Hilaria Baldwin's reality show 'The Baldwins' premieres with her addressing her identity controversy, sparked by claims she faked being Latina. She insists her bilingualism is normal, but she faced backlash for misrepresenting her background. Once hailed as Alec Baldwin's glamorous wife, she was exposed for claiming a Spanish identity when she was actually born in Boston. This revelation led to widespread criticism, including being labeled an 'identity hoaxer' by The Atlantic. Baldwin's claims of cultural representation clash with the documentation of her true origins, igniting a debate on authenticity versus performance in identity.
The mixing of languages is the result of her bilingual upbringing, she says. My nuclear family now lives over in Spain, Hilaria Baldwin says.
According to the Daily Mail and the Los Angeles Times, the premiere episode shows the 41-year-old mother of seven explaining that it's always been normal for her to mix English and Spanish.
Hilaria Baldwin didn't become a tabloid figure, embroiled in a bizarre controversy over her identity in late 2020, just because she sometimes mixed up the two languages in her public appearances.
The Atlantic labeled her an identity hoaxer, alongside the likes of Rachel Dolezal and Jessica Krug, after she spent years presenting herself as nebulously Hispanic.
