This isn’t code switching, this is lying.

Right. I can’t believe anyone is bothering to defend her.
Heck, it sounds like she could join the Daughters of the American Revolution.
Lol - the little expression after saying Mallorca. Plus, what a Jersey accent - how did anyone ever buy it, anyway?
And the ‘It’s not my fault I’m tiny’ - BARF
Please stop excusing her behavior. She and her entire family were born in the US and have zero Hispanic heritage. She only spent her summer vacations at her rich parents vacation home in Spain. She may be in love with Spanish culture, but that doesn’t give her permission to wear it like a costume and mislead everyone
this is the opposite of code switching, she married a baldwin and in her own home produces a fake accent.
Does the brain also make her claim to have moved to the US from Spain at the age of 19 in order to attend college?
This isn’t code switching. It’s lying.
LOL. Oh, she is definitely a grifter.
Because it’s fucking weird?
Everything I have ever read about Hilaria Baldwin has to do with her being the “mysterious Spanish yoga instructor” who swept Alec off his feet.
Damn right! The only person who can insult Baldwin’s family is Baldwin himself! Now where’s that thoughtless pig daughter of his?
Ugh, Hillary. Mallorca = Catalan and Ave Maria is in Latin not Spanish. I pity her kids having such creepy parents.
Alec has mentioned in several interviews that his wife is from Spain.
She went to school, full-time, kindergarten through college, in the United States. And vacationed in Mallorca, part of a Catalonian-majority autonomous province, some summers with her parents. So no, the Spanish accent and language from her full-time education in the United States doesn’t get a pass as an “innocent…
Then what about the fact that she claims to have grown up in Spain (when she grew up in Boston) and that her family is Spanish (they are Americans who moved to Spain when they retired)? Does that get any side-eye from you?
The other thing that is interesting about this to me personally, but that nobody is mentioning is that if she really had grown up in Mallorca it’s unlikely she would primarily and solely speak Spanish as her 2nd language as Catalan is what is predominantly spoken on that island. I speak fluent Spanish and have visited…
I’m sorry, but - I am not giving any passes in my own personal judgement (for what fuck all that is worth ;) - she’s an even bigger asshole then I knew.
I have no trouble believing that she changed her name from Hilary to Hilaria. None.
I went to High School with her back when she was plain old Hilary. Weirds me out every time I see her in the news.
