Megyn Kelly Critiques Hilaria Baldwin's Fame Strategy Amid DWTS Backlash
Spotted: Hilaria Baldwin's Desperate Attempt to Stay Relevant, and Megyn Kelly is Not Having It!
In a scathing takedown, media personality Megyn Kelly has blasted Hilaria Baldwin for her latest antics, labeling her a fame-seeker who will do anything to stay in the spotlight. The 54-year-old TV host shared her thoughts on Baldwin's infamous Spanish accent, which made a surprising return during a recent interview on Dancing With The Stars.
Kelly, never one to mince words, told her guest Maureen Callahan on The Megyn Kelly Show that she feels sorry for Baldwin: "She's basically just doing anything she can to keep herself in the news." The presenter listed Baldwin's various attempts at staying relevant, from her reality show stint with husband Alec to her brief career as a home expert on the Today Show.
Kelly couldn't help but poke fun at Baldwin's fluctuating accent, describing it as "camouflaging who she is in many ways." Callahan jokingly added that English might be Baldwin's second language, and Kelly playfully chimed in with a wink. The two hosts also noted that Baldwin's fake tan and body makeup during her Good Morning America interview didn't quite live up to her usual polished image.
Baldwin, who was accused of faking a Spanish accent back in 2020, has since claimed that her brain "just works differently" due to ADHD and dyslexia. However, Kelly isn't buying it: "She's basically just trying to make money and stay relevant." The journalist's comments come after Baldwin released her memoir, Manual Not Included, where she opened up about her struggles with focus and self-confidence.
Kelly has a history of speaking out against Baldwin's antics, including when she appeared on Link Lauren's podcast Spot On With Link Lauren. Kelly called out Baldwin for being "kooky" and only interested in making money through her various ventures. When discussing Baldwin's marriage to Alec, Kelly claimed that their relationship is "fame-driven": "She knows that she is only interesting because she is his wife... And let's face it, he is one of the biggest stars in America."
The latest controversy surrounding Baldwin involves a Reddit user sharing a screenshot of her comment section on Instagram. The fan had disparaged other contestants and the scoring system on Dancing With The Stars, which Baldwin had apparently liked. "It takes credibility from the show," the fan wrote. "Other participants didn't perform as well as you did, and they got higher scores. Very disappointing... not credible at all." This development has sparked a heated debate among fans, with some calling out Baldwin for hypocrisy.
As TheScholarlyNote.com reported earlier this month, Baldwin's memoir caused quite the stir when she addressed her infamous accent controversy. She explained that her brain processes language differently due to ADHD and dyslexia: "My brain just works differently... And these [diagnoses] greatly impact my speech, my reading, my listening, my focus, my memory and my self-confidence." However, Kelly remains unconvinced by Baldwin's explanations.
In the wake of this latest drama, it seems that Megyn Kelly has once again called out Hilaria Baldwin for her questionable behavior. Will the reality star be able to shake off these accusations and maintain her relevance in the public eye? Only time will tell!
