Hilaria Baldwin, a New York wellness personality and yoga studio owner who’s married to actor Alec Baldwin, came under fire on social media over the weekend for misrepresenting her heritage and nationality over several years. But from there, some social media users took note that Baldwin’s “Spanish” accent was fluctuating and switching to standard Northeastern U.S. English. “We live in a world now where we’re hidden behind the anonymity of social media. In her video explainer, Baldwin hints that she began using “Hilaria” while dancing at the private Cambridge School of Weston in Massachusetts. Later, @lenibriscoe, the Twitter user who threaded out Hilaria Baldwin’s media miscues, shot down a critique suggesting Baldwin’s behavior is bizarre but otherwise innocent.
