Boston-born Hilaria Baldwin shares another Spanglish video despite backlash over ‘fake’ accent

Hilaria Baldwin has defiantly continued to use her ‘fake’ Spanish accent in a new Instagram video, days after raising eyebrows for ‘forgetting’ the English word for ‘onions’ in a recent video.

Hilaria, 40, was born Hillary Hayward-Thomas in an upscale neighborhood of Boston but was exposed by DailyMail.com four years ago for listing her birthplace as Mallorca, Spain, on her agency’s website.

While her parents live in Mallorca, she grew up in the United States and is American, but she often uses a Spanish accent in interviews.

Despite being called out by fans for her continued use of the accent, the star proved once again that she has no plans to stop when she posted a video of herself speaking in Spanglish with her two-year-old daughter Ilaria on Wednesday.

In the video, the mother of seven was heard talking to her daughter in Spanish as she asked, “Cómo te lamas?” [What is your name?].’

Revealing that Ilaria likes to call herself ‘baby boss’ – the animated character famously voiced by Hilaria’s husband Alec Baldwin, 66 – the former yoga instructor was heard calling her daughter a ‘beautiful baby boss’ in her signature accent.

She wrote in the caption, “She calls herself ‘baby boss’ and this is how the boss applies ‘yip-stit’… and she’s so smushable.”

The new video comes days later DailyMail.com has exclusively obtained videos It revealed that Hilaria appeared to forget how to pronounce the word ‘onions’ in English as she treated her holiday guests to ‘traditional’ Spanish tortilla.

She was seen on a video saying: ‘I learned this as a child, don’t look it up online because you will learn something different.’

The yogi explained that the secret to her recipe was making sure the potatoes “were not cut too small,” and then turned to her friend and appeared to forget the English word ‘onions’.

“My husband hates… cebollas,” Hilaria said with a pause in front of her friend quickly reminded her that she was looking for the word “onions.”

After the video was shared, neurohacking biopsychologist Dr. Mary Poffenroth shed light on some reasons why someone might continually embellish their cultural identity on DailyMail.com.

She explained, “Some individuals may distort their cultural identity because of a deep-seated insecurity about their true sense of self.”

‘If a person feels that their real identity is somehow lacking or inadequate, their limbic system – the emotional processing center of the brain – may prompt them to seek out a more ‘exotic’ or interesting cultural personality , ‘Dr. Poffenroth, who wrote Brave new youexplained.

“Although it is not their own need, this need to fit in with a different cultural group can provide a sense of self-worth and belonging that they may lack in their daily lives.”

When asked why someone would continue this behavior even after being exposed or discovered, Dr. Poffenroth, who lives in California, that this could be because they “ignore or dismiss any evidence or criticism that conflicts with their false cultural narrative.” they “focus only on the positive feedback and validation they receive.”

“Their belief in the validity of their chosen identity can be strengthened by this selective attention, making it challenging for them to accept the truth,” says Dr. Poffenroth, who works in mental health and researches how the nervous system and brain form mental processes and behavior, added.

Family and child psychologist Caitlin Slavensbased in Canada, also explained, “Pretending that we are from a culture that we are not usually comes from a deep desire for acceptance or belonging.”

“Some feel disconnected from their identity and think that assimilation will provide them with better social and professional opportunities,” she continued, explaining that Hilaria seemingly had “a deep connection to Spanish culture, which was nurtured and highly encouraged in her childhood .’

“Once exposed, they may continue the behavior as a way to avoid shame or maintain the identity they have built — especially if they have linked their self-esteem or public persona to the behavior,” the founder said from Mama Psychologists.

In 2015, the entrepreneur first went viral for apparently forgetting a simple word in her native language while cooking.

At the time, Hilaria appeared in a now infamous six-minute segment on the Today Show making an “authentic” gazpacho.

The author of the Living Clear Method listed the ingredients and at one point seemed to forget the English word for “cucumber.”

‘We have tomatoes, we have, um, how do you say that in English? Cucumber,” Hilaria said at the time.

Hilaria and her 30-year-old rock star husband have also given Spanish names to all their seven children: Carmen Gabriela, 10, Rafael Thomas, 8, Leonardo Angel Charles, 7, Romeo Alejandro David, 6, Eduardo Pao Lucas, 3, Maria Lucia Victoria, 3, and Ilaria Catalina Irena.

In a 2021 Instagram video, Hilaria defended her behavior, claiming that although she was born in Boston, she spent “some” of her childhood in Spain and “some” of it in Massachusetts.

“There’s been a lot of back and forth throughout my life,” she said. ‘I’m really lucky that I grew up speaking two different languages ​​and I try to raise my children to speak two languages ​​too.

“And that’s something very important to me, especially because I have my family abroad.”

Records show that Hilaria’s parents, attorney David Thomas and Harvard Medical School professor Kathryn Hayward, have a fFive-bedroom, five-bathroom house in Boston’s Beacon Hill neighborhood in June 1987, when Hilaria was just three and didn’t move until she was 28.

Neighbors there remembered her as a “very entitled young lady.” What they couldn’t remember was a Spanish accent.
