Hilaria Baldwin may have finally admitted she was born in Boston and identifies as “a white girl,” but her husband, Alec Baldwin, is standing by her and her continued use of what most people are fairly certain is a fake Spanish accent.
On Monday, People magazine published an essay by staff writer Ale Russian criticizing Hilaria from the perspective of an immigrant. Entitled “Why the Hilaria Baldwin Scandal Is Painful for Immigrants — Including Me,” the essay details Russian’s experience, discusses how many immigrants are marginalized, and calls out Hilaria for using an “exaggerated” accent “that she appropriated as an adult,” among other things.
