Hilaria Baldwin Under Fire: Accusations of Fake Accent Resurface
SCANDAL ROCKS DWTS: HILARIA BALDWIN'S ACCENT GATE HEATS UP AGAIN
The drama never ends for reality TV star Hilaria Baldwin! The 41-year-old mom of seven is back in the spotlight, and this time it's not just about her impressive dance moves on Dancing With The Stars (DWTS). No, no! This time, she's under fire for something much more serious: her accent.
In a recent interview with Good Morning America, Hilaria opened up about her experience on DWTS, but viewers were quick to notice that she was still sporting a hint of that infamous Spanish accent. Remember when she got caught faking it back in 2020? Yeah, well, it seems like old habits die hard!
The comments section on social media was ablaze with accusations and insults. "Why is she talking like a toddler?" someone asked, while another slammed, "Still trying to sound hispanic! Stop it already!" One viewer even declared, "That fake accent is like nails in a chalkboard!"
But what's really going on here? In her 2020 memoir, Manual Not Included, Hilaria claimed that her fluctuating accent is due to ADHD and dyslexia. According to her, her brain just works differently. She wrote, "And these [diagnoses] greatly impact my speech, my reading, my listening, my focus, my memory and my self-confidence."
Hilaria was joined by her dance partner Gleb Savchenko for the GMA interview, where she spoke about her journey to joining DWTS. "This was just an insane thing that I did," she confessed. "At the beginning, I was like 'am I crazy?' I signed the paperwork between landing and getting my bags – that's how fast this whole thing was!"
But what really got viewers talking was when Hilaria explained why she moved her seven kids to LA to film DWTS. She said they were about to start school in New York, but she transferred them to a new life in Los Angeles instead. And guess what? The kids are loving it! "It's an adventure," Hilaria gushed. "I was worried it would be not fair to them, but actually, it's been one of the best things that's ever happened to them."
Despite being an enthusiastic participant, Hilaria found herself in the bottom three on Tuesday night during One-Hit Wonders Night. Luckily, she managed to squeak by and make it to the next round.
But wait, there's more! The Baldwin family made headlines earlier this month when they gave fans a tour of their home in Amagansett, New York. However, it was a painting that really got people talking – or rather, ranting on social media!
The artwork, created by artist Brendan O'Connell, shows Hilaria bagging up some fruit in a grocery store while wearing sunglasses and standing in front of shelves filled with Rice-A-Roni boxes. Yeah, it's a real... um, masterpiece.
When asked about the painting, Hilaria said, "I have to admit that I'm extraordinarily embarrassed that there is a gigantic painting of me in this room. It's like, 'Welcome to my living room. Here is a painting of me.'"
Commenters on Alec Baldwin's social media post were merciless, with one saying, "That painting is an embarrassment!" Another chimed in, "What kind of ego do you have to need a giant painting of yourself?"
So, what's the verdict? Will Hilaria's accent scandal be the final straw for her fans, or will she manage to bounce back from this latest controversy? One thing's for sure – we'll be keeping an eye on this drama-filled reality TV star!
