Hilaria Baldwin has written — how you say — a memoir
All that fuss over my fake accent: it's just misogyny, sexism, and misunderstanding! Plus I'm NEURODIVERGENT! And I have the — how you say — dyslexia and ADHD!
[quote]Ms. Baldwin was born Hillary Hayward-Thomas in Boston. She grew up traveling back and forth to Majorca, she has said, a place her father had felt strongly connected to since his childhood. But over time, that distinction blurred, with a biography on the website of her talent agency, Creative Arts Agency, at one point stating that she was born in Mallorca. Ms. Baldwin also spoke with what The Times once referred to as “a slight Spanish accent” from “a childhood split between Boston and Spain.” Her own husband once said, on a late-night TV show, “My wife is from Spain.” Ms. Baldwin writes in her book that she identified as “multicultural” and that she “code-switched” between Spanish and English.
[quote]Her fluctuating accent, she writes, is now more widely understood as a fate of many bilingual people. She cited research from a friend who is in medical school, complete with terms such as “Wernicke’s area,” “anterior cingulate cortex” and “basal ganglia.”

Stupid bitch – I grew up with a French mother and have been to France many many times – yet since I grew up in Connecticut, I have the most generic Connecticut accent.

You know what would be 100 times more interesting than this spun-yarn drivel she's put out?
Admit to it! Cop to the fact that she went to Mallorca once or twice (which is actually true - it was only a few times, and her parents didn't move there until she was 27) and she decided she was a boring person and wanted to be perceived as exotic and not some Boston-Baked-Bean-Big-Boobed-Broad.
She should fashion it as a "tell-all" on how she always wanted to be more than a humdrum white girl - wanted to be famous, actually. She decided the best way to do this (once her Yoga Instructor BS fell through) is to do what her parents did and become a con, land a famous actor from NY, and play the long game.
She'd probably sell a lot more books with the dysfunctional, psycho truth than with the shit she's attempting to fling now.

Apparently there's an excerpt in her memoir about the accent fiasco where she writes:
You would think with all the media attention and hysteria I had killed someone!

She's just so ridiculous. I wouldn't believe a word she says. I can't stand either of them.

Total Cluster B. They can’t help themselves. They’d rather cut off a finger than admit they were wrong. All this contorting to rationalize that she’s a lying, gold-digging, conniving, phony bitch whose “mask” is that of a Spanish woman because she knows she’s totally forgettable, uninteresting and worthless without it. That and being a human incubator for a litter of doomed children.
The part about a medical student diagnosing her as having an official pathology that results in her identity crisis is a new level of batshit rationalization.
If she would just shut up about it, people would just ignore her instead of attack her countless lies.
Old narcissists are pathetically predictable.

What I want to know is, at what point did dumdum Alec figure out he was being scammed? Was he in on it quite early or did he not figure it out until after they got married and had kids?

She’s so narcissistic that she doesn’t realize every time she cuts open this self-inflicted wound she opens herself up to more scrutiny of her lies and deceptions. Which is a type of attention so that’s probably all that matters.
She was always just marginal looking. What she had was youth. Now she’s just a common middle-aged cow. With more kids than the Old Woman in the Shoe.
Alec will be her one and only.

She’s not a cow, she’s a -how do you say- gristly old nag?
