Alec Baldwin flew of his hinges at social media followers regarding their latest announcement of their sixth child, according to Fox News.
“She gave birth six months ago. If it was a surrogate just say that. If the baby was adopted just say that. If the baby was a product of an affair and you’ve decided to raise it with your wife just say that,” the commenter critiqued the couple via social media. “If you don’t want to say anything – why don’t you both stop constantly posting and begging for clickbait. Just raise your 100 children in private.”
Baldwin said “you should shut the f–k up and mind your own business.”
Someone else voiced, “why are people so mean” and added, “As far as the Spanish who cares.”
“Because, basically, they’re not very smart. Americans are people who know less about how to live a peaceful, healthy life than most of the civilized world,” Baldwin wrote.
“I’m beginnning to think some things are being done for attention,” one person reacted. “Feeling like they like to post vague stuff just to get all kinds of comments. Who posts a new addition to a family and doesn’t s–t about it? Very weird.”
“Is this a distraction from the I’m from Spain BS? What’s the game?” another questioned.
Hilaria Baldwin said, “I’ve spent the last month listening, reflecting, and asking myself how I can learn and grow. My parents raised my brother and me with two cultures, American and Spanish, and I feel a true sense of belonging to both.”
“The way I’ve spoken about myself and my deep connection to two cultures could have been better explained – I should have been more clear and I’m sorry. I’m proud of the way I was raised, and we’re raising our children to share the same love and respect for both.”
“Being vulnerable and pushing ourselves to learn and grow is what we’ve built our community on, and I hope to get back to the supportive and kind environment we’ve built together,” Baldwin concluded.
“The things I have shared about myself are very clear,” Baldwin said. “I was born in Boston. I spent time in Boston and in Spain. My family now lives in Spain. I moved to New York when I was 19 years old and I have lived here ever since. For me, I feel like I have spent 10 years sharing that story over and over again. And now it seems like it’s not enough.”
From Fox News:
The couple’s baby announcement came weeks after Hilaria issued a public apology for her recent heritage scandal, which saw 37-year-old yoga/wellness expert put on blast in December when it was discovered she wasn’t actually born in Spain — as she had implied — and instead was born and raised in Boston, Mass. Baldwin was also criticized for allegedly faking a Spanish accent. The bilingual mother of five’s accent noticeably fluctuated over the years when she made appearances on TV.
