Hilaria Baldwin Addresses Fake Accent Controversy, Says She’s Still ‘Hurt’

More than four years ago, Hilaria Baldwin was embroiled in a controversy concerning her Spanish accent. In the debut episode of their new reality series, The Baldwins, airing on TLC on February 23, 2025, she addressed this topic for the first time.

What did Hilaria Baldwin say about fake accent controversy?

In the series titled “The Baldwins,” Hilaria Baldwin appears alongside her spouse, actor Alec Baldwin, as well as their children. It was during the first episode of the show that she decided to discuss the accusations regarding her accent, which she claims caused her feelings of sadness and pain.

Hilaria Baldwin expressed that she adores English and Spanish, and when she blends these two languages together, she finds it to be a common occurrence rather than something inauthentic. She went on to mention that the controversy surrounding her language usage has caused her sadness, pain, and even led her to dark places.

As a gamer, I’d say: Growing up, my crew was diverse, with folks fluent in various tongues and roots spread across different lands. This multicultural mix has undeniably shaped the way we communicate, our choice of words, and even our unique quirks. It’s just being human, you know? Embracing our rich tapestry of experiences and influences.

Significantly, Alec and Hilaria Baldwin—known for her roles as a yoga instructor, businesswoman, podcaster, and author—exchanged vows in June 2012. However, in December 2020, allegations arose that Hilaria had been pretending to have a Spanish accent and later, cultural appropriation. In response, she explained that she lived part of her life in Massachusetts and part in Spain, and identified herself as culturally adaptable or fluid.

In a recent statement, Hilaria Baldwin announced that she’s raising her children to be bilingual. She explained, “Since we now reside with our immediate family in Spain, I aim to instill in my kids the pride of being able to communicate in more than one language. I believe there’s something truly unique about growing up and speaking two languages.

The Baldwins airs on Sundays at 10:00 pm ET.
