17:35

@Cocolapew I disagree. I can see I am in the minority so why don’t you all crack on because you clearly all get some sort of satisfaction from it which is beyond my comprehension.

This thread isn't trolling.

StrychnineInTheSandwiches · 01/11/2021 17:36

trolling my ass

Cocolapew · 01/11/2021 17:38

If she doesn't want to be talked about maybe she should stay off SM, if you put yourself out there people are going to have opinions.
She doesn't seem to be bothered by any type of criticism though, image being found out you're putting an acccent on and not crawling under a rock with embarrassment.

wallowmall · 01/11/2021 17:38

. I guess it’s the same old story of social media not understanding that the people they talk about are real people.

It's ok to criticise people. The women who died & her family are also real people.

I think it's pretty awful to post gosh aren't me and my kids having Halloween fun a week after your husband has killed a mother.

I suspect Hilaria will be much more upset by the extensive media coverage that is slating her than a thread on a forum

Tagcurious · 01/11/2021 17:40

@wallowmill And you are their self-appointed spokesperson? Do you think they would read this thread and be happy? I doubt it.

wallowmall · 01/11/2021 17:41

Social media is about PR, why should any of the public be quiet?

it's not trolling.

or do you think that every thread discussing a famous person is trolling?
you are not making sense so have a hard look at yourself

Tagcurious · 01/11/2021 17:42

@Cocolapew people who are in the public eye, even those who choose to be so through Instagram or whatever, are not fair game. Your attitude is very dangerous.

Noeuf · 01/11/2021 17:42

If my neighbour killed someone and his wife posted ‘poor me we are so brave look how sexy I am as a witch’ photos I would criticise her. See also - intertwined hands and how they are there for each other

wallowmall · 01/11/2021 17:43

And you are their self-appointed spokesperson?

How did you extrapolate that? I think they would agree with they are real people though.

Do you think they would read this thread and be happy? I doubt it.

I have no idea, I'm sure they will be thrilled at the halloween insta posts though 🙄
