Wait, wait, wait... even assuming FL’s stand your ground law puts the onus on the prosecutor to prove it wasn’t self defense, how does this: “In an effort to try and keep his secret, he fatally shot my son in the back of the head twice”. How is that not proof that it wasn’t self defense? Was the victim facing away…
Argh, I agree, that moment was so cringe-y and gross. I was previously feeling a little sorry for her—this is incredibly embarrassing and pathetically attention-seeking in a way that I thought might be based in insecurity. Her former classmates call her kind and her stepdaughter calls her a great mom and wife. Plus…
This isn’t code switching, this is lying.
Right. I can’t believe anyone is bothering to defend her.
Lol - the little expression after saying Mallorca. Plus, what a Jersey accent - how did anyone ever buy it, anyway?
Except, somehow, Jack Donaghy, the arch-conservative elitist racist asshole, is somehow more redeemable than Alec Baldwin.
We are all Liz Lemon in this scenario.
LOL. Oh, she is definitely a grifter.
Shoot after a couple of episodes into Love Island my husband and I are almost fully British at this point.
Because it’s fucking weird?
Spain is a nation.
Spanish is a nationality, not a race.
No, her family isn't Spanish. They are all New England WASPS.
There’s a lengthy comment tut-tutting at everyone for failing to understand code-switching. Meanwhile, this broad is just straight up playing pretend. I don’t get it; there are links people could click to get the background info, but instead the reaction is to blindly defend her. Is the gut reaction to pity her…
I noticed Meghan Markle had some British inflection to her voice as well after being married for a while. I remember Madge doing it too but can’t recall if she went full throttle with the accent or if it was just certain words. Anyways, it totally makes sense in those cases as both women lived in the UK at the time.…
Yeah I'm really confused why people are trying to make it out like this woman isn't a lying grifter. It's very weird.
Her family is not Spanish and moved to Spain to retire. The fact that she gave another impression tells you all you need to know.
Well, no. Vacationing in Mallorca with your rich American family does not make a Massachusetts prep school graduate named Hillary into someone who would say “How do you sayee in eengleesh ‘coocumber?’” It’s not like visiting your relatives in Georgia and coming back saying “ya’ll” for a week.
Baldwin says she went by “Hilary” in the U.S. and “Hilaria” in Spain because “neither name sounded good in the other language.”
It’s sort of like how Madonna started speaking with a British accent after hanging out in London for awhile. Except Madonna didn’t pretend to be British.
